I had to go to page 2 to find the Jabrill thread.
You know he's been playing lights out when that is the case.
Tip of the cap to JP for a huge leap forward in year 2.
Actually, this thread had a lot of activity a couple weeks ago when he had a fantastic game. Last couple weeks he didn't play
great, especially against the Ravens. I think it's a reflection of the rise of expectations for him...we've come to expect him to play well.
Regardless, Jabrill had a very good season. He had more elite performances than bad performances this season, and in between he ranged from average to great.
I'll be the first to admit I hated the pick and I killed him for his play last year...though, I recognized that it wasn't entirely his fault as he was being played grossly out of position and held out hope that he could be a solid player at his natural position. I was overjoyed with how Jabrill played this season...he exceeded expectations.
Next step for him will be consistency. Nobody performs at a consistently elite level, but if he is able to eliminate the "bad" performances and replace them with average ones, sprinkled in with elite performances, he'll be a multi-time pro bowler at the least.
Hopefully this charade of having him return kicks/punts is over and he can spend all his time & focus, and get more snaps, on defense.
