However, lists like this and the contract that Nelson is going to get just shows you how absolutely terrible CP (and the general fan) is at player evaluation. It's mostly because the TV coverage skews the perception.
"I saw Nelson get burned all the time". Well, of course you did - it's because the TV is only going to show him when the receiver makes the catch. So unless you are studying the ALL-22 every week (or see the games live and actually watch the coverage while not drunk  ), you aren't seeing all the times Nelson shut down his guy or held coverage long enough to help get a sack. Plus, you also need some idea of what the scheme was calling for.
I have felt from day one that Nelson's size is going to limit him to being a slot corner and I still believe that's where he plays best so I don't have a problem with letting him go. I do think that there is no guarantee that the Chiefs will be able to get someone next season that will match his production. I'm hoping the scheme change will help in that regard. |
I wondered when you'd get around here.
I'm pretty sure it was you and Staylor that I went round and round with for the last several years. I was gonna just call you that damn Oregon State homer but it seemed unprovoked...
But I mean, now that you're here...
