What makes you believe the Saints agree with you? Did they ever say he was great in coverage? Did they not just release him? They kept him around this long because for years they invested nothing into the defense and didn't view his position as a priority. He was used as an extra linebacker for all intents and purposes, and everyone knows that. If he were "great" in coverage 90% of the time, they would not have drafted a safety in the first round last year, and spent 58 million or whatever it was on a another this year. They could have just kept the crap they already had. But evidently, the Saints identified a problem and have finally decided to do something about it. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Opinions are like *******s, everyone has one... You're just wasting your time arguing with Danno when Harper isn't even on the team anymore... |

When used as a strong safety, he played well. He was nowhere near as bad as many made him out to be. He's obviously not as good now as he used to be and his salary exceeded his contributions. Lance Moore was also released, did he suck? Jed Collins was released, did he suck? Scott Fujita was let go, did he suck? Jonathan Vilma wasn't resigned, at one time he was one of the best MLB's in the league, I guess he sucked too? We let Chris Ivory walk, did he suck? Joique Bell? Did he suck? Reggie Bush? |

I'll take this over what we had to seasons ago, any day of the week. I'd rather be bored. I appreciate being bored so much more.
