Jason David Deserves Second Chance

Yeah, thats right. I said it! I know, I know…I KNOW. I’m gonna get some heat for this one, but what the heck.

I said I know!

I will be the first to admit that I was very unhappy with Jason David last season. Said some unkind words. Referred to him as Chasin’ David. Let’s face it, he was a HUGE disappointment. He was the marquee free agent acquisition last year, much like Vilma this year, and his addition was to be the key to a much needed defensive upgrade. The realization that he wasn’t started in the first game against the Colts when Manning picked on him multiple times, but I chalked it up to Peyton’s prior knowledge of David’s abilities having been on the same team previously. But as we all know, it continued as other teams seemed to prey on the known soft spot of the Saints defense until it became a running joke among fans and even the media. Line up your fastest and biggest receiver on him and let it fly.

But in my quest to be ever the optimist this season, I am going cut him some slack and join the “Jason David in ‘08″ campaign. Or probably more likely, start it.
