I'm fine with his defensive shortcomings if he produced offensively. Just like I'm fine with Engelland having zero offense as long as he limits his mistakes defensively and wins the majority of his fights.
I'm Honestly more upset with Giordano this year than Wideman. Wideman is what he is, Gio is not anything like what he was last year or what he's going to be paid to be starting next year. It's a scary thought if he's play continues like this.

Sure, but get upset only if he continues to play "like this". He is, after all, coming back from major surgery.
