Someone named fiery should know. Or are you a false god?

Well if Mo Claiborne also grades well in it it is clearly legit

Everybody who plays this position gets burned on a fairly regular basis. After all, a “good” burn rate — that is, the percentage of passes thrown in your direction that are successfully completed — is in the low 40s, which is to say, you’re still getting beaten nearly half the time. No other position on the field requires players to be able to forget things as quickly, save for the left tackle spot. Good cornerbacks must have the competitive drive to take each moment as it comes and bounce back after giving up a big gain or touchdown to make a play on the next opportunity.

That's great but the whole point of our scheme is not to get burned and keep everything in front. He was definitely drafted because he fits it well.

Exactly. Either way, the kid is really good.

Just think. He is only going into his 3rd NFL game. He will only get better. Just think when he gets more experience and confidence, my God.

He was PFF's #1 rated CB in week 2

It took Josh Norman almost 3 years to crack the starting lineup on a consistent basis and get recognition.  Bradberry's getting recognized and receiving national attention for his good play after only 2 games.  Let that sink in.

Haha true. But unfortunately since I have had the displeasure of watching the Cowboys play football...credit must be given to Claiborne...he actually looks like he knows how to football this season.

Glad he's doing well. Him and Norman are separate players, different people. I feel like it's fair to him and to Norman to stop comparing the two from the past and the present. Just because he is doing what he is doing now in our scheme doesn't guarantee he will do better than what Josh did last year after Josh was accustomed to the system (although i would love that outcome). I'll stick to giving Bradberry his due credit and allowing him to show us what type of player he'll be for us each week, without the comparisons.
