    And the Jacksonville Jaguars offense breathes a collective sigh of relief

    Per NFL.com, Gholston is listed as "doubtful" for Sunday's game. Not unlike his future prospects.

    No, I am pretty confident he may go to another team, but history will repeat itself there and he will be released. He will never be a star, in football.

    BTW, how does anyone injure themselves during a walk-thru???? Did he trip over a stinkbug?

    This guy's motor was never going very fast anyway; I have a feeling it is shutting down.

    Remember how much everybody hated Bryan Thomas in his first few years? Took him a while, but he turned into a pretty solid NFL player, hardly a disappointment for a low-first rounder.

    You hope for a faster impact with a top-ten pick, but just because a guy isn't a great or even mediocre player a year and a half in doesn't mean he'll never become one.

    Not that I'm the guys hugest fan, I wanted Chris Long... don't remember who else I would've wanted, I don't recall being particularly enamoured with anybody else. But honestly, the everyday Gholston-watch is stupid. And I know it's not fueled by people on this board, its fueled by reporters who for some reason think this player being on the bench is a story worth following despite all the far more interesting stories on this team, such as Sanchez's solid rookie year, formerly anonymous linemen stepping up to fill Jenkins' shoes, Braylon Edwards starting to fulfill his tremendous potential (honestly, I think this guy has a chance to be New York's biggest sports star since Patrick Ewing). This sort of negativity is what defines the NY media and Jets fans. If he never pans out, its a disappointment, every team whiffs on prospects from time to time. But in the meantime, why focus on his struggles so often when we've got a great team to watch on sundays with great prospects for the future?

    He's going to be on the roster for a few years at least, and hopefully he eventually realizes some of that athletic potential. In the meantime, Jet fans should realize it's neither productive nor wise to take personal offense with the pace of his development.

    The fact that we have a great LB core starting ahead of him, and that Calvin Pace looks to be solidifying himself as a lights-out ballplayer, really should take a whole lot of the sting off.
