Y'all really need to be more reasonable in your analysis of Nelson. Tremon Smith needs to get twice as good to be an even below average NFL cornerback. He was horrid as a CB.
He's nowhere even close to Nelson and if you cut him right now he'd get nothing more than a futures contract. Meanwhile Nelson is probably going to be one of the 3 highest paid CBs in FA this year.

Watch again. He actually made a play on the ball a couple of times, although he did get burnt a couple of times and missed at least one tackle badly. Same stuff you saw week in and week out from Nelson, minus the actually making a play on the ball.
I honestly think some of you don't watch the game. Nelson is at best a 3rd corner on a plus defense. personally, I think he's an okay 4th corner. That's not worth $12 million a year. Smith is young, and the second fastest player on the team. It's absolutely reasonable to think he will get better, and you can't coach speed.
