Unsung Cornerbacks: Oh Captain my Captain


Stumpy

Recommended Posts

From Yas

But the NFC South has far more to offer than just that when it comes to strong cornerback play. Let’s turn to Football Outsiders for a look at some unique statistics that put some NFC South cornerbacks in a very positive light.

Carolina’s Captain Munnerlyn, who sometimes has been overshadowed by Chris Gamble and Richard Marshall was No. 3 at 1.9 yards after the catch.

The article is using Footbal Outsiders "Best Cornerback Charting Stats" The three stats they use for judging CBs are Success Rate, Yards per Pass and YAC Allowed.

Captain's League Rankings...

YAC Allowed: 3rd

Success Rate: 26th

Yards per Pass: 27th

I've heard a lot of people on here saying that Munnerlyn cannot be a starting CB. According to this analysis, he is one of the top 32 in the NFL, at least

    • I could smell this excuse coming. Any starter drafted after the 2nd is a bonus, not an expectation. Oh we need more offensive help because we spent so much on defense. We spent all that because we've barely drafted any defensive starters the last 5 years. The way I see it you'll get a better return on investment in defense than offense currently with this team. We proved that last year with just a modicum of investment in the defense. I'm not the biggest believer in Evero but I trust him more than Bryce.  The biggest factor holding the offense back wears #9. Accuracy is one of his strengths? 23rd in the league while being 30th in Y/A. Someone will claim we get no YAC but 49% of our yards were YAC which is higher than most teams in the league.  Unless he drastically improves you're going to get a bad return on investment. Yes TMac had a great rookie year but it wasn't exactly efficient volume wise. He has one of the worst catch % in the league at just 57%, probably related to that 23rd accuracy ranking.
    • If this team lets the Bucks or Bulls catch them, Charles Lee should be fired immediately and punched in the face by some random fan on the way to his car. 
    • Bucks and Bulls have to try hard to tank and not take our play in spot at this point, still not mathematically eliminated I think but too tired to do the math, too close for comfort either way to close out the regular season in a drought
