Amerson was a drop in the bucket; a flyer at best. Teams gamble more on lesser possibilities all the time. I'm not going to excoriate him for taking a chance on a still fairly young veteran in Amerson.
The problem would have been getting through pre-season and not seeing the need for a change there. Because funny enough - Amerson actually looked really good in camp. I was impressed on the day I was out there. But in game action he was obviously ass.
Veach didn't buy into the fools gold and he deserves some credit there.
