Talent wise? Byrd is the only competition on the list and even then Byrd wishes he was as good of a tackler. Vacarro can not hold a candle him as a safety. Phillips does not play line as well.

in a perfect world you would have all three on the field in a three safety set.

but but but can he stay healthy ??????????

Hagan, agreed on Byrd. I really hope he can stay healthy for us.
He can be a playermaker (something we lacked badly last year) but I won't hold my breath on Vacarro. His overall technique & tackling skills have been a huge disappointment thus far.

Maybe Allen can coach him up.

Edit: To your point RSaint, Kenny P is talented & has proven ability to move up the depth chart. I thought he would be as good as Sean Taylor coming out of Miami. Those injuries though...
