The coaches have constantly gone on record as to say that Doughty rarely made mistakes and he's played more then 1 game and 4 preseason contest, unless you want to argue Doughty in Blache's scheme. The scoreboard from games where Doughty started is in part evidence of this point. His numbers, as I've said before, are also very comprable to the numbers Landry put up at the start of the year when he was playing SS.

Either way Doughty has proven himself as an NFL level starter. On the other hand Horton proved today though that we MIGHT have someone special. Therefore I give the edge to Horton.

However to say that Doughty has done nothing with the playing time he's been given is a strawman argument.

if anyone doughty's proven he's not an nfl starter. he's an nfl backup that can start if you don't have a better option.
