Next year we should be really good. Hope the defense can pick up the slack but this will be a hard one to get over

I like Klein and I feel like he should still start next year


But we need to go MLB in Round 1. To truly take our D from good to great we need that Luke Kuechly, Bobby Wagner, Deion Jones type MLB and Klein certainly is not that

Man that is a dick sandwich right there. Klein is a stud and cannot be replaced by anyone on the roster. Frick

I would like to win at least the wild card game. If we go to Philly, I think we stand a better chance than if we go to Minnesota.

As much as this offense needs a WR/TE to complement Kamara and Thomas, I agree with that or another DE/pass rusher.

Klein = Shanle
- High IQ, low athleticism
- good run stopper, cannot cover well

Anzalone/Robertson = Fujita/Casillas
- Good IQ, good athleticism
- Can cover, decent run stopper

Te'o = Dunbar
- Good backup
- Good IQ, decent athleticism
- Good run stopper, but nothing really else

No vilma. No high IQ, high athleticism guy on this roster

Damn, this means 5 starters lost to IR on defense this year. Klein, Okafor, Anzalone, Fairley, Breaux. And we lost a very good backup LB in Stupar as well. Brutal

This offense can't have the frickups like they have been having all year.

You can't take that kind of loss and still expect to be great.

Am I the only one who thinks Klein has been just serviceable?

Te’o > Klein

I don’t think there is a massive downgrade. I think we’re missing okafor significantly more.

Klein isn't that big a loss in a vacuum but now our depth is shredded. Teo goes down, we're fricked.

Okafor is a much bigger loss.

the defense is officially suspect. was really enjoying watching them this year. they won't be nearly as good now with all of the losses.

I'm of this opinion, as well.

If not now, I think Te'o ends up being the better player in time.

Yeah I have to say the panic attacks are surprising. I certainly don't understand anyone calling him a "stud"
