He really brings nothing to the table. He is terrible in pass and average to poor in the run. Why would you not let one of the younger safeties learn and get better and grown instead of having a junior with no upside and poor play keep starting. I would start parker at safety and work in some of the young guys at the other spot. I would also find a corner like Johnson or one of the young guys to play the nickel against spread teams. Thomas and Byrd would not be on the field.
