Won't be much of a battle. Doughty knows the system and will probably be even better next year due to his training regimine as well as the fact that he has around 6 or 7 games as a starter all games in which he earned high marks from the coaching staff, the only opinion that really matters.

I mean whats your problem with Doughty, is it because he was a 6th round pick? Do you need a higher rated safety on your team for your Madden franchise?

We went through this exact situation with Adam Archletta. We had a good compliment to Taylor in Ryan Clark and what do we do? We sign Adam Archuletta to a big fat contract and let Clark go to the Steelers. By the middle of the season most of the fan base realized that letting Clark go was a mistake. Now we're faced with a similar situation, in that we have a great compliment to our star safety in Doughty. The only difference is this time the front office isn't bringing in some big name to compete with Reed.

One things for sure, if a "big name" is released part of the fan base will be all over the guy screaming vet min. I mean last year Leftwich gets released and the fan base starts screaming "vet min we have no one behind Campbell, we can develop him." Erasmus James, 5 sacks in 23 career games, "lets get him, what do you mean Chris Wilson got 6 sacks last year?" Roy Williams is rumored to be leaving Dallas when his contracts up, lets get him, he's great in coverage.

I mean damn, everytime. I guess part of me has come to accept it, that this is the way things are but still I can't believe how predictable this phenomenon has become.
