Chieferific Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Sorry, I see VW as a role player and a backup. He has limited athleticism and is a liability on the edges. No, he's not terrible and behind Shazier the best we have. That doesn't mean he isn't upgradable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he could be upgraded but you can't have a pro bowler at every position. It seems like changing things only for the sake of changing things.

We'll see how he fairs with Shazier being out indefinitely. My guess is some of the people supporting him now will call for his head before the season is over. Just a hunch.

But it's something that helps the roster a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, if we can find a cheap, reliable, fast, run stuffing, coverage linebacker I am all for signing him. And then we'll all drive our Ferraris down Rainbow Road to the Super Bowl. This is not a shot at you, Slev, I just think we have much more glaring needs than Buck linebacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say on a scale of 0-10 with 0 being we're set long term, and 10 being why didn't we address this last year, VWill is about a 4.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I can think of anything optimistic in this situation is that maybe they are actually following the laws and keeping their mouths shut about a patient. I believe that's HIPAA. That's what I'm hopeful for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
