NFC South FA

help us to 12 wins? we don't need his help. we just need him to be an average, even slightly below average cornerback. you realize that if you take away Jason David and replace him with any random average cornerback who can play man even a little bit last season we were like 11-5 right? lol.

I don't want to be the pessimist, but what makes everyone so sure that David will be a backup next year? The coaching staff has proven time and time again that they do not always play the best players. Some Examples (Starter - followed by obviously better alternative):

Jason David - Jason Craft, Usama Young, Anyone FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ANYONE!
Josh Bullocks - Kevin Kaesviharn
Mark Simmoneau - Brian Simmons
Scott Shanle - Brian Simmons
Jeff Faine - Jonathan Goodwin

Ok so my last two weren't obviously better alternatives, but they have been argued on this forum before. The point is that sometimes the coaching staff doesn't always play the right players no matter how obvious it might be to us. How else could anyone explain Bullocks starting the last two years (or ever). He was embarrasing to watch. After he got hurt and Kaesviharn started for him I thought there was no way that Bullocks would get his starting spot back, but he unexplainably did.

So when Jason David is starting across from Randall Gay on opening day, alot of you (including me) will be cursing at the TV (or maybe live), but don't be surprised. David is being paid too much money to be a backup, and he unfortunately will be the starter on opening day next year. For those of you who think Usama Young will be our starter are wishful thinkers. I don't know what anyone saw in Usama last year to think he could be a starter, because I missed it. He was below average at best, and will need more time. He may be better than Jason David, but is that really something to be proud of?

it's hard to say who has had the better offseason so far but you also have to consider coaching changes along with FA and draft

That is a very good point phatoosdey. New coaches can sometimes get alot more out of players than the old coach could. We might see that first hand this year with the Falcons. Hopefully they will still suck though. A new coach isn't going to fix the mess they have at QB.
