Pass on him in a big way and rely on the scouting department to their job on the younger kids. If they can't do their job, hire someone else...it ain't like there's a personnel shortage in this country.
I admit I haven't watched him as closely as you and I don't doubt that his skill set has slipped. However, outside of basically Nnamdi and Revis, pretty much every corner in the league gets burned if you watch them closely. Just the nature of the game now. Plus, I heard somewhere that he was open to a move to free safety to extend his career. Might be a good fit.

Also, I think you are greatly discounting the value of experience and leadership. I think one of the big problems this year was the utter lack of a veteran presence. I don't want to go into next year with Glover Quin as the veteran presence.

And just asking for the scouting department to either do a better job or be replaced doesn't really get us anywhere. There is no way to magically make them do a better job and there is no indication that McNair will hold them accountable. You might as well ask for a unicorn.
