On paper, they're younger, faster and more athletic.
It was clear as day that Mathieu lost a step last season. Reid is going to be more than an adequate replacement for Mathieu.

On paper, they’re unproven.
I’m not so sure all this Mathieu talk isn’t overstated. He wasn’t as good in 2021 as he was in 2020 or our 2019 Super Bowl run, but he was still better than the average safety.
There’s a chance Reid gets here and busts.

This may be true in the long run but Reid is still an unknown on our squad.
Say what you want about Mathieu but even making some business decisions and being annoying af sometimes, we knew what we were getting with him.
