It’s the other way around. Right now, the only thing Bama is losing is a clipboard holder.

Its really not.

I know you want to believe Downs is superman because he is going to Georgia, but he really doesn't move the needle that much because safety just isn't that important. You can't succeed with bad safety play, but you can (and history shows many teams do) with just "good" safety play.

The one way a great safety can really help you is with a team with a good tight end if that safety can cover 1 on 1, but coverage isn't even Downs strong suit right now.

Is Downs really changing your win total projections for Bama or Georgia for the next two years? If he is, he shouldn't be.

If you told me to take one or the other right now its SUCH an easy call to take a swing on the QB that only improved his stock over the past year in becoming the number 1 QB in the country, even if Downs is established as a great player.
