I didn't think I would ever say it but i'm looking forward to seeing Elam on the field. Webb looks like a moth around a light bulb. Carl Davis is just another whiff.
I have to agree with you. Moth around light bulb, deer in the headlights with the reaction time of my grandmother. Yeah, Webb is no better at safety than he was at corner. Another old guy paid more than he was worth. Stanley can't get healthy, Kaufusi was a waste of a draft pick and those two added together equal Jalen Ramsey. Could we use him right now. If we had moved up, and traded the Stanley spot and Kaufusi spot, that was what Dallas wanted for the draft pick that would have gotten us Ramsey. We could have kept Monroe (he couldn't miss any more time than Stanley has), been no different on the line, but we would have added a pro bowl safety to go with Weddle. I was a straight up get Ramsey guy but accepted Stanley when he was producing. As it stands now, he is Eugene Monroe version II.
"Stanley can't get healthy, Kaufusi was a waste of a draft pick" This is just wrong. Kaufusi isn't a waste of a pick if he hasn't played yet. Not everyone is an instant starter, even when healthy. But when a draft pick gets hurt in training camp as a rookie, you can't call it a waste. Objectively wrong. Sometimes you don't find out until year 2 or 3. And you can't PREDICT injuries. And on Stanley....Can't get healthy? It's only week 6, not week 16 and he may even play this week. It's not like 2 seasons worth of off and on. And lest you forget, he was dominant in his first 3 games. Besides that, Stanley had never missed a start in his football life prior to this injury. Ever! So it's not like there was a history or trend we had to look out for. Why would we pass on him? Again, you can't PREDICT injuries. "We could have kept Monroe (he couldn't miss any more time than Stanley has), been no different on the line, but we would have added a pro bowl safety to go with Weddle." No, we couldn't have. And, you forget, he retired after we cut him! So your saying keep someone who we didn't want, and didn't want to be with us, and can't play without marijuana for pain management, who wasn't living up to his contract, who even when he was healthy wasn't playing his best? He wasn't the future. Again, wrong, objectively. You draft the cornerstone left tackle of the future when he's there. You obviously don't see the forest beyond the trees. We finally have a draft that yields some immediate starts and people are already complaining.
