Laron is amazing.  He is dedicated, driven, and extremely hard working......in the weight room.  Dude offers nothing at SS except missed tackles and 5 games played per season.  I think he'll get picked up but his career is going to start to dwindle, id be surprised if he's still in the league 2 years from now.

he was the absolute perfect compliment to Sean. 

 

Even physically ... you had the ball hawking, tall, mean hitting free safety with great hands 

 

And the squat, brickhouse, strong safety that could play  in the box and support the run

 

Christ even the Area 51 nickname came from heaven. 

 

:(

Except his run support was downright awful.

oh whatever ... how does a guy last this long in the NFL if he's awful at the only thing he's good at? we know he can't cover.  If he can't run support, then what? 

 

Why has he landed on three differnet teams and has been in the nfl the better part of 6-7 years?

 

His looks? nope

 

his muscles? don't think so. 

 

god knows its not his personality ...

You just answered your own question.  Because he has big muscles and teams think he is great in run support?  But when they realize he's awful they cut him and he goes to the next team.

LaRon Landry was actually a good pick in my opinion.

We wern't picking Adrian Peterson we had Clinton Portis already, who was still in his prime...

We wern't picking Revis we had Carlos and Shawn Springs already....

We wern't picking Willis we had London Fletcher already...

The one position we needed was SS and to be fair, Sean Taylor was having his best year as a redskin in 2007 WITH Landry before his unfortunate and ill-timely demise.

Exactly, hindsight is always 20/20. Theres no way of knowing who will be a stud, average, or a bust. Was needed a safety. All the those players listed played a position we had solid to good talent already in house.

He could've been better but he wasn't as bad as he was made out to be. Laron was mediocre here with flashe of brilliance.

Yes, there are ways.  The biggest one is good judgement.  Good judgement allows you to determine which qualities are more important than others.  Good judgement chooses substance over flash, while flash is the temptation and lure that bad execs just cant resist.  Landry was all flash.  He was appealing because he hit hard, not becuase he ever showed much in the way of good fundamentals.  Not only was he poor in coverage, he was a poor tackler, disguised by being able to lay out good hits.  

 

To say theres no way of knowing who will be a stud, average, or a bust is to ignore the reality that teams like the Patriots and Seahawks prove that wrong every year.  They know.  We dont.
