I fully appreciate your point of view on PP's "True Position" but I propose that as long as he is not in a weak secondary to begin with then all that we should have to do is look at what he allowed Chevis to do when he totally locked down the opponent's best receiver at the cb position.
His presence was felt big time on many levels. IMO, the biggest advantage to having him at cb i college was that Chavis could be muh more aggressive in his play calling... and Chavis did a great job of using PP and the other good DBs.
Now in Arizona he might be better in the safety spot but I still don't think so. The advantage of having a dominant secondary like LSU enjoyed isn't quite there but the advantages that PP brings to the table by wrapping up the opponent's best receiving threat is still huge.
When you have a guy that can lock down any receiver in the nation when he is on his game is huge at any level.

He still doesn't change directions as well as the smaller CB's. It's not like he completely blankets the receiver (like stink on shite as my high school BB coach use to say). It's just hard to really stick to a receiver when you have that kind of size. Just physics, momentum and mass moving in one direction is harder to move in another direction. I just think at safety he would be maybe the greatest ever to play the position, although CB is a more coveted position. I just think great safetys are under rated. When you would have someone like Peterson anchoring your defense playing sideline to sideline in coverage, covering over the top on deep balls, and coming up and hitting RB's like a ton of bricks, it can't be under estimated what that does in making a defense. At LSU we were stacked at safety already with Brandon Taylor and Reid, but a little thin at CB, just thought when he got to the pros they would have tried him at safety. I think he must prefer play CB though
