I honestly think this talk of McCourty being toast is really premature.
1. I think he looks a lot slower
2. I think he doesn't seem to have the same vertical stretch he did last year
These two things make me think the answer is simple-- he's heavier. I'm going to guess he either put on too much weight during the extended offseason this year, or possibly he's put on muscle but bulked up a tad more than he's used to carrying.
Just watch him run, he looks to be quite a bit slower.
If the above is truly all it is, it's perfectly fixable.
I still believe McCourty is going to be all that by the end of the year or early on next season.
