Exactly...those who are trying to gauge his value as a starter dont see him for what he is. A solid backup, wave player that is an upgrade over Gay.Originally Posted by st33lersguy

what? gay was our best cornerback last year. very clearly
Array title="LLT has a reputation beyond repute">
Our "best cornerback" lost his job to ...a first year starter that was not as good as him?
We resigned an older cornerback to come back to be a starter...instead of putting our "best cornerback" in his place?
We just signed a CB who is obviously a nickle corner...because of our faith in our "best cornerback"?
People get caught up in the stats without putting them into perspective. William Gay forces us to cheat our safeties up to compensate instead of allowing them to play the outfield. There is a very good reason that as a unit, our defensive back play was so poor this last year. There is a very good reason that Gay isnt the #1 or #2 corner.
Stats never tell the whole story and beyond a shadow of a doubt, the front office will upgrade the DB backfield wiht players that open up our defense...not confine it in order to cover deficiencies.
Sure, you can say that Gay had solid stats this last year...but anyone who thinks he is our best Corner...MUST think that Dwyer is a better running back than Bell, because Dwyer had 4.0 yards per carry, and Bell had 3.5. Hey Stats dont lie, right?

Stats are the best way to lie. Numbers are nearly meaningless without many layers of context.
