This kinda shows that you don’t really know what you’re watching then… maybe if you would’ve used an Alabama game as an example of him having a bad game then you’d sound a little more credible. But choosing the UCLA game as your example of him getting blasted, shows your ignorance… if you know football even slightly, then when you watched the UCLA game you would have seen a CB that made a (what many consider elite offensive minded coach) have to figure out an offensive game plan using only one side of the field. UCLA had a total of 9 complete passes and like 5 or 6 of them were to the opposite side of where Sting was lined up. And the other 3/4 completions only were to his side of the field bc it was thrown to a RB on a check down. 1 pass was thrown to his man; and it was late in the 4th after UCLA had been gashing us on the ground all night. EVERYBODY would have expected a run like Stingley did, and this gave his man the jump. Then Stingley tried to make a big play by going for the ball instead of securing the tackle, which is understandable/justifiable bc he knew that another score would have sealed the game and bc he assumed (albeit incorrectly) that surely he had a teammate that would come secure the tackle while he tried to get the ball… that’s advanced football awareness. And the NFL scouts see that kind of stuff and they know ((bc they’re pros that actually know the game and know what they are watching and/or looking for)) that down late in a game like that; that is what all elite DBs do; try to get the ball while the other teammates come “clean up” or “finish” the tackle. Big players make big plays; but no one is perfect nor successful 100% of the time when trying to make that play. But even on that ONE bad play; an NFL scout would have seen Stings amazing recovery time; and his elite speed.

Also if you knew what you were talking about; you would’ve noticed and known that all of DTR’s career his favorite target was/has been that stud tight end they have; and if you watched DTR closely, that was the first read his eyes went to anytime he dropped back to pass… BUT there were a few plays where Sting was manned up against that TE and every play DTR either scrambled to throw it away, or tucked it and ran, without even looking to Sting’s side and his favorite go to target.
