Dutch 874 Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Inspired by our very own, BayAreaBomber, I have decided to start with the defensive top players list... First, list YOUR top ten CB's. GO GO GO Pretty sure I said make the CB list but here we go. 1. Darelle Revis- Until I've seen that he's declined any after his injury, he's still #1. The thought of what if he came back better similar to A.P... /shivers. 2. Richard Sherman 3. Charles Tillman 4. Ladarius Webb 5. Joe Haden 6. Antonio Cromartie 7. Jonathan Joseph 8. Patrick Peterson 9. Ike Taylor 10. Tim Jennings Honorable Mention: Brandon Carr, Casey Hayward Edited January 14, 2013 by dutchff7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted January 14, 2013 Is Patrick Peterson really that good? I'm not sure about 5th best, but I don't know enough about corners to say for sure. Where the fuck are Lardarius Webb and Ike Taylor? Seriously, bro. Cro at 4? LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted January 14, 2013 Fuck it, I'ma try.--All off the top of my head. Please don't flip if it's trbl. 1. Revis 2. Sherman 3. Tillman 4. Webb 5. Joseph 6. Jennings 7. Taylor 8. Haden 9. Carr 10. Flowers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is easily the toughest position to rank right next to WR with all the talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Antonio Cromartie also had a great year without Revis. He definitely was one of the bright spots and contributed alot why the Jets were #2 in pass defense. Edit: Fuck, I forgot about Jonathan Joseph as well.. wtf lol Edited January 14, 2013 by dutchff7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaep'tain+ 18 Posted January 14, 2013 1. Revis 2. Sherman 3. Tillman 4. Haden 5. Joseph 6. Flowers 7. Taylor 8. Webb 9. Cromartie 10. Carr 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glanvilles Grits 142 Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) 1. Derrelle Revis 2. Carlos Rodgers 3. Richard Sherman 4. Charles Tillman 5. Cortland Finnegan 6. Asante Samuel 7. Ike Taylor 8. Lardarius Webb 9. Antonio Cromartie 10. Brandon Flowers Honorable mention: Joe Haden. I'm extremely surprised at the complete lack of Carlos Rodgers on anyones list. He's had 2 great years in a row now, and gets no recognition from anyone still. Edited January 14, 2013 by Chris D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted January 14, 2013 I think Carr is better than Flowers, Chris D, and I don't think Carlos Rogers is top 10 CB. 2? Come on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted January 14, 2013 There are a lot of good corners in this league. Just because they don't crack the top 10 doesn't mean we don't realize it. There are borderline guys like Peterson, Rogers, Cromartie (in my case) Nnamdi, Webster, Winfield, Hall, Samuel, Browner, etc. Corners 8-20 are probably extremely close.

BwareDWare94 723 Posted January 14, 2013 Isn't Brandon Carr playing safety for the Cowboys now? Or was that just one week? That was Mike Jenkins who played some safety, but it was rumored for Carr, too, though I don't think he ever did. I loved Dallas' two starters this year. I was comfortable with either Carr or Claiborne covering whoever. It was Jenkins and Scandrick who needed work, something terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) 1. Darrelle Revis 2. Lardarius Webb 3. Richard Sherman 4. Asante Samuel 5. Brandon Flowers 6. Tim Jennings 7. Antoine Winfield 8. Jonathan Joseph 9. Charles Tillman 10. Joe Haden Just Missed: 11. Brandon Browner - Good player. Gonna be up there soon. Overshadowed by the guy on the other side though. 12. Champ - Regardless of his terrible performance against Baltimore (Thanks Chris...lol), he has played great even at the tender age of 97. He still has the talent and skill to play. 13. Brandon Carr - One phenomenal season (2011) surrounded by some good seasons. Good player. Talented. But not elite level. 14. Tarell Brown - Good, young player. Doesn't get the credit he deserves even on his own team. I've got your back bruh. 15. Casey Hayward - Put together one of the better seasons by any CB in recent memory... As a rookie. Needs more time though. Has to be able to sustain it. Only reason he isn't higher is because he is a rookie. Sucks to be held back, but you have to do it more than once. Outside Looking In: 16. Ike Taylor - He was awesome last year.. But is that who he is all the time? I just.. don't see it. 17. Patrick Peterson - One good season. Still young, and it shows. Makes some nice plays, but gets beat far too often to be higher. Edited January 14, 2013 by Favre4Ever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just putting my best list for top 10 corners in the game ATM..since that seems what the cool kids are doing in this thread anyway. >_> Edited January 16, 2013 by Julio4Ever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted January 14, 2013 For those of you who don't have Antoine Winfield in your top ten here's a little food for thought. Winfield was whistled for 2 penalties all year. Gave up 0 TD's. Averaged 9.6 yards per reception, and longest pass play he allowed was 41 yards and of his 87 tackles he missed only 8. Just ask Michael Vick how good of a blitzer he is. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) I am sorry... But if Sean is going to make a point for Antoine Winfield (all legit, btw). I have to take a stand for Asante Samuel. The guy might not have the greatest image... And there is a false perception of him, around this site at least, for "only" being a ball hawk, giving up big plays, and not tackling. These may have been justifiable years ago. I won't argue. But since oh god.. 2010 or so? He has been absolutely lock down. I remember having conversations with Eagle fans back then on his play. Something clicked. Something changed. He might have been good or decent before. But as he gets older, he has gotten better and better. The last 3 years... He's been one of the best, most shut down corners in the game. Edited January 14, 2013 by Favre4Ever 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
