For the Dockery haters

At what point does Dockery and few other Redskins (Ramsey, T. Jacobs) fall out of the category of a "young" developing player? Dockery is now in his third year, he is not a rookie/ young developing player anymore, he is now a veteran.
The reason I am saying is there were a couple of rookies that came straight of college last year, were drafted in lower rounds than Dockery was two years earlier, and started the entire season for their NFL team. The two rookies I am referring to started for San Diego, a team that went one game short of the Superbowl.
These two rookies played very well last year, better than Dockery played in his first two seasons. Dockery was very mistake prone in his first two seasons. At some point have to stop coddling certain players just because we drafted them high and have alot invested in them.

I was waiting for someone to say this, I find it hard to believe that if he was that much of a liability we wouldn't have replaced him already. We could have started Raymer at center last year and put Friedman at LG if Dockery was that bad. If he was that bad we could have signed someone this offseason to replace him or compete for his job. We didn't though, that tells me the coaches are comfortable with him for now.

As for when does he fall out of the young developing player category, this year! If he doesn't take his game to the next level this year I'll have no problem if he's replaced.

But if some people here had their way, Dockery wouldn't even have the chance to develop, he would have been replaced already.

The fact that he's started 29 straight games, and the coaches haven't looked to replace him, tells me they have a certain level of confidence in him.
