Link provided for Harper's internet best friend that couldn't look it up in my previous post. Don't get mad because someone called your "savior" not the brightest crayon in the box.

His plays and the fact that we drafted another SS demonstrated the writer's sentiment. We all knew this except a few delusional fans.

But what about the coach staff? Derp.

What the heck is presnapreads.com? Who cares about some random blogger?

Have a look at the writer's info sheet:

Limited athletes simply cannot play safety in the NFL anymore. Even the most intelligent of players will struggle significantly if he is even a half-step slow. That is largely because of the developing variety in offenses that will stretch the field more vertically and horizontally, while throwing different schemes and play-designs at the defense on a consistent basis. The influx of physical freaks playing the tight end position also doesn’t help.

Harper is a very limited athlete, but he is also not an intelligent player or a quick-reader of the game. This results in some gaudy numbers from an analytic point of view.

So the actual quote is just something that some former bleacher report writer thinks. Not that Harper has a low IQ based on something like a test, but rather something some random guy just thinks.

Former bleacher report writers might as well be as important as some squirrel from 870.

You're a buggy little troll, arent you?

And this is one man's opinion. There is nothing to substantiate him being "dumb" as you are trying to portray.

Yawn..... He may not be the best safety but always gives 100% and is a high character person.

I don't give a flying **** what some ex bleacher report blogger says.

Baseless and lazy journalism.

Doesn't sound like the author is calling Harper dumb. Reads as if he is saying he doesn't have a very high football IQ.

I'd say so, he was on twitter congratulating and welcoming Vaccarro within 20 minutes of his being drafted.

What an insult to Roman. Roman Harper's problem is something he has no control over. He has the skills of a linebacker in the body of a safety. There is nothing more frustrating for a player than being in between positions, but for what he does well, he should be a LB. But he doesn;t have the LB body...he has a safety body.

He is also kind of a throwback safety. Back in the old days, safeties could get away with not being the best in coverage. Not in 2013.

And you've never had a typo in your life?

Still mad about your favorite player being called ...Ahem!
