Darrelle Revis in his prime or Ed Reed in his prime?
Hmmm ...
Revis had four superstar seasons in his first 6 seasons with the Jets, and two duds (injuries). He then had a "decent" season with Tampa, a very good season with the Pats, and one more decent season with the Jets before falling off a cliff.
Reed's excellent "prime" lasted about 11 seasons, all with the same team.
McCourty has been very good for the Pats for 8 seasons and is under contract for two more.
I think I'd prefer a player who can provide a decade of Reed/McCourty - all with the Pats - than a guy who's a superstar for 3-4 seasons and then basically flames out after the first year of his second contract.
