Wow., some of you guys are amazing. So based on what I've been reading most of you feel that Woodhead is better than LT, McCourty is better than Revis and Gronk is better than Keller. I think you can make fairly good arguments for the first and last cases, but I can assure you that NO NFL coach, not ever YOURS wouldn't swap Revis for McCourty in a heartbeat if given a chance. (And before you guys tell me about all of McCourty's INTs, let me remind you that rookies get targeted A LOT more often than proven shutdowns like Revis and Naamdi. Once McCourty earns the rep that those two have, his pick numbers are going to drop because a lot less throws will be coming his way. He has to earn that rep first thou...) Furthermore, the Jets safeties are weak and most teams exploit the middle of the field, far away from Revis.
Somebody mentioned that Revis dropped off a lot this year. Not true. Lets see, he held Andre Johnson (best receiver in the league) to 32 yards receiving on 4 catches, Calvin Johnson to 13 yards (1 catch), Ocho to 41 yards, Brandon Marshall to 16 yards (FYI - Revis didnt play in the first Fins game and Marshall had 166 yards receiving!), Donald Driver ZERO yards. The only TD he was beaten on this year was against you guys Week 2 and it took a one-handed catch from Moss to reel that one in. Additionally, Revis was still not up to game speed or shape at that point due to his holdout. Granted his year has not been quite as stellar in '10 as he was in '09, but truthfully, he had one of the ALL TIME GREAT seasons at CB last year (even Dion acknowledged that). A slight drop from that performance is to be expected. Heck, even Brady's "off years" are still exceptional by other players' standards...Sorry, but McCourty is not on Revis level yet. Does he have a chance with more experience? Certainly, but I would not count on it. Just like pitchers adjust to rookies that had great years at the plate in baseball, NFL QBs also make adjustments to DBs. Don't believe me? Ask your boy, Brady. You guys, off ALL fans should appreciate and understand QB adjustments. The book isn't out on the rookie McCourty yet. However, it IS on Revis since he's been in the league a few years and teams STILL can't solve him. They basically have all just decided to stay away from him as much as possible...Brady included.
BTW, just curious to know if you guys believe that the Jets possess one single player at any position that is better than the corresponding Pats player?
