You're correct we have been over this. It was easy then as it is now to think of several safeties better than LL if you follow the league (not just the Skins).

Antoine Bethea - Ind
Tyvon Branch- Oak
George WilsonB - Buf
Roman Harper - NO
Dawan Landry - Jax
Antrel Rolle - NYG
Kenny Phillips - NYG
Ryan Clark - Pit

And of course Ed and Troy top the list. LL is a top 10 safety on his best day...he's average at best on most days. Each guy on the list above has outperformed Landry since the aquillies injury hands down. Certainly there is room for personal preference as in I think Clark, Harper and Branch are actually far more talented than Laron, but the point is there's no rational argument he's better than any of these guys.

The notion Laron Landry is an elite safety or even a great safety is becoming the greatest myth in Skins history. He's not a bust as I used to believe but he was never more than a poor man's Roy Williams...now looking this way more than ever.
