How long do you keep Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly if they don't produce?

My God, give people a chance to grow into their careers before talking about cutting them in the preseason. SMH.

Very good post, your points are a good response to people that are obviously clueless about the development of a young player. Everyone wants results right away. It's funny how folks in here say the line "we must build through the draft" when you pull their strings, yet they get impatient when building through the draft takes longer than a season.
