Pretty solid piece of work. My only disagreement would be, I think he is wrong about Quddus. He seemed to show more promise as an actual safety than Harper ever did. IMO

Harper went to the pro bowl twice and under Gregg Williams was an upper tier safety.

IAQ is promising, but he hasn't shown squat compared to what Roman Harper has shown.

I don't think Q can play in the box like Harper either. Dude needs like three necks to measure up to harp.

Harper went due to his blitzing ability... he has never been a cover safety of any kind, you know this. i would be singing Harper's praises if he were 30lbs heavier and playing LB, but in reality he is nothing more than a liability in coverage.

+1. The guy sucks at his position. Time to cut bait, and move on.

This again? Two pro bowls because of sacks. Not because of how well he actually performed at his position. It was a joke that he was ever named a pro bowler. To each his own opinion (even if I completely disagree), but I won't be sad when they cut him. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but man, it's time to shed some weight.
