102 points given up in 3 games against the decent teams (one minus its star RB) is scary

I'll grant the GB game wasn't a great 1st start, but what do you fault Robinson for in the Carolina and Houston game?

Carolina was mostly the 54 yard pass to Steve Smith (Greer covering), and a 69 yard run by Williams. Robinson certainly wasn't exploited in that game.

Against Houston, every DB and LB on the roster was schooled by Andre Johnson.

What exactly are you not sold on with Robinson, because the 102 points are much more an indictment on the entire defense than it is on Patrick Robinson.

Yes, it's an indictment against the entire D, of which he is a part.
He did not play well against GB or Hou.
Jax & Chi (minus Forte) have inept offenses, which leaves us to the Carolina game, in which he had zero tackles, and picked off a ball thrown right to him.

I'm not sold yet because two easy picks doesn't qualify a guy for the Pro Bowl, or even a starting spot in front of Porter. He might eventually be great, but I am not ready to canonize him just yet.

Oh, I missed the part where someone said he was a pro-bowler and a future hall of famer.
