Recognized as one of the very best safeties in the league. I'd say this is pretty positive.

We do other teams’ curbside cleanup better than anyone in the league.

He been playing at a high level and is still one of the top safeties in the league.

Zero objectivity. I swear it seems some of you are batting for the other team.

Honey Badger is definitely elite at his position. Not sure where the hate is coming from. One of the highest graded safeties in the league and I don’t think we’re really using him to his greatest strengths. I’d be bringing him off the edge from time to time. It is getting kind of old seeing every single player get **** on even when they’re high performers.

No hate... just reality and factually correct. The Badger had his time... it is now time for him to bow out, is all. Sorry. again, no hate.

It can’t be factually correct when he’s posting elite PFF grades in back to back years. He had 75 tackles and 4 picks last year. 91 tackles and 3 picks the year before. Now if you’re saying you think he’s about to fall of because he’s 32 then that’s cool, but that’s a prediction, not a fact. The fact is he hasn’t fallen off and he’s posting his best career numbers since 2015 in New Orleans. Also, elite safeties can tend to last a little longer than other positions. Darren Sharper joined us at 34 and practically led that defense to a Super Bowl with 71 tackles, 9 picks, and 3 TDs. You don’t have to be 25 at every position to be a good team or be set for the future.

Us not using him to his great strengths, or many of the extremely talented players at our disposal not being properly utilized, is a glaring example of our top-down mismanagement. Extremely frustrating.
