Exactly! Trust me, i speak nothing but the truth. He has been the worst player on their defense for years now. I have watched enough games to know. If this guy somehow helps us I will complete Crow.

I've personally watched just about every game Harpers played and while he used to be good against run and rushing the passer, it's been downhill since 2011 and looks like this:

Great guy personally though and I wouldn't expect any issues in lockeroom.

This is from last offseason:

Last year, however, Harper had zero sacks and zero forced fumbles under coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who played more zone defense and didn't blitz Harper very often. And Harper's longtime struggles in deep pass coverage were even more exposed.

Conversely he also had zero sacks last year.

Ryan Clark is still better. And did we really just use 2.25M of our cap on Roman Harper?

The rest of this post is edited so as to not offend with bitching and moaning.

Well Harper's still only 31 as opposed to 35.  I liked Clark too, but at least Harper can help with the Saints, and the rest of the NFC South for that matter.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
