FireChan Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 That was a little confusing. Deion was so good at coverage that a coach could forgive his poor tackling because they were able to do things with other players on defense that would give them a distinct advantage. If you think Gilmore is anywhere near that, you are insane. Actually that is exactly what you are doing. Yeah that's what I was saying. Doesn't by definition that make abilities in coverage worth more than tackling?

If you think Gilmore is anywhere near that, you are insane. Actually that is exactly what you are doing. No it's not. At all. We are discussing why CBs are paid what they are paid. You seem to think that because Gilmore is a poor tackler, he shouldn't be paid as a good cover corner.

Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Yeah that's what I was saying. Doesn't by definition that make abilities in coverage worth more than tackling? Yea our vastly overestimating Stephon Gilmore's coverage skills. When you are Deion Sanders, Darrell Green etc, you don't have to be the best tackler in the world. The fact that you are bringing up an all time great and comparing him to Gilmore says a lot. Sanders>>>>>>>>Gilmore in coverage. Gilmore doesn't even have to be great at tackling, but the effort isn't even there. He doesn't even slow up receivers when doing so would allow teammates to get there and complete the tackle.

Nice try. Number of tackles doesn't matter. Bringing up tackle stats and saying he had more tackles than Sherman shows how wrong you are. Seriously comparing Gilmore to Sherman in terms of tackling lol.

Wayne Cubed Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Bandit also compared him in terms of coverage. They are quite similar. I give up.
Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Bandit also compared him in terms of coverage. They are quite similar. Okay, keep believing Sherman and Gilmore are comparable corners.
FireChan Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Okay, keep believing Sherman and Gilmore are comparable corners. Their coverage stats are virtually identical. Sherman also has the benefit of All-Pro safety help, over Gilmore's dead safety in AW and old man Graham Edited March 8, 2017 by FireChan
BADOLBILZ Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I love Lattimore but you are 100% wrong on Gilmore. He is a loss to this team. I think Gilmore is a big immediate loss too.........but at the same time I think they'd regret signing him to a long term deal within 2 years. I wanted a franchise tag used. He's really good but I just don't trust him in to: 1) keep working on his game after paid 2) fix his tackling issues and subsequently STOP ending up on IR Gilmore has to be the worst CB tackler in the NFL. He is not a complete CB1 in the NFL. He is so inconsistent. At most he is a CB2. There are some very good CBs in this draft that can easily replace him. The question is will one of the top guys be there at #10 for us. THAT is a real possibility. He may compare to Sherman in terms of overall coverage stats..........but Richard Sherman is a fierce hitter and sound tackler when needed. Sherman took on Felton solo at full speed on 3rd and 1 in that Bills game and damn near stoned him......and got right up and was right back at it. I don't need a physical corner but if they can't tackle without getting hurt it's a problem. Their coverage stats are virtually identical. Sherman also has the benefit of All-Pro safety help, over Gilmore's dead safety in AW and old man Graham Question: Would you rather trade a third round pick for Sherman and pay him the $11M per year he has in base salary each of the next two years or sign Gilmore for $13M-$14M? Not a loaded question, I've just heard he might be available.
