I will also add he's behind Rookie Logan Ryan. None of us can say that Dowling is or could be a good CB, becuase he has never been healthy enough to show us. Happy trails Glass-I break a leg on your next team.:snob:
If Dowling really is the #3 CB going forward, I wouldn't call him a "bust". A bust is someone who can't contribute. If Dowling is a #3 CB, then I would say that he was drafted too early (as Dennard was drafted too late).
For example, we clearly "overpaid" in value for T Wilson and for Bequette. And whoever gets cut is certainly a bust. However, if either is a perennial backup, he's not a bust, just a solid backup (we need those too).
If Dowling is healthy, he may compete with Dennard, Ryan and a free agent (or 2) for reps in 2014.

I don't think this guy is a Crable
Borne of frustration I bet.It's kind of weird to me how watching a hard-working player suffer a string of injuries that derail his career & life tends to bring out anger, scorn and derision toward the player. (Instead of, say, disappointment, or even sympathy.)
Maybe it's a special fan edition of our old friend, the "just world hypothesis": not only must a player's suffering be his own fault, but it's a personal insult to us.
I gave up on his 1st trip to the IR, and the 2nd and soon the 3rd...
That draft picked was a real head scratcher...
It's a classic BB rope-a-dope. Like all the rumors about Randy Moss not being healthy before the 2007 season. Ras-I will be the 2007 Randy Moss of cornerbacks this year.
Trust me.

Trust me.
Assuming the Patriots could come to a reasonable contract restructure with Carlos Rogers, would he be somebody worth pursuing to help solidify the Secondary given the 49ers apparent interest in moving him?
