Why are so many fans in love with this guy?
Want to make it clear that I am in no way anti-Dawson. I liked the pick when we got him, and it is way too early to claim he is not going to develop into a solid starter.
I am just a dismayed as to why he has so many people who think he is so great. I hope they are all correct because I have been saying for 2 years that our LB corps was weak. Before last season there were a lot of people in love with Vinny because of one good game against the Ravens in '13, and Lamur was getting a lot of hype from coaches and fans. This year a lot of people were psyched about signing Hawk on his last legs and drafting Dawson.
At this point I am in favor of keeping Vinny on the field in front of Hawk, Lamur and Dawson. But nest year we need to take a LB high in the draft if Dawson does not take his game up a level.
LBs are not as crucial to a 4-3 scheme as they are in a 3-4. But they are still an important part of the defense that we could improve the easiest.
