We sold the farm for a situational player. You just admitted that Adams is not an "every down" player. That is why Kam has EVERYTHING to do with this. I clearly laid out how Kam could play a useful role on EVERY play, every situation, and if you want Adams to be a pseudo linebacker, then he has to have some short yardage ability and he has to take on pulling guards. Otherwise, you are defending a luxury piece. A guy that is only good for third and long. Outside of that situation he is useless.
The team sold the farm for a third and long package player. He makes waaaay too much money and the team gave up waaaay too much draft capital for his extremely limited skill set.
I get it. We are stuck with him so we got to find a way to make the most of it. He is definitely the worst "bang for the buck" guy on the team though. Cripes, we let Bobby Wagner go a couple years too early to keep his sorry arse. Had to make room under the cap. Unlike Adams, Bobby is a real linebacker and is useful on every down. Bobby was probably pissed off that Adams was getting paid like a Hall of Famer. I don't blame him for refusing to take the pay cut. I'll bet he even referenced Adams in his contract negotiations. I know I would have.
