On the negative side, also like Sherm and Earl it's what led to Bennett's departure.
Dude balled out and was one of the key leaders on one of the greatest defenses of all time, so I've got nothing but love for Mikey B.
There's a big difference between Earl/Bennett and Sherman.
Sherman is not even a great CB. Just an average Corner.
Bennett was good and worked hard. Just money hungry since he was undrafted, and didn't earn that much until he got his second contract extension with Seattle.
Also he got traded because of his big mouth, but regardless he was a great DE in Seattle.
If six pro-bowl appearances and three first team all-pro selections is your definition of average you need to get your eyes examined. In fact the only years he didn't make probowl were his rookie season, which arguably he was snubbed. He was elite by every metric. He didn't start right away either. The other years he wasn't selected were due to injury and injury recovery. He busted his achilles tendon in 2017. That injury takes time to recover from, and it showed in 2018 where he obviously wasn't an elite CB, just decent. In 2019 on the other hand, Sherman once again looked like the member of the LOB. He was a second team all-pro, and he arguably got snubbed for that position. PFF for example gave him the highest rating of any CB and put him on their own all-pro team.
If this is average, I want more average on the Seahawks.
@ Sgt. Largent many INT doesn't mean they are a great corner/safety.
Probowl means nothing in my book.
If not production and accolades, on what basis do you, poly, judge a player?
Sherm is going to be in the Hall of Fame, and made the 2010's all-decade team.
