Covitz:Brandon Flowers calls himself the ‘best corner in football’

[WhiteWhale]

There is no defensive position more important than pass rusher, and that includes CB.

That's like saying WR's are more important than QB's.

I'd disagree.

The rule changes have forced pass rushers to let up.

A solid secondary is more important now than ever...

The issue has always been finding guys for depth and to fill out the team.

I'm a Flowers fan but at $10MM he wasn't worth it just like Carr wasn't 3 years ago.

The rules **** the CB so you must have pass rushers and good safeties. Period. The $ needs to be spent on Houston and Berry. Especially if Ford works out.

It is what it is. Flowers should have stayed on a restructured deal which I am sure they tried to work out. His ass got greedy.

Not sure how this evolved into a debate of comparative positional value.

This started because of the manner in which Marcellus dismisses corners in the first post quoted here.

I didn't summarily dismiss the position, I said the $ is better spent on Houston and Berry and IMO you need elite pass rushers more than you need elite CB's. Flowers isn't elite anyway.

Flowers isn't worth $10MM a year, just like Carr wasn't. Spend the $ on Houston and Berry.

Thats what my post said.
