Rhodes is fun to watch.

Even then though. Trufant was 3 picks higher then Rhodes and started immediately but Rhodes didnt. So the naked eye would say Trufant was better because he made an impact earlier. All in all, Truant isn't the better CB. So to say Waynes is bad or Waynes is a bust just doesnt make sense. You can't judge a guy based off preseason. If we did that with Rhodes, we would think the guy is awful but thats not the case. You have to give some CBs time and that's exactly what Waynes needs.

I'm using the Rhodes example in defense of Waynes since that has been a hot topic
