Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 11:22:42 AMPFF Rankings2019, a middling Oline and a 4-12 season. Then the dink and dunk of 2022, only to get spanked by the Eagles in the playoffs. You glossed over the point. He will NEVER win this team a SB Trophy. Do I need to repeat myself? OK

The best DJ had was his rookie season when his on-field support was slightly below the mean. The rest of the time DJ has had bottom 3rd (and even dead last) support both in protection and receiving.
I don't see how, from that data, we can conclude that DJ needs "top 10" to be effective. I think accusations of making excuses hide the unrealistic expectations of those making the accusations.
DJ is like a car you stumble across with two flat tires. The engine starts, but that's all you can learn about the car because you can't drive it with two flats. Now, it's possible that once you fix the flats, it will turn out that the transmission is shot, and the car is still useless. However, until you fix the flat tires, there is no way to know what the car fully does. That's what you have with DJ. Until you give him half a chance, you can't say with any certainty what you have.
