I believe that Bruce Irvin owes an eternal debt of thanks and gratitude to Russell Wilson and to a slightly lesser extent, Bobby Wagner. Never in the history of this franchise has a former 1st round pick been given so much patience in his development. The guy drafted in the 1st round the year before him has gotten way more scrutiny by we the fans than Irvin. They have both had similar careers in terms of production at their positions. They have each changed positions. The only difference is that James Carpenter doesn't have the luxery of having all-universe players picked after him.
It seems like the perception is that RW is the 1st rounder and Irvin is the 3rd rounder. If RW had not been a part of this draft class, would we all be clamoring to move on from the Irvin mistake? To me BI is an afterthought on this team. I like the potential he brings and certainly don't dislike him.
Is this his make or break year? Or does that even apply to him?
