No question that expecting Ross To play at Peters' level this week probably isn't going to happen.
That being said there are opportunities to cover what you are losing w Peters and Ross at least athletically will be able to help there.
One thing people need to not anchor to is that the positions that players have been playing at are necessarily their best positions. It's possible that RB is Shaq's best position. It's possible that Ross' best position may be as a DB.
The difference is that I can't see Ross blowing up run plays like Peters could. It's rare to have a corner that hits as hard as he does and has all the cover abilities.
No monster long post ... Peter's was given multiple chances to figure it out but he thought he was bigger than the team. Cancerous enough Apple that he can slow down the necessary culture change.
If Ross embraces the change to CB then there isn't a significant step backwards. We now know why Ross is at CB. And let's be honest, Ross' only asset at WR is his speed - that asset plays best at CB.
That's a pretty big assumption. Ross has a little experience at CB, but he's been practicing there for a week. To expect him to play at an All Conference level this season is a stretch.
TSIO.
By next year I could see Ross being at the point where he isn't a significant step back. That's when it will count.
Based on what? It would be great if true, but Peters was projected by many to be a first round draft pick.
So was Jack H Lockner. #1 overall in fact.
What good did that do?
Peters was actually good on the field. This move doesn't matter because TSIO and he was leaving after the season anyways, but Peters was always really good.

Probably. It depends who else is available to play QB.

I'd rather have a great safety than a great CB. That's just me.

NFL salaries and draft positions disagree.
And Locker's greatness at safety is theoretical at best. A guy who can't ever stay healthy is supposed to excel at strong safety?

Unless Ronnie Fouch is my other choice at QB, yes.
Now if we're factoring in off the field/chemistry/culture stuff then that closes the gap some, but the context here was the on the field void Peters is leaving so I don't think that's a consideration.
