Nope; not the case. You remember a single play in a 16 game season and from that memory you somehow believe this guy is an adequate starting CB. And make no mistake, that's exactly what the NCB in this system is. For as much grief as Mauga gets as an 'inferior starter'; he's on the field less than our NCB would be and I'm absolutely certain he's better at his role than Nelson would be if left out there at NCB all season.

Well, in his defense, those are the types of guys you've got to have develop and cover the losses for these guys. Some things have to be filled internally, you can't throw money everywhere.
Some of these young guus are going to have to keep developing like they've done with some of the others.
