My point being that even if you can make a Flowers comparison - though I believe it's a reach - Flowers still wasn't terribly good in this system precisely due to the lack of speed and size. Owens wasn't very good. Robinson wasn't very good. Undersized corners without great closing speed can work in some systems but they don't appear to work worth a damn in this one.
Obviously Nelson could prove me wrong, I'm just going by what corners have succeeded/failed in this system and what I see in the guy.

I already deleted my post because I kind of realized that making the Flowers comparison doesn't help Nelson's case. Player comparisons are dumb anyways.
