NFL top 100: Richard Sherman at 50, 3rd highest corner

[warden]

Ranking on the top 100 does not matter, pro bowl appearances do not matter.

Only two titles matter when it comes to Richard Sherman, ONE: he is a Seahawk, TWO: he can call himself a Superbowl champion. One down one to go.

 

[The Outfield]

Other than Winfield, I can't think who could rank higher than Sherman. Revis shouldn't since he was injured. Tillman?

 

[MizzouHawkGal]

Revis is already on the list but Tillman makes the most sense to me. Is Peterson already on the list?

Patrick Peterson will be on there I'm sure. IMO he's one of the most overrated players. Everyone seems to gawk as his special teams return prowess, nevermind his gaffe's against Seattle in Seattle.

In every statistical category Sherman is better than Peterson-- Tackles, Sacks, Forced Fumbles, Pass Defended and INT's.

I think both Sherman and Wilson are both underrated. I think Luck is extremely overrated (though I really like him and see him being a superstar)

 

[The Outfield]

I do agree with some others here, though. I like it more when our team is underrated than correctly rated or overrated. Gives us a chip on our shoulders and less media attention.

Totally agree. Crab OWNS that guy. completely unimpressed with Peterson.

As much as I can't stand him, Sherman is a better corner than either Peanut or Peterson.

-10K votes for Kaep hahaha :th2thumbs:

 

[hawker84]

this shows you exactly how effective Sherman was last year.. it breaks down individual matchups game by game...

Note: Crabtree was 7th with a 27% completion percentage. lol

It's way too low, but it's going to give him a chip on his shoulder. I am beside myself wondering how good he's going to play this year.

Lots of folks are saying he's ranked low because the other players don't like him. While that may be true, most of the guys interviewed about Sherm basically had the attitude of "he talks a lot, but he can back it up, so let him talk".

HEHE.

Sounds like alot of Seattle Seahawk fans are voting. LOL.

J/K.

wherever aldon smith is on the list he should be at least one spot behind justin smith.

Sigh.

Yup...Justin is the only reason Aldon is any good. No OLB ever had a guy as good as Justin Smith next to him. Clearly thats the case because the 33.5 sacks in his first 2 seasons is a record. ANYONE lining up to Justin Smith could do that. Right?

Everyone LOVES to say Aldon fell off at the end because Justin wasn't in there...but neglect to mention the fact that Aldon was PLAYING HURT.

First off, everyone is hurt that late in the season. We won't know what Aldon Smith can do until he takes the field healthy without Justin Smith. Maybe we'll get a chance in a year or two if Aldon can avoid getting stabbed.

It would be foolish to think that Aldon Smith doesn't benefit from the talent around him, the same as it would be foolish to think that the Seahawks' secondary doesn't benefit from a roaming Earl Thomas.

Many outside Seahawks' fandom discount Russell Wilson's achievements last year do to the talent around him, yet praise Colin Kaeperick without acknowledging the talent on the 49ers roster.

The fact is, no one plays in a vacuum.

I love pointing out to 49ers fans slobbering all over Kaepernick that he made it one play further than Alex Smith. They damned near went to the Super Bowl the year before with Mr. Mediocrity at the helm.

Kaepernick's the savior, he's a billion times better than Smith, now we're unstoppable!!!!!!111oneone

Yet ignoring the supreme level of overall talent on the rest of the team that carried them to a play shy of being in the 2012 Super Bowl. :roll:

Sherman is a great db, and I'm sure he's so low just because of how few games he's played (same with Wilson and Kaepernick). If he continues at the same level as last year then he'll easily be in the top 20 after next season. I don't think any rational person would argue that he wasn't the top CB in the league last year. He was consistently dominant, compared to the 2 CB's that are likely ahead of him in Charles Tillman and Patrick Peterson, who had games where they just got torched. Peterson is probably being rated higher because of his return skills, but he's nowhere close to a top 3 CB.

I can tell you didn't think that one through very well Roland. The Hawks made it just as far in the playoffs 2 years ago with Hasselbeck as they did last year with Russell Wilson. Does that diminish the impact Wilson made to the Seahawks last year?

speaking of not thinking through, Tarvaris never led us to playoffs pal

 

[Disp]

Ninja edit . For some reason I was thinking Hasselbeck was gone the year before.

 

[Lithium]

still, there is really no comparison though, 49ers had roughly the same team 2yrs ago and last year.

2010's Hasselbeck team was wayyyyy different than the 2012 Wilson led team

We weren't slobbering all over our team in the 7-9 playoffs year, plus last year, both were on the road. I don't think your response was as well thought-out as you think it was.

 

[misfit]

I was watching the reaction show, and Solomon Wilcots was saying Pat Peterson was definitely better than Sherman. Peterson has to be one of the most overrated players in the league. He is always getting burned...
