He is better in man and is playing in a zone defense. Not to compare him to Nhamdi but he was considered one of the best CBs in the game in Oakland b\c he played Man to man but once he was traded to Philly and played mostly zone he was cut and now is considered washed up

Good cover guy but struggles in run support and has been hurt most of the year.

This. Combination of injuries, a bad fit (scheme-wise) and Dallas' defense has been utterly atrocious the last two years.

This. Cowboys went full retard and switched to Tampa 2 this year. Another dumb decision by Jerry Jones by firing Rob Ryan and hiring a dinosaur. Now the Saints went from worst D to top 5 in one year. While the Cowboys have the worst defense this season

Claiborne is not a bust, he is in the wrong scheme. He was drafted to play in rob Ryan scheme which requires more man coverage suited to Claiborne capabilities. They fire Ryan, hire monte kiffin, and install the tampa 2 scheme, which is a lit of zone scheme which likely doesn't fit him as well. The scheme change along with injuries are the main issue I would say. Anyone who thinks scheme doesn't make a difference, look at the saints defense last year, and their defense this year. Most of the same players are starting, just with a scheme that fits what they are good at.

hes a bust. he was awful last year in rob ryans scheme and now this year the same

take off the purple glasses, if a former tiger sucks in the NFL its always the scheme or team.

he scored a 7 on the wunderlick and has been nowhere near worthy of a number 7 pick

He steadily got better over the season last year in Ryan's scheme as a fricking Rookie man. What makes you think he wouldn't have progressed after one season if Ryan would have stayed?

corners seem to take time to adjust to the league. As an example Kareem Jackson in Houston was dog shite his first few years and now he is easily a top 15 CB.

It's not Mo's fault your owner is a senile scum bag and your favorite franchise is a complete fricking joke.
