[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1075487, member: 18006"] Meanwhile, Eric Stokes is having the best year of his career... I want to make clear that I think the title of this article may be overly critical; given the information Gutekunst had to work with at the time, there was every reason not to take a chance on Stokes. But one thing I [I]do [/I]think was a mistake was expecting Hobbs (a career nickel back) to become an outside CB. He's an excellent slot CB, but has never been a good perimeter player. Several of us were very vocal about it at the time, and every week makes us look more and more like Nostradamus. He's out of position. Meanwhile, Valentine (a natural perimeter CB, who has shown steady improvement when given a chance), sits on the bench instead of out on the field developing as he should be. But Green Bay is making sure Javon Bullard is getting all the development he needs at the [I]slot [/I]position, because the X Factor and Evan Williams have the safety spot fully staffed. I know hindsight is 20-20, but more and more it's starting to look like that $18-27 million could have been better spent elsewhere and trusting Bullard to develop in the slot. The irony is, I think Valentine has the better upside, but he's not getting the development he needs (and has earned) because putting Hobbs where he belongs would cost Bullard the developmental snaps. And where has the Hobbs been who had to be chewed out for repeatedly hitting his teammates too hard in camp?? Trey McBride made him look like Little Orphan Annie yesterday; if Hobbs had hit him half as hard as he hit Marshawn Lloyd, he might have stopped him instead of bouncing 3 yards.
