2.) Gay gets promoted to the #2 CB and proceeds to get burnt time after time. Gets demoted.

I believe this is the period during which he earned the nickname Big Play Willie Gay.

He plays hard and does a good job. In his current role.
 
Okay, I see your point, but how is that worse than Ike getting burnt time after time. Like you said, Willie got demoted. So why isn't Ike being demoted? He's playing as poorly now as Willie ever did. And I wholeheartedly agree with what many are saying that our coaching/front office have not taken this situation nearly serious enough. At this point, I'd rather deal with a rookie taking his lumps and hopefully showing improvement. Maybe Ike would excel in a 3rd/4th CB spot, I don't know.
 
bring back limas sweed to play CB!!!

Agreed. But there is no rookie to take Ike's place. They aren't going to put a 5th round rookie on the team to take his spot. It's obvious that the team has made a decision that CB isn't that important to their plans.
 
Bottom line is there is no one else on this team to replace Hands Taylor. The guy should have been replaced after the 2012 season and we had that chance but let Lewis go. We never even offered him a contract.

Now we are stuck with this guy. Oh I forgot we have Brice McCain.
