My statement was about your argument. There is a difference between saying that he didn't take one for the team and that he benefited from nepotism and what was actually demonstrated on the field. If you make a claim about nepotism you should be able to back it up with more than some anecdote about his foot injury. You make the statement and the burden is on you to make the case for it, not for others to prove the opposite.
Relation to the DC has nothing to do with his athletic ability or knowledge of the defense as a senior.
