Which ever way it goes.

If you can't make it in an attacking style defense, your chances of making it in the NFL are slim to none.Gholston belongs in any top 10 draft bust list, no questions asked. This will be his last year in the NFL.

Who will be the better CB? Your guess is as good as mine but I think McCourty is way more versatile.
Why limit the question to either/or?
Perhaps MCourty is a better fit for the Pats, and Wilson is a better fit for the Jets.
McCourty is more physical than Wilson, which is part of why he should be better in run support. He is also a better all-around (i.e., not just returns) special teams player. Belichick places a high value on that kind of versatility.
On the other hand Wilson has better ball skills. He's extremely confident, to the point of being ****y, which should fit in with the Jets' style. Not paricularly physical, but a ball hawk. As for special teams he's a good return man but would be a liability as a gunner, or for any other role on special teams.
What is so amazing about that Borges quote was not only was he wrong about Seymour and Light, EVERY one of the 3 players he mentioned that he thought the Pats SHOULD have drafted turned out to be huge BUSTS. Borges was SOOOOO incredibly wrong it was almost painful. Still he's a "sports journalist", and being a "sports journalist, means never having to say you are sorry...or being accountable, or being responsible.
On McCourty and Wilson, I have been on record from the start that I think McCourty will play on the outside where his physicality is best suited. I think he will ultimately have the bigger impact for his team. HOWEVER, for what the Jets needed right now, Wilson was a great pick. He will be a big improvement as the slot CB. I think HIS skill set is best suited for that position, and that was a need for the Jets
Its for that reason that I think if the Jets that first shot at both CBs, they STILL would have picked Wilson. The Jets are all about right now, and right now, Wilson's skill set best suited the Jets immediate needs.

Seymour has played 9 seasons in the league and people like you are still bringing up that quote. How is that not Borges being held accountable?
He didn't bring it up. See post 15. And if it's relevant to the conversation, I don't think it needs to have an expiration date.
1.) I said people like him. I understand that he was not the first to use it in this thread. BradyFTW! was the first with it in this thread, to the best of my recollection.
2.) I didn't say that it needed an expiration date. I noted it as a form of accountability. Nine years after it was written, it's still being used to hang Borges out to dry.
Well you're right then, because it's working. I'd never heard of it before today and I already think he's an idiot
Some great reading in here. Just don't understand the logic that becaue McCourty was selected before Wilson that he's better, or the suggestion that Wilson was only picked by the Jets because McCourty was no longer there. From everything I've seen since, Wilson was a better fit four our needs and the most likely candidate for the Jets all along.
If it makes anyone using that logic feel better, I'll tell you what you want to here. Mccourty is better than Wilson
McCourty isn't necessarily better than Wilson, but he measures across the board better (e.g., character traits- not just football). Like you said all Wilson did when he showed up was let everyone know what he had for breakfast. That is not a Patriot trait.
There were no such reports about Kyle Wilson puking. That was Joe McKnight, the Jets' 4th round draft choice.
IOW, he can't really cover slot guys all that well. A few pivot routes from Welker and Wilson is going to need therapy.
Actually, in the draft I wanted Wilson and hardly followed McCourty. But I'll take BB's word for it. He's proven me wrong more times than I'd like to remember.
FTW
Was that Borges??
Great Quote
