re: Detailed explanation for why Simon is #2 CB and not TM.

This thread is on the mark. Unfortunately people on here will always see the flare and not the blue collar work. Take Mo last season. Look at how much he was tested. How many ints he had and break-ups, etc. His cover skill were BETTER than PP7 last year and he will be a 1st or 2nd round pick.
Overall PP7 was/is a better athlete and has more upside considering what he did in the return game so naturally all the attention should go his way.
If someone said you will get a Mo talent and ability db every year in your program and you get a PP7 for once every 40 years, I will take the Mo talent level player...
Good players make other players look good. that can be said BOTH ways at the corner spot last year.
