Nah I'm not buying that. Robinson was awful, and Porter was bad, but Greer got toasted.

Hate to throw numbers at this conversation, but according to "Advanced NFL Stats", Porter had a higher Win Probability Added (meaning he gave the Saints a higher chance of winning when he was on the field), a higher Success Rate (number of plays considered "successful"), and a lower Expected Points (meaning when he was on the field, fewer points would be given up).

Hate to counter with more numbers, but...

If our top 3 CB's were Awful, Bad and Toasted, then how did we finish with the 4th ranked pass defense in the entire league, (with an in the box SS and below average sack totals)?

We also finished 1st in the NFL for least TD passes allowed.
