He's been our best DB all season (I know faint praise, but still).
Where I want to see young guys is Adibi at LB (like we have seen the last two weeks. Beyond him I don't think we have any young guys I really want to see. If molden can't crack the 3 deep at CB on this roster what do we really need to see.

I don't care if he has been out "best" corner this year. Best out of a pile of crap isn't saying much. Reeves may be back next year, but he isn't the long term solution, and unless a light turns on he won't be here after next season. Molden was drafted as a long term contributer, and he is a rookie, we won't know what they have in him until he gets real playing time. Reeves on the other hand, is an "established" veteran. You know what you have in him, they need to forget the money they have in him and play him less in order to get the other guys more reps.
If he can't crack the top 3? How do you know there isn't some other reason driving that? Like . . .I don't know . . .a 25 million dollar contract? Kubiak has acknowledged in the past that he made mistakes not playing younger guys at the end of the year, how do you know he won't say the same thing this offseason about Molden?
