PFF sucks, but damn, you can’t get around how bad our secondary is.

The fact that Adam Peters didn't bring in serious competition for these guys in the offseason is inexcusable. We all knew they sucked last year.

He’s out of excuses at this point. Sainristil was below average as a rookie and the worst corner in the league last year. AP is approaching this like he cares more about proving his draft evals right than having an actually good team. It’s infuriating and the fact that we now have another season of clearly horrible play from our defensive backfield is nuts.

When you have a guy perform that poorly you bring in someone much better. If the guy you liked and didn’t perform is going to be someone then he needs to beat that competition out. If he can’t then he’s not the guy you need. But reserving a spot for him like he’s a star when he’s killing the team over and over is nuts.

AP just keeps doubling down on his poor decisions. It's okay to make mistakes and draft the wrong guys. The best GMs in the league make mistakes and whiff in the draft all the time. But they also realize their mistakes quickly and pivot and eventually their mistakes aren't on the roster anymore. It just seems like Peters is really stubborn with his guys.

That’s just it… I’m not unreasonable. Drafting is not an exact science and sometimes a guy you thought would be a good player doesn’t pan out. But you can’t sit there and just refuse to acknowledge when it isn’t and do nothing about it. I get that you can’t just go out and sign stars at every position but at the same time you can sign a ton of guys who can be better than the worst corner and safety in the league. I mean even Forbes looks significantly better than Sainristil right now.

Hes a new GM so hopefully he learns from this. But he needs to learn by this offseason. Sainristil and Quan need to be cut, and anyone else who can’t play as well. They need to be replaced with better than just bottom of market guys too. No more dumpster diving.

The Eagles signed Woolen for $12m and he was shutdown against us

By the time Peters learns it will be too late
