Ha HHSTigerAlumni, I wasnt saying Reid was better than KV or anything like that. Main point i was trying to get across is that, after 1 week, you cant say who is better than who. At this point, they both are really good young safetys. Both played great in their debut. But, you cant sit there and tell me this player is better than that player.

Are you kidding? He clearly is.


No hes not. Its not that hes better, but hes CLEARLY better?? How is KV clearly better than Reid after 1 week? You cant give me a legit reason why 1 is better than the other. Both have played 1 game in their young careers, and both balled out in their 1st game. Neither has the advantage over the other at the moment.

What can't I deal with?

Reid is better against the run, probably due to sec play. Vaccaro is better against the pass, probably from playing nickel against people like tavon who he shut down (his teammates sucked when covering Austin).

It's pretty rare to find a guy who can cover slot receivers on one play then a Tony Gonzales on the next. He had the best hips out of any defensive back and it shows. Hopefully Jenkins doesn't rub off on him. He's the best 1st round pick the saints have had since Payton took over

This is you right now. Super fricking defensive.





Just. Calm. Down.
Reid is better.

After 1 week?? I agree he was great in week 1. But your jumping the gun. Cam Jordan is great too. But, saying hes our best 1st round pick since Payton took over isnt saying much, considering almost all of our 1st round picks have been busts.

Bush - Did OK here.
Meachem - 27th pick, shouldnt be in the NFL anymore
Ellis - 7th pick, already "retired"
Jenkins - Been ok. Not a 14th pick though.
PRob - 32nd pick. Hes the 4th CB on the team. Hed be solid
for a 3rd round pick
Cam Jordan - 24th pick. Improved every year. Legit pick
Ingram - Also cost us 2 first rounders
Vacarro - Looks to be legit

We draft horrible in the 1st round. We draft great in the 3-6 rounds. We really need to do better in the 1st.

It is obviously a prediction based on his play in the preseason and against one of the best offenses in the NFL.

Jenkins has been horrible. He was the worst safety in the NFL last year. Missed 1 out of every 5 tackles

quote:

Cam Jordan - 24th pick. Improved every year. Legit pick




he's the best as of now. Vaccaro covers 3 positions of need though and allows Harper to play the box and gets Jenkins in better matchups.

looks like 2 of the last 3 are going to be pretty good. Jordan is an animal. Meachem was incredible in 2009 for a good stretch. Ellis is human trash
