Re: Nick Harper signed with Tennessee
Didn't seem like we were interested at all to me! The CB competition this year will be much like the QB competition last year and I have a feeling Youboty will be playing the part of Losman...if you know what I mean? Marv and Jauron will have a phony CB competition between Youboty, Thomas, and Greer, but it will be used to boost Youbotys confidence! If Youboty plays decent during training camp he will be starting opposite McGee this season.You can call me streetkings

This team has yet to learn it's lesson about replacing starters with our back-ups or other teams' back ups. Don't get me wrong- I think we can get by without Clements, but I assumed that meant signing someone like Harper or Hood. Right now, this team has a hell of a lot riding on a completely unproven player in Youboty.

But at this point he's still more proven than Youboty.
Once again, we lost a player and didn't replace him.

Well, there goes the season. And if we sign Chris Brown, we're dead in the water for at least three.
My gosh, I'm going back inside to avoid that nasty, plunging sky.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Re: Nick Harper signed with Tennessee
whats funny is that Harper was nothing that special on a Colts defense that really sucked last year, and saying Youbooty is unproven and some people wanting to draft a rookie is hilarious
Though Youbooty didnt play much at all last year at least he studied, practiced and learned alot about the pro game, he is better suited to step in as a starter than any rookie CB in this draft and the other CB's available in FA where not a significant upgrade over him especially for what they would have probably demanded in salary

I disagree about the FA's. Harper didn't get big money and played in a very similar defensive system. At this point, he would have made the team better because Youboty is a huge question mark. Like all draft picks, he could turn out to be great and he could turn out to be a bust- we simply don't know until he actually gets on the field. And I think the wiser choice would have been to sign someone like Harper to a cap-friendly, backloaded deal so if Youboty sucks, we have someone with experience and if Youboty's good, we can cut the vet with minimal cap implications.
Instead, we bet the proverbial farm on an unknown player in Youboty. If the rest of our D was solid, it might not be so bad, but we're still short at least one LB and still have the same crappy DL that couldn't generate pressure last year. So this organization has a lot riding on Ashton Youboty.
