James Harrison of the Steelers is a perfect example.

The good thing is, these guys are ALL young. How many players have looked like dogshit in their first 2-3 years, then all of a sudden "got it?" It happens all the time.

If these guys were 8-10 year veterans, then yeah, I'd say we've probably seen what they really are.
How? Do you honestly think that Hali or McBride is somehow going to emerge into a pass rushing machine? Derrick Johnson's had 4 years and he's been average at best. Donnie Edwards is old, Rocky Boiman is slow, Jason Babin is done, Pat Thomas sucks. Who do you think is lingering around on this squad just waiting to explode?

Not to take anything away from him but Harrison is surrounded by monster talent.
