Statistically speaking, Chris Harris Jr. has clearly out performed Aqib Talib in the past 22 games, and it's not even that close.
As of a week or two ago and according to the NBC statistics which started in late 2013, Harris had given up an opposing QBR of something in the high 40's, compared to Talib's middle 60s. Both are excellent, but Harris' have obviously been better.
More importantly, Harris hasn't given up a TD since late 2013, continuing a stretch that has seen 22 games now (unless he gave one up vs. CLE last week). Talib has given up at least 5 in that same time frame.
Either way you look at it, both are very good CBs, and it's allowed DEN the luxury to continue to use their first round draft pick from last year, Roby, as the 3rd corner.
Chris Harris is covering number 2 receivers with help (likely).
