It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Is there a safety in the league that benefits more from 5-10 yd QB overthrows?A side by side comparison of stats with McCourty, Thomas, Weddle, etc shows that McCourty’s “lack of playmaking” is a myth. He also forces lots of turnovers, even though that’s often a function of the whole defense.
INT + FF = Total
McCourty
26 + 11 = 37
Thomas
30 + 12 = 42
Weddle
29 + 8 = 37
McCourty also rarely gambles in coverage.
The Patriots really did dominate the 2010 decade like no other team before.
Well....you could argue 50s Browns, 60s Packers, 70s Squealers, 80s 49ers were just as dominant as they accumulated more titles but your point is taken. They kicked ass and took names.
Please don’t come here to crap on PFF. If you don’t like their ratings, move along.
I’m glad to see they confirm what I’ve been saying for years, which is that McCourty is often ranked Tier B+ because of the perceived reputation of safeties, and the reality is he’s Tier A.
I wonder if Gronkowski would be #2 or even #1 had been 100% healthy throughout the decade...I would think so.
Pretty crazy that the Patriots had three of the league’s best CB’s throughout the decade, and neither Talib or Gilmore were consider elite (in actual production) when the Patriots picked them up.
1. Tom Brady
5. Rob Gronkowski
23. Darrelle Revis
26. Devin McCourty
76. Stephon Gilmore
80. Chandler Jones
85. Aqib Talib
Surprises (based on where they are):
4. Richard Sherman
12. Chris Harris
18. Peyton Manning
24. Casey Hayward
36. Chris Myers
42. Brandon Graham
53. Brent Grimes
56. Damon Harrison
66. Tyrann Mathieu
79. Fun Johnson
83. Keenan Allen

You gotta watch out for #1...but don't step in #2...I was thinking literally Number Two
