STOP man ... young will never be anythink like sharper ... maybe in 8 years

man ... dont u see HOW smart Sharper really is? man ... the guy makes FAKES on a football field ... making the QB thinks he isnt on the play ... man, thats a serious playmaker ... he in the endzone is KILLER

he can bait any QB and he doesnt drop the ball ... really man, young can be a pretty good FS ... but, he will never be as smart as sharper, at least not right now .. it will take some time ... lets see if he learns with sharper ..

Look, to be fair, I made the same mistake with Sammy Knight. Focusing in on the players limitations and not fully appreciating the intangibles (i.e. ability to read and position himself). It took us almost a decade to effectively replace what Knight brought to the table. Hell, even more recently did the same thing as Shanle.

I fully admit my profound bias' as a "scout" :hihi:

But that said, can't shake the feeling of Sharper being potentially exposed by faster, quicker WRs in tight games with a decent QB at the helm. We'll see right? And even if he's a liability in that specific situation, it doesn't mean he's a bad player for us overall. How many good QBs will we face in tight situations this year? Probably not very many.
