One has been starting for years and brought in to be a starter from multiple teams. The other is Seymour. And yes every little bit does count when trying to win a title. Some trash is worse than other trash. You act like they are exactly the same person same speed same age same tendencies and drafted in the same range.

Scandrick has been on two teams. The one that drafted him cut him, and the other team cut him in less than six months.

He's just not that good.

 On the one hand you have a guy who was cut for salary and an overall youth movement. And on the other you have Seymour who just might not make the team based on his play. I’m not saying he is a top 40 corner in the league but is he better than starting Seymour? I think so. It’s like saying a Acura isn’t that much better than a Honda. Sure but one is definitely better than the other.

By all means I don’t mean jump on him because he is all that’s out there, I just don’t want to go into the season depending on Seymour. Wait til other CBs get cut, I don’t really care just please don’t start Seymour.

Seymour is not going to start...unless perhaps someone goes down. Bradberry, Jackson and Munnerlyn are in front of him, and Elder and Doss might make him expendable.

This..... and I don't know why I keep reading posts about Seymour is going to be a starting corner.... If he makes the team, he will be the 4th or 5th corner (and the way Doss is playing, Seymour better start worrying about a roster spot). With the defensive packages we have, we rarely run 4 CBs on the field because Luke and Shaq are good in coverage. So, we should rarely see him on the field (barring injury).

If we do sign Scandrick, he will also be a 4th or 5th CB, and I don't see him being too happy about that. Might end up causing trouble in the locker room.

There's probably two reasons why you see people expecting Seymour to be a starter.

1) Rivera named him a starter to begin the preseason, so obviously he thought Seymour was the best player available for that spot.  And as yet, there's been no word of his being demoted 

2) We've seen this movie before. Heck, we just went through a long period of "no way he's gonna start Silatolu" only to find he would have. And probably still would be if not for the injury.

Now, with all that said and even taking into account Rivera's history, I still can't imagine Seymour starting week one. Heck, I'm not even sure he'll start this Friday.

But I'd be lying if I said part of me wasn't scared of Rivera putting his faith where it wasn't warranted. We all know it wouldn't be the first time.
