He makes some good points.

quote:

"I don't want to get into that debate as far as the stats that he has and things he has," Peterson said. "Obviously, his job is definitely much easier than mine. If you look at their scheme and look at our scheme, he's a Cover-3 corner. Period."


quote:

"He's only covering space. He's not really covering a guy," Peterson said. "At the end of the day, he has great stats and he has great playmaking ability, not taking that away from him because he is a good corner.

"But as far as being a shutdown corner, man-to-man guy, in my eyes, I don't believe he's that."

Agreed, and I myself would take Peterson over Sherman.

Of course he doesn't
Sherman has every significant stat heavily in his favor.

Peterson isn't a shut down corner either. He's a nice corner, but vastly overrated.

Peterson acknowledged that fans will likely only look at interceptions, and Sherman wins that category. He has 20 interceptions since 2011, compared to Peterson's 12.

"He's only covering space. He's not really covering a guy," Peterson said. "At the end of the day, he has great stats and he has great playmaking ability, not taking that away from him because he is a good corner.

"But as far as being a shutdown corner, man-to-man guy, in my eyes, I don't believe he's that."

Interceptions, passes defended, QB rating against, interception %, yards after catch, pretty much everything.

That's irrelevant to his point.

In terms of being a CB, I'd still take Sherman over Peterson.

I wonder what the people who said Peterson was too 'classy' to respond to shermans comments last week feel about what Peterson had to say

Sherman plays a ton of man to man, so I don't get that either. Here's a perfect article comparing Sherman, Haden, and Peterson from an unbiased perspective. LINK /
