While he could have immediate impact in the long run it will only hurt us in the same way having vet corners has hurt us. A lot of people say our corners are weak. A lot of people also forget we have 3 recent first round corners on our roster. What's the issue with these corners? For the most part they are simply unproven.

No, we don't.  Burfict, Minter, and V. Rey are all proven commodities.  Nick Vigil got good reps on the field last year, and has shown enough growth to be in the talk for a starting spot.

That is hardly "a bunch of unproven young linebackers".

While I agree that I would rather go with what we have, than go fishing for castoffs and over the hill guys, that is no reason to create a false illusion of the LB corps that we have.  I have a feeling that a few games into the season, a lot of folks are going to be talking about how surprised they are, at the strength of our LB corps.
