PP7 overrated? I beg to differ! He's definitely an upper echelon corner, his return abilities are just an added bonus.

He's currently overrated, but he's also only 23 years old. He'll be the best corner in the NFL in 2 years IMO, but he's outside of the top 5 right now, but the top 5 are all much older than he is outside of Haden (25).

QBs had over a 90 Passer Rating against him, which put him at 66th for corners playing over 50% of their snaps. He gave up 6 touchdowns and got targeted a lot for an elite corner. Despite 90 targets, he only had 3 interceptions and 6 passes defended. He also gave up 284 yac

Sherman had a Rating of 36 against him, and gave up 1 TD and had 8 interceptions with 5 PDs despite only getting targeted 57x. 81 yac

Lewis had a rating of 67 against him. He gave up 3 TDs, 4 ints, and 5 PDs with 68 targets. 112 yac.

They aren't giving him those responsibilities anymore b/c he hasn't produced and is too valuable. His rookie season was incredible, but since then:

2013: 6 yard average which is 23rd in the NFL (and behind Sproles) with 0 touchdowns with 5 fumbles

2012: 8 yards (22nd in NFL) with 0 TDs with 2 fumbles

i don't know if Sherman is the best but the guy has picked off 8 passes two years in a row.

and people weren't really giving props to their safeties until this past season. So I'm not buying that he's the one who benefits from them. It works both ways, I'm sure he makes the safeties jobs a little easier at times too.

I'm sure Haden is a good player but I kind of laugh when people talk about how good he is. Seriously, how often do people watch the Browns play? Let alone, just watch Haden individually?

frick, I've had Sunday Ticket for a few years now and even having that.. you still can only watch so much. Its not like I'm going to flip the channel over to CLE-BAL to watch him when I can watch the Seahawks play the 49ers instead if the Saints aren't on.

Glad they gave props to our boy Keenan Lewis though.
