You're absolutely right if he has star talent then it wouldn't matter. The fact is he's not good enough to play in the NFL. He could be 4th or 5th DE? Do teams even keep 5 DE on the 54 man roster? His combine was atrocious. How did his pro day go?

The Rams kept 5 DE the year he was cut.
You're missing my point. He's not the first DE that hasn't looked good in shorts doing LB drills. Far from it of course. There are a bunch of those guys playing in the league now, and they weren't the DPOY in the SEC. As it was, his deficiencies were scrutinized heavily where had he just been Dam the football player they would have barely registered.
Fringe roster guys aren't allowed to be stories off the field. It's no different than someone with legal issues. He just happened to be the biggest story off the field...frick, maybe ever. He was good enough to play. He just wasn't good enough to be gay and play. Too many guys that are close ability wise that don't have Oprah wanting to do a training camp documentary on them.
If you think he's NFL career is as simple as "he can't play" then you are being incredibly naive. Sorry.
