Is Kyle Wilson Better Than Antonio Cromartie?

I would bet if Wilson was on the outside, he’d do alot better job than Cro. And for the reasons you said, he won’t start

Cro has 3 INT, Wilson has 0

But seriously, no I don’t think so

early to say in Wilson career, but he has definitely improved.

but if it is true I’d love to see him get a shot at 2nd CB as long as we have a suitable slot CB. As for Cromartie, secretly dangle him and no one bites I say in the next offseason have him take reps at Safety.

If better is being more physical, covering your receivers better, not drawing stupid penalties (both fair and not), not running your mouth to the best QB in the league and then getting badly burned, not being afraid of contact, not being grossly overpaid, and not being an all-around liability; then yes, Kyle Wilson is the better CB.

With all of that said I can see how people would think I hate Cro or an unfair to him. That’s not the case at all, I sing his praises when he earns it. Simply put, I like Cro when he plays well and I hate him when he plays poorly.

I am happy we got him instead of Nnamdi, but there was a serious majority of people who, even after this week, have been saying Cro is great and people are crazy for being detractors. My answer to them is to WATCH THE F__KING GAMES, especially this season.

Cro’s upside is as amazing as his downside is deplorable. When he plays to his abilities there is no greater #2. When he doesn’t, he’s the worst player in the secondary. If you have to guess which player you’re going to see every game, they’re not a great player. That’s the definition of mediocre. FO manufactures the “burn rate” stat which Cro had 1 good year at (his contract year) and all of the sudden in spite of his playing habits he’s the greatest CB in the NFL behind Revis. I don’t think so.

Cro’s tenure in SD was deplorable. Watch some game tape of one of the few seasons where he was starting for them. With us he’s been nothing but feast or famine.

Bottom line is I just don’t see where or how Cro earned his place in the league. Call me a hater all you want. I can’t believe people were supporting him in the post-game threads, that’s like rooting for a horse that had to get put down on the track. He played AWFUL. He’s BEEN playing awful.

Please don’t cite the fact that Cro has 3 interceptions to me. It’s because 1.he’s playing off his assignment or 2.QB’s take more dangerous throws on him because they know they can likely complete them. Lowery was a bit of a ball hawk too but that didn’t make everyone automatically overlook his shortcomings. I’d take better coverage and all around play than picks any day. We’re supposed to rely on a shutdown secondary, not turnovers (although it’s hard to complain about getting the ball back).

It’s awfully easy to make fun of the Eagles for grossly overpaying a hyped player who’s not living up to his paycheck, what about us?

Honestly I think we would be better with Braylon!!! Second we could have done better in the FA Cro speed is up and down the field but Wilson has speed side to side and up and down the field. Cro experience gives him the edge but sometimes Cro looks like a rookie himself!!! Wilson working with Revis made big a difference I think he will be ready next year for sure plus he needs to show up anyway most likely its his contract year

I will actually disagree here, only because of Wilson’s inexperience thus lack of game film. My understanding is Wilson still gets help in his coverage and is covering lesser receivers. It is really hard to defend Cro’s play at all only saying he is expected to do more then any #2 corner in the league is asked to do. Then again he did fleece our FO for $8/year, which makes me a little ill just thinking about.

Even ASO or any other corner,because they will get the most targets.

You know what? You can not stop every single pass play as a team for the entire game.

I didn’t see Cro being trashed after the Ravens loss when he played shut down for the whole game- minus one bogus holding call.

But the two biggest changes that we need to make is at the safety position and linebacker position. Bart Scot can’t play every down next year and it may be time to possibly looking to replace Bryan Thomas as well. We don’t have enough athleticism or speed if you saw the lions game last night you know what I mean. Me and one of my friends last night were noticing the problems Briggs was having and that type of linebacker in the league is staring have since its become more of a passing league along with more counters. Guys like Briggs and Bart Scott have problems changing directions and keeping up with the new NFL style.

just give it a shot, for a drive or two against miami this week
