Chris Conte Thoughts

Sense the season has ended there has been a whole lot of trash talk about Chris Conte. I don't think this is fair. I know he didn't look good last year, but why does it seem like all the blame falls on him. Why doesn't Briggs get blamed for missed tackles? He did miss quite a few last year. Why doesn't Bostic get blamed for all of his poor reads? There was a ton.

I'm not trying to blame Briggs or Bostic here, I like them both, I'm just pointing out that there was more than just Conte playing poor. Conte's poor play should probably be more brushed off over being over blamed. He was put in a bad situation almost every time somebody ran the ball. So they can get past 7 people, we forget about that, and then get past Conte and the was a blown play by Conte. What about the other 7?

I just don't think its fair to blame Conte for all that he is getting blamed for. Ed Reed in his prime couldn't have done much better.

So tell me what your honest thoughts are of him. I'm don't care if you like him or not, but if you don't, I wanna know why with limited references to the 2013 season. I wanna know what you saw in 2011 and 2012 that makes you not like him. 2013 references are fine, but if you wanna base your whole decision off of 2013 then its not a respectable decision in my opinion.

I'd also like to know your thoughts on Vereen. Do you think he can be a better safety than Conte? And why?
