he is exactly the same height as flowers 5'9.6''

Same size as Flowers... Why the **** does it matter now? You guys didn't whine about Flowers height.

They whine about it all the time, actually.

He will need that speed to catch up to the guy that caught the ball that got thrown over his head.

Yep. I've said it for awhile now and then boom. Seahawks secondary!

If Owens was even close to as talented as Flowers, no one would complain.

Another JAG ex-Falcon, I'd expect a similar result.

This place is hilarious. People are actually mad about this?

1) He costs nothing
2) Depth at DB is critically important given how many nickel and dime packages there are
3) Who cares if he's 5'9" or wasn't great against bigger receivers. Do people think his main reason for being there is to guard 6'2" WRs?
4) There is such a thing as signing depth. Something we've done a lousy job of the past 10 years. Likely an upgrade over Parker.
5) While providing quality depth, he's also excellent at special teams

So is this going to be a thing now where we whine about every single cheap backup we sign?

i agree with you our safeties will suck again this year

Sooo, a 5'9 180 poor mans Brandon Flowers... Dorsey is really ransacking the $5 bin this year.

Ok, chasing Harvin down showed some great effort and speed... I hereby withhold judgement on the midget for now.

When they started showing training camp footage as his highlights- I stopped watching.

The people who diss this signing should watch the Colts game again. Once Flowers got hurt everything changed. Hell we had Abdullah playing the ****ing slot because nobody else on the roster could.

This is a quality depth signing IMO and he appears to be a solid ST's player. Oh and did I mention he basically costs nothing?

The default position for many of us who've been disappointed by things so far is pretty much... "if I haven't even heard of the guy he probably sucks, just another slapdick".

Maybe that's not fair, but it is what it is... some of us wanted a bit more than we've gotten so far and some career backup slot guy isn't gonna put a big ol smile on our forlorn faces.

And your last line is the main reason why KC signed him. Dorsey can find max value guys, but every now and then he needs to sign market value guys...

This.
