“Neighbors bring food with death and flowers with sickness and little things in between. Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good-luck pennies, and our lives. But neighbors give in return. We never put back into the tree what we took out of it: we had given him nothing, and it made me sad.”
Well, considering that he has already proven himself capable of playing at a dominant level whenever he actually does see the field, I'd say that renders whatever reason his coaches didn't put him out there essentially trivial.
Here's the thing, though. What less than stellar play? He was a very good starter for the Panthers, very good in limited time with the Vikings, and then of course, very, very good for the Chiefs last year. The only reason that play hasn't turned into a contract for him yet is because he had a bad hip injury his last year with the Panthers, never got enough PT to prove himself with the Vikings, and his time with the Chiefs leads us to well.. now.
