I would say McLeod developed into a top performer in 2015 which was his fourth year with the team and third year starting. As you point out, he had some rough moments in 2013 and 2014.
So if the McLeod path is followed as you suggest, then we probably shouldn’t have confidence right now. That confidence will come a few years down the road after Mo develops some after getting live experience. If we’re accepting that Mo needs to develop but the coaches can do that, as it stands right now, we’re still taking a step back. IMO, that’s cause for concern. ))))))))))
Let's hope Mo is a fast learner and it won't take four years to develop him into a capable safety. I'm sure he has been training for this moment for awhile. I hope he's up to the task.
I broke to much of my stuff yelling at Craig Dahl for many years. I can't handle that again!!
