WR with elite skillset who hasn't had elite all-around production yet vs. elite FS?
I think safties are easier to replace and have less importance to a D than WR does to an O.
If I'm the Rams, I'd be verrrrryyyy reluctant to let Sammy go.
The further you are from the ball...the less value you have for ME.
I go way back on my feelings on safeties when everybody wanted Jarius Byrd.
I ain't paying franchise cheddar for a safety short of Ed Reed.
I would have been very happy with Byrd that year. Glad we didn't...
I'd say Joyner had elite production over 1 year. So definitely small sample size. But yeah, he's not Ed Reed.
FWIW, I think Snead has alluded to the merit of your distance from the ball philosophy. He's actually talked before about the lower importance of safety as a position group but the context was within various schemes. Who knows in Wade's scheme.
