Look at the passer rating allowed by Murphy, Hamilton, and Wilson. All three are good CBs, the numbers and eye ball test supports that. It's #darksidefakenews to claim otherwise.
I think people should be skeptical of coverage stats like this.
The Cardinals AREN'T getting beat one on one down the boundary.
One teams top 50 rated player is another teams undrafted grade. Only takes one team to fall in love with a player and overdraft them. I remember a few years ago we took the TE Christian in the 7th round, and then Jerry Jones tweeted a pic out with their board behind him and they had a second round grade on the guy. He did nothing in the league.
I think passer rating alone is a terrible measure as it doesn’t take down and distance and success of the play into consideration. It also doesn’t take run support into consideration or sacks or TFL, etc. it doesn’t reflect Hamilton deciding not to tackle kittle running into the endzone. But yeah, our defense is fine in any aspect.
That does seem to be what the evidence suggests. Top 5 DVOA vs #1 and #2 WRs but bad against other receivers (25th), TEs (30th), and running backs (30th).
Would be interesting to see the respective impact of 7th round picks verses these types of retreads.
Lol
Most overrated Card in history?
Yes, the fireable offense was going into the season with the CB depth chart what it was so that it required the dumb and desperate trade in the first place.
It also doesn't factor in:
Again, I don’t trust coverage stats. Obviously safeties are going to have worse coverage stats because they’re the last line of defense. Look at Monday night: that big TE catch was probably allowed by Simmons but likely credited to the safety because he was closer or something.
I am fine with the trade. It was that Keim has to cut him to avoid giving up a 6th rounder rubs me in the wrong way. Why not just keep him, let him recover from the injury, practice, and see what he has in him when healthy. He still can play one more game before the 6th rounder won't be triggered.
or, Mullen isnt a scheme fit so keim cut him before the price went up.
or bench him.... the Cardinals have a history of benching guys to keep their cost down...
Interesting, why did they let him fall all the way to the 7th? Were everyone they drafted that year graddd higher on their board?
I would trust them more for CBs vs. Safeties and others.

This is facts. Why does everyone that has worn the 21 stunk so bad. PP curse? Kevin Peterson was awful last year as well.
I know. I’m just so damn frustrated with AZ sports. Sorry.
