Dayne St.Clair with an absolute clinic tonight against the Redbulls. How we took Griffin Dorsey ahead of both him and Tajon in the draft is beyond cruel and criminal
They drafted the kid based on some ridiculous “remember the titans” speech and went to great lengths to play up his leadership qualities. Ignore the fact he was (and always has been) worse than multiple players who were drafted behind him.
Seeing as Curtis’s public persona is mostly personality free (and he literally just walked in the door for that one), I would pin this on Manning / Vanney.

I was thinking the same at the time. What a ludicrous pick in hindsight.
It seemed the first quality looked for by us in draft picks during Vanney’s tenure was the “squeaky clean, upstanding young man aspect”. Not that this is necessarily a bad quality but it caused us to overlook quite a bit of talent.
