Gamble had the 3rd lowest passer rating against. . .and Captain had the 2nd highest

I'm sensing a pattern here

- Lucas sucks, Marshall should be starting

- Marshall sucks, Captain should be starting

- Captain sucks, Hogan should be starting

fans are fickle but there have always been decent arguments surrounding all of those decisions. turns out lucas DID suck, so did marshall, and they were replaced. chances are captain will be replaced too (although i don't necessarily expect him to get cut, just dropped on the depth chart. he is veteran experience and a useful ST player.)

this franchise hasn't had a top notch cornerback tandem in years and with potential issues at safety i think it's the top priority in the draft/free agency.

Lucas certainly did not suck. His play dropped off towards the end but that's what happens to aging CBs. Marshall didn't suck either, he was great as a nickel and excellent on ST, just like Captain. I don't think he should be the #2 but my point is that fans shouldn't be so quick to bash CBs. Hell look at the comments about Gamble before this season. It's a high exposure position where it's easy to notice if a player is struggling but hard to see if they're doing well.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
