He has proven in the past that he can play. He says he is motivated.
Giving him some time to prove that, and re-establish himself and his career doesn't seem too unreasonable to me, especially since a) we have absolutely nothing to lose, and b) a lot to gain.

That's fine. But so far he is exactly the player many of us thought we were getting. His play in multiple preseason games is validating the concerns. The criticism is completely justified.
If he turns it around then fine. But what reason does anyone have that he will? Sounds like a lot of hopefully optimism and excuse making to me. More often than not a duck is a duck.
