Maybe we can be critical AND patiently wait for him to prove his critics wrong.

When players suck, they get rightfully called on. Sam in particular seems to have a small 'anti' following on here. I see the same handful of people disparaging his performance and his career trajectory every time discussion around him pops up.
Certainly most posters here seem to be taking the unsatisfied but patient route - I believe CP pretty much consensus called it when he was healthy scratched for the first time in his career. But it's posts like the ones listed below that has everyone preaching patience in his development.

I sure as hell hope he can figure it out otherwise what a wasted pick.

Step right up one and all, we're accepting applications for the "Where ru Chris O'Sullivan" position for Sam Bennett.
