I've never seen a defensive back in the NFL with worse ball skills than Gaines. He has absolutely no idea how to track a ball that is in the air.

Edit: I'm not sure I've seen a player at his position with worse ball skills at any level of football above high school. It really is astonishing how poorly he adjusts to the ball.

How useful would Revis be and what would it cost to rent him for three months?

Revis is completely shot, no one even tried him out at safety... he is done

The real problem is: with Berry missing, our defense is absolutely devoid of talent. Peters included.

Sadly, DeSean Leading With The Crown Of Your Helmet didn't pan out in this league.

I laughed my ass off when Dan Fouts said, "What the heck is Gains doing?" ROFL

He would be good at football camps to demonstrate what not to do.

I thought he refused to switch to safety.

edit: Looked it up, and he wanted to give it a go. I am genuinely curious how big a difference there is between old Revis and current Gaines.

Gaines played a good game until he slipped on OT. He is definitely better on the outside than the inside. I remember arguing that when he was the nickel. I feel sorry for him. He just had bad luck on that play.

He seems to have a lot of bad luck at the worst possible times. He's at the point where it's not luck, it's just bad.

You're presuming his mom can read.

I was a big Gaines backer.

At this point I'm convinced he's got the "Bartee Syndrome."

Above average talent but no ability to make a play on the ball. In important situations you can just lob it up and expect the WR to make the catch...
