I'm glad this thread was started. I didn't really hear one bad thing about klein until the offseason which confused me. During the season I felt nervous about the upcoming games when Klein was injured because I felt he was one of our top defenders.
I think many of us were optimistic that he’d start doing SOMETHING...it just never happened.
The Saints took a chance on a young ascending talent...and it probably didn’t pay off. It’s ok though..,they didn’t break the bank on him and you have to do a fair bit of speculation how someone will fit into your system. I think that Klein was helped being surrounded by excellence in the Panthers LB Corp and also benefited from a small sample size. Davis on the other hand was NOT surrounded by a great cast in NY, and has a much larger sample size. I’m much more confident in his acquisition. My only concern with Davis is that he’s now 29 years old. I think it’s very reasonable to expect some sort of decline over the next few seasons...but hopefully it’s not this season.
