Small sample this afternoon, but he had a chance to prove his value.
At this point he's not backup material, either.
Undersized rookie Ronnie Rivers has more heart, more moves, more upside than Akers at this point.
Had McVay planned around Henderson and Rivers, without the drag and distraction of Akers, would the game's outcome have been different? Akers didn't contribute a thing.
My message to Akers at this point would be: You say you want to be here, son, then work your ass off and show me why that's a good idea. Earn it.
Keep your mouth shut, unless it's to encourage and support your teammates.
And I'd repeat: You're not entitled to a dime you don't earn. And tell your agent to shut up and stay out of my way until contract time. We're here to play the game of football for huge amounts of money - this team exists for that purpose - not group therapy.
