My issue with Gay at this point is that they bring him off the field too much.

I'm not sure Gay can lead that LB unit. And if you prioritize Gay over Bolton, that's what you'll be asking him to do long-term.

Bolton has the savvy and intelligence - and the cache - to be the boss of the LB corps. Gay may not be able to be that guy. Frankly I'm not convinced he'd WANT to be that guy. I think Gay, given his druthers, would like to be told where to lineup and then go play with his hair on fire.

You need a more measured and cerebral leader of that unit, especially if he's flanked by two slobbering dogs like Gay and Chenal.

Otherwise you'll end up with Quay Walker out there shoving trainers and shit. Somebody's gotta set a tone of sanity and responsibility in the linebacker group and I think that guy is Bolton.
