Sounds about right for him. He should be top 5 without a doubt. I knew he was a decent signing since we were hurting at the LB position with all the busts in the draft, but I didnโt see him being this freaking good. I love beast LBs so having so many busts really soured me on the position, so Iโve been thrilled with the play of this guy. I love me some DeMario Davis.
I feel you. We've dealt with so much heartache and pain at LBer over the years. There was no reason to think that Davis would be anything other than an average to below average player. There was certainly no reason to think that we were signing our first 1st Team All Pro since 1993!
Consider this, the Saints had at least one Pro Bowl LBer on the roster every year from 1983 to 1993. From '94 to present the Saints have only had three Pro Bowl LBs:
Mark Fields - '00
Keith Mitchell - '00
Jonathan Vilma - '09, '10
Obviously Davis should've been named to the Pro Bowl but he was snubbed.
I don't worry too much over where a player is ranked on a top 5 or top 10 of anything. Saying a player is the "best" is subjective and even if there was a way to quantify it, it would still be subject to change year to year, or even week to week. Simply being considered one of the top 5 or top 10 best is close enough for me. It means a player is in that class, and we have a lot of those on our current roster. An absolute wealth of talent.
Dome Patrol in the 90s
Fields/Mitchell in 2000
Vilma in 2010
Demario Davis in 2020
So...we may get another good LB in 2030?
