This great article speaks to the paradox of cornerback stats. Last season QBs only threw at Revis once every 15 snaps, only Sherman who QBs threw at once every 17 snaps saw less targets his direction. Revis makes the entire secondary better because of his deterrent value. This leads to more passes being thrown at lesser WRs and in situations that generally the QB would be going to his #1 WR.

Revis was in a zone scheme last year in prior years, he was targeted by QBs once every 20+ times. McCourty, Browner, Dennard, and Ryan are all going to benefit from Revis being here.
