Sharper was an absolute beast in 09 and one of the main reasons the Saints ultimately won the superbowl. If he can give even 75% of what he gave that year he's worth bringing in. At the very least we won't see him whiff on as many tackles as meriweather.
I agree hope we don't lose him. Sharper has lost a step, but has the same step from 2009. He's not that old from that 2009 season. We think he has 2-3 years left in him, he reminds me of the Ray lewis of safeties. He's in amazing condition, and gentlemen watch you ladies if you get him. He loves the ladies.
I think he runs a 4.46 now.
His pluses are:
1. Hes a QB in the secondary. If he can't stop the pass he has the other CB where they are suppose to be. He single handed created porter and harper, and elevated greers game. he's intelligent enough to change coverage and man to man on the fly.
2. If he's not 1st string, he's a hell of a backup if someone goes down, he can play S,SS, and CB.
3. Sharper will get penalized. He is a hitter. IF you catch the ball, shaper will knock you out, he doesn't care. I saw this as a plus because R.wayne, missed the the last pass because sharper was clocking him in the SB either, Wayne I think was was looking for the hit, and dropped a perfectly thrown ball by PM.
4. He a great team mate and will teach your secondary to be better in a short period of time.
5. he's cheap
Sharpers minus:
1. He can't open field tackle well, he hits like he hits receivers , to knock them out, but that doesn't work on RB's. He usually bounces off.
2. Hes a little older so can't play 16 games
