Let's consider the fact that he was the 4th WORST corner in PFF ratings last season. I loved the guy, I will miss him, but you mean to say we can't replace that? We are a defense that is built off getting to the QB in many ways, we have to have corners who can man up big receivers without help. 5'9" isn't that exactly that. I stand by my stance that Gaines will be our best, or at least 2nd best CB by next year.
Houston/Smith >>> Flowers

It also didnt help that he played with a bum knee all season. If thats healed and he goes to a team that uses a scheme that plays to his strengths, (Houston) Id expect him to play as he did in 2012. Of course he'll no doubt bang something else up this season. When players keep getting banged up, its usually a sign they're slipping.
