One reason we should always give a rookie a couple years before we get out our pitch forks. Ferrell had 8 tackles and 2.5 sacks. There has only been 4 rookies to do that since sacks became an official stat. The others are DeMarcus Ware, Kevin Williams, and Justin Smith. The sample size is still too small, but maybe we show him some love. To me it seemed as if some fire was lit on several of them. That game was a huge win , keep it going.

Some of us here kept a level head about him. Way too early to call a bust. But it’s an old story on any message board. All kinds of irrational stuff.

I think many were just disappointed he had not done much. Very few called him a bust. Either way he played great and hopefully keeps it up.

Nice game for Ferrel. Keep it going....maybe he is starting to "get it", and maybe he is back to full strength after his illness. Lets see if he can keep improving and come up big vs the Chiefs.

I don't remember anyone credible going overboard on their criticism of him. More like the same over-caffeinated boneheads who overreact to everything.

As far as Ferrell goes, i thought that i saw somewhere that he had been sick and lost weight, though i have no idea as to whether there was more to it than that.

The season is long and people often make up their mind about a player with too small of a sample size. Say Ferrell gets healthy and finishes the 2nd half strong and the bust conversation will all but vanish.

Obviously math/stats don't arbitrarily work this way, but he's currently on pace for a stat line like this (For the people who determine a player's worth by the box score)

7 Sacks, 46 tackles, 8 TFL, 10 QB Hits 8 PD's

That would be a great rookie season for a 3 down base end. He's got a few rough Olines coming up that I think we'll see him take serious strides as a player against them.

Sometimes calling a player out lights a fire under him.

I liked the play where Ferrell had Rivers around the neck.

Maybe not, but I know of one who flat out called him TRASH. Come eat your f’n crow and apologize

one good game doesn't make a player great, need to see more of that and less of the penalties.
onwards and upwards.

Yep, just can't give him credit. Come on say something positive, it won't kill you.

Yeah, I am sure that the Raider Forum calling him out caused him to perform last night.

Its a simple formula.....if he plays well...we give him praise....He played well last night and made plays to help the team win.

If does noting....then we have to call it what it is.....simple

Ferrell has had two nice games back to back. Hopefully his confidence to continues to grow and we keep seeing the progression.

People were up in arms about Mack too, so fans need to be a bit patient.
