I just can't lump a player like Sherman with Browner. He (BB) was terrible in New England & his last year in Seattle when they won the SB, didn't see the field in the playoffs. Just a bad signing for the Saints.

Sherman is a proven commodity.

Re: Richard Sherman....

I haven't seen a corner who is better in run support than Richard Sherman. Excellent tackler.

“Sherman has been asked to track some receivers this season, and overall, he has allowed a passer rating of only 59.1 when targeted, remaining the league’s toughest corner to complete a pass on, going 16.2 snaps in coverage for every reception he allows—the best mark in the league, and 1.4 snaps higher than the next-best figure.” -

Go watch the film. Like...seriously. Y'all are way off on this one. The boards sees "potential" in P.J. Williams, Ken Crawley, and the rest of our injury prone secondary and begged to keep Sterling Moore...but disregards Richard Sherman and Malcolm Butler? Okay...

Watch his "highlights" when there is no safety over top or one of his dominant safeties is hurt. He is avg at best

No one shuts him down but PP and Norman have played him great.

Re: Richard Sherman....

Sherman brings some heart and smarts but also brings slow and cheat. NO. He is good but not some great CB and not worth anywhere near what is being discussed. We would be paying top dollar for someone that won't be covering top tier WR's. NO.

A true Legend in his own mind.................

Re: Richard Sherman....

We don't exactly do well with former aging Seahawks defensive backs...

Plus, I like the horses we have in the barn already, lets get the pass rush...

It's about matchups. Harris(or Talib) shut him down. He was quiet the first game against us. He has been locked down before. he often does not have back to back big games.
