Default PD Game Ball - Brandon Meriweather

Sunday’s game against overmatched Tampa provided plenty of opportunities for various Patriots to step up.

Brandon Meriweather stood out.

The kid is the 3rd best safety in football right now, we know who 1 and 2 are, but Brandon is knocking on their door.

Are you serious? The kid is showing real signs of coming into his own, and is going to be a force in the Pats secondary for years to come, but he's not even the third best safety in the AFC, let alone the entire NFL.

What ? Tell me who is playing better than Brandon right now aside from the 2 obvious ones.

Of the two obvious ones, I don't think either one actually is playing better than him right now.

Exactly, one has been out for weeks and to be honest, I really haven't heard much from Ed Reed. I take nothing away from how great they are, but you are right, you'de have to put BM ahead of them as of right now.

I hope you're including Darren Sharper in your "obvious top two," but i somehow get the feeling that you're not.

That wasn't the original premise of the comment. The original premise was "Meriweather is the third best safety in the NFL".

I agree, Meriweather is outplaying a lot of safeties right now, in fact he's outplaying safeties who are flat out better than him right now.

At risk of sounding like the "guy who just hates Meriweather on Patsfans.com", which I don't, I'll say this: End of game situation where we need a big stop to win, I'll take Polamalu, Reed, and Sharper starting over Meriweather, and assuming full health, I might even take Bob Sanders.

Don't get me wrong, I think the kid will turn out to be one hell of a safety, but would we be anointing him as the third best safety, and "knocking on the door" of dominance? I really don't think so. Lets knock off the reactionary crap and save these kinds of discussions for the end of the regular season, we'll need something to talk about during the Bye.

Meriweather has been playing some inspired football and has clearly elevated his play this year. However, lets see him improve his tackling and stay at a consistent level for a couple of years before we start throwing around "one of the best in the league".
I like what I see. I just want to see more of it and for longer.
