You also just compared stats of Coman and Calhoun, when Coman was a backup last year.

Not sure why you don't think Coman is capable of improving. Or better yet, why you don't believe the coach when they say he has morphed into a beast.
Tell that to Jimmy Johnson who built a Cowboys dynasty moving players to positions they've never played before.

If he is indeed 6'3" 190 which is what he is listed at, he could very easily add some weight and get to 215 and play the SAM position that Wells played- where his safety experience would come into play and it would also play into his strengths which is hitting people hard while minimzing his weakness which is coverage.

Ifyouonlyknew was the one who initially brought up Calhoun- hence the comparison. And you know as well as I do that our back-ups played roughly the same amount of snaps as our back-ups- so even though it's not a great comparison to start with comparing players on both 1A and 1B is somewhat relevant. Even though I normally wouldn't pick Calhoun to compare Coman to.

I think Coman is capable of improving- but as I just explained literally minutes ago I believe his ceiling is limited. Especially when compared to someone like a Jamal Peters whom I believe will be a special player for us- and that's something I don't throw around a lot. The last two players I thought were special were Bear Wilson and Chris Jones.
