I was drunk last night when I posted. Here are my thoughts:
1. Don't think Smith or Dunta matter. CBs don't win championships. These guys are adequate enough
2. A lot of Eric Berry's problems might be mental. Don't know about Sutton's scheme, but he'll get Berry, DJ, etc... to play with their head on straight
3. Disagree on Baldwin's upside. He's garbage
4. Your rant about Alex Smith is turning into an unreasonable criticism of the Reid way. Reid wants to run a lot of spread and it seems clear he wanted that regardless of who our QB was. That's a good thing -- he's adapting to the game
5. You focused too much on defensive talent. That's not going to matter nearly as much as the scheme. I don't know if Sutton can run Rex Ryan's defense, or if Ryan is the pure brains behind it. If he can run it, it's intriguing and our personnel is a hell of a lot better to handle it than New York's
6. You have to define what success and failure mean. I think getting to the playoffs is a success. 3 years from now, it means getting to the Super Bowl. Alex Smith, for as much as you criticize him, is good enough to help us get to the playoffs and gives us an outside shot to win a playoff game. He's probably not the QB who takes us to a Super Bowl
