I don’t think that anyone was suggesting to take Kwon over Werner. They wanted Kwon as depth behind Werner and Davis. A better comp would be Kwon versus whoever our #3 LB current is

I think 1/2 of the board was asking for Kwon over Werner.

Except that's not what Kwon wanted. He didn't want to be a backup and STer so the comparison to our backup is moot.

Well…half of the board is dumb…so…

One of my favorite George Carlin jokes/observations is:

“Think about how stupid the average person is…then realize that half of them are stupider than that!”

There was tons of clambering all over the board with posters who wanted Kwon OVER Werner.

Before the season started, I recall several posts that argued Kwon should have been retained in order to start over Werner.

"Kwon Alexander is bigger, Pete Werner is scrawny!"

Uh, sir.. Werner is quite literally taller and heavier.

"Yeah, but in the pictures he looks bigger!!!!!! And he went to LSU!!!!"

Pete was a beast against Tampa

Thank you for posting!

I guess let’s hope that they keep throwing towards Pete, pretty darn good stats. Almost like a few years ago, when the opposing QB had a better QB rating throwing the ball away, instead of targeting Lattimore!

No, there were camps that wanted Kwon over Werner, as well as those who wanted both. Including suggestions Kwon should remain starter. In both camps, the underlying motivation seemed to be a lack of comfort with Werner as the starter, with various largely incorrect assertions about his size/speed/agility/experience/injury status being put about. The practice absences during preseason, while he rehabbed, only heightened the anxiety among a number of posters.

Whatever the motivation, the desire to have both here was unsustainable, as proven by Kwon deciding to start elsewhere.

The concept of starter redundancy (retaining more starters than there are starting positions available) is a fan fantasy that people keep trying to speak into existence.

Werner was drafted to replace Kwon. Simple as that. And he has done so.

He is really starting to look the part
Looking forward to seeing him develop even more

To be fair, he looked the part in 8 starts last year as well

But now people are noticing
