This. Flores has done so much right with our secondary that it's hard for me to question his knowledge in this area. But I simply cannot find a way to defend this move. I don't know if playing out of position was the sole reason he requested the trade though. I would have wanted out of Miami myself simply after being utterly embarrassed by Baltimore. We looked like a JV team that needed a mercy rule. But it is true that Minkah, Byron, and Xavien would be giving opposing QB's nightmares going into next season.The whole McCain at free safety was weird from the start. I guess they said he is the best communicator in the back end. That is the only strength I see from him in the safety position. His body just isn’t big enough for safety.
But why wouldn’t they just put Mikah back there last year? They went with McCain over Mikah. I don’t think I will ever understand that. I understand why they traded mikah. The relationship went down hill. But why would you pick Bobby Mcain as your free safety over the number 11 pick overall last year. Anybody have any idea why they did that?
Though you always have to take into account the Butterfly Effect. Had we kept a player as talented as Minkah, I think it's fair to assume we win one more game. At the very least, his presence would have definitely put us in danger of having that happen. That means no Tua.
So in the end, would you want Minkah and Herbert, or Jackson and Tua. I know what I choose 10 times out of 10.
I'm not someone that believes things happens for a reason. But I do believe **** happens and you makes the best of it. I think we did that. So no need crying over spilled milk. We got our franchise QB and a promising OT prospect.
I loved Minkah as a player, but I've more than moved on. After looking at the big picture, I'm glad everything went down the way it did.
