My points is that he's taking far more heat than he deserves. People are still trying to argue that Zombo is a better player and acting like the guys on the other side of the ball aren't getting paid to play this game as well. He's not a great player and isn't likely to ever be a great player, but he's been servicable and hasn't been the reason we've lost any of the games we've lost.
You see more shit thrown at him on Twitter during the game than virtually anybody else on the roster, as though getting blocked out is a mortal sin. It's just ridiculous. Hell, it's not like he was even a top 10 pick; most guys taken where he was taken AREN'T Marcus Peters. If you get a servicable player, you're doing fine.
If he had a full season worth of playing time, he'd be a 10 sack guy, IMO. That's pretty damn decent.

I get your point.
My point is that he is still the same guy he was two years ago.
He hasn't developed any pass rush skills beyond his initial burst and speed, and if he ever will be anything more than he is now, he has to have more than that single attribute.
