as big of a contract as they did without taking this into account along with the rest of his career shows laziness and ineptitude. I thought
with him being a veteran and learning from some of those great players on the Ravens would mean he would at the very least be solid.

Stone has been a liability back there. Terrible in coverage and as a tackler. Like I said, Tycen should of started over him who shows good
things all the time and has the athletic ability to play FS.

Here's what I think. I feel like they just assumed that because Stone was a Raven, and that because they draft and develop defensive talent so well, that he was on the verge of breaking out as a really good player and just needed full time reps to show it.  However, what they might not have considered is that this isn't the Ravens, there isn't a rich culture of defensive greatness and accountability here.
