Your analysis of Cromartie is just flat out wrong.
First you are saying how great his ball skills are based on what happened 3 years ago and ignoring that he has a TOTAL of 5 ints in the last 2 years.
You said last year was an off year, but by the stats you chose it was his best:
2009 48/84/590/2/3/72.0
2008 67/102/869/4/2/97.2
2007 23/41/270/1/9/44.8 but that rating is cut in half by ints
and in 2007 he only played in 8 reg season games and 400 snaps, (92 vs Indy) a lot as a NICKEL in zone not a man to man corner covering the #1.
You keep saying he had 10 Ints? Your source shows 7 reg season and 2 postseason.
The real fact is everything you can say about the guy is basically he picked off Manning 3 times in a game 3 years ago. Go get Ty Law too then.
I dont know where you are getting your info on Cromartie but its all backward. Including the laughable idea that he will be better in a risky man scheme when he is averse to contact and has never show man coverage skills.
BTW, be careful with Profootballfocus, there is no proof of the validity of their stats, and the conclusions they offer are weak.
Oh and by the way, proffotballfocus grades Cromartie at 56th among all corners, that is among the worst 9 starters, and he ranked 113 in 2008.
My analysis of Cromartie is flat out wrong? How can numbers be wrong? If Cromartie is 56th what is Butler with lesser numbers??
Overall profootballfocus is on point just because there stats don't favor your player doesn't mean there wrong. I don't think the creators thought to themselves "well lets make make the Pats look bad and favor the other teams" when they created that website. If you knew anything about profootballfocus.com, its that they started out somewhere during the 2007 season so that particular season is incomplete.
Antonio Cromartie Game Log - New York Jets - ESPN
He didn't have 9 total interceptions he had 12 along with 18 pass deflections. What has Butler done and what conclusive evidence does anyone have to show he is CLEARLY A BETTER BALLHAWK then Cromartie? A whopping 3 picks and 8 deflections? Whoopie dooo. At least you can say Cro has done it before but Butler never has. Is Bodden better then Revis because he allowed only 50% of passes thrown his way to be completed? You do not have justifiable evidence based on his numbers to just say Ohhh yeaa hes a better at X, Y, Z meanwhile I have statistics and something concrete to back up everything I have said to prove the Cromartie/Butler debate is indeed in favor of Cro.
Cromartie was a STARTER midway through the 2007 season playing MAN TO MAN COVERAGE ask any Charger fan. I made a error in saying he guarded #1`s through out the entire season my bad I own up to my mistakes. However Butler has only covered #3s for aa majority of the season so even if there coverage numbers are close last year, Cromartie did it against tougher competition meaning he is better as long as the numbers are close or identical which they are. I have brought up legitimate reasons why these past 2 years he has struggled. Reread my previous post about the scheme, Merriman falling off, oh yea and a playing with a fractured hip throughout the 2008 season.
Just like your analysis of the Mayo/Harris debate, your argument here is weak and not solid at all. Mayo, claiming a top 2-3 ILB versus David Harris, who IS 2nd team ALL PRO? So if he is the 2nd or 3rd best ILB in the game, why isn't he 2nd team ALL PRO instead of David Harris? The simple reason why he is not is because he is NOT BETTER. He's good just not on that level of playmaking. Just because he wears a Patriots uniform doesn't mean hes the best at what he does. Like I said David Harris last year made MORE PLAYS then Mayo has in his ENTIRE CAREER.
It seems when evaluating Patriot vs Jet players, as long as Patriot players numbers are only a notch below or within striking distance of another Jet players, they are better. That doesn't make sense.
