Your analogy was flawed from the jump.uscbucsfan1 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2024 2:24 pmNo... You can't just reframe the analogy.
The example of Foles is that he's a bad QB that had a magical run. White is a bad LB that had a magical run.
Britt isn't great, but the team around him did better when he played and he was a replacement to White. Do we want to commit to him long term? Debatable, but I'd pick him over White every day of the week.
Devin White is one of the bottom 5 LB in the NFL who flashes talent of a top 10 LB...rarely. He was benched because of this.
DW had more than just a magical run. He was highly touted, drafted top 5. He's made plays, he's been a difference maker on this defense over the past 5 seasons.
Britt is a bad LB who hasn't even had a magical run. He's been mostly average. Anyone can find a LB who can make tackles down the field and stand in space covering grass. Team around him doing better isn't an endorsement on him unless you can directly correlate that success to him (you can't).
I'll say again, make a case for Britt. Pretend DW doesn't exist. What does he bring to the table that should have people eager to see him on the field.
