Sherman actually has more picks than Revis in less games.
Uhh no he doesn't. :gucci:
Revis missed 2 or 3 weeks his 9th season and got 5ints and 4 fumbles with no additional playoff games to accumulate. Sherman about to play his 18th game this season and still hasn't beat those numbers this year.

First are we really giving that much credit to cbs getting fumble recoveries?

Sherm has 35 picks in 135 games revis has 29 in 145, and that's w sherm really slowing down on the picks the last few seasons. The gap used to be even greater

Bro I'm replying just to the season that Revis brought up. I'm correcting that poster who said Revis was lying. :manny:

Meh.

Revis has a ring and worked the system better than maybe any player in NFL history. Dude got PAID his career.

Plus, history gonna be much kinder to Revis than Sherm when ranking all time cornerbacks.

Sherm got the juice now obv, but Revis ain’t taking any L. His legacy is solidified.

The NFL 100 series didn't begin until '11, when Sherm was a rookie. But if you look at the 4 years that both Sherm and Revis overlapped at their primes, 2013-2016, this is how both were graded according to their peers. Keep in mind, NFL 100 comes out in training camp, so players are voting based on the previous year; so '13-16 is really based from 2012, the first year Sherm became a starter and an elite player, to 2015, the last year Revis was a Top 5 corner:

2013 (2012): Sherm 50 (#3 corner), Revis 67 (#5 corner)
2014 (2013): Sherm 7 (#1), Revis 37 (#3)
2015 (2014): Sherm 11 (#1), Revis 17 (#2)
2016 (2015): Sherm 20 (#3), Revis 24 (#4)

Not that this means everything, but keep in mind, The Coliseum places a premium on "what players say", and for the four years that both of their primes overlapped, their peers considered Sherm a better player every year...

So, maybe not specifically referencing you, but for all the guys who take players words to be bulletproof, there is nothing else to talk about, players think Sherm is better, at least in the period their primes overlapped...

Now, another angle would be looking at Revis pre-NFL 100 (2008-2010), when most people would say his best years were. But that would also be a negative for him, meaning he peaked so early and was on a gradual decline after that by the time he hit just Year 6, which was 2012, he wasn't even considered better than a 2nd year Richard Sherman by their peers...

Year 6. So for everybody who says Revus is the first ir second greatest corners ever, let's find the Year 6 GOAT CB who was declining and wasn't better than a Year 2 CB....

I'm just introducing another angle to analyze. End of the day, they are the two best corners of the 2010s. Who one prefers is subjective, but there certainly isn't a consensus that Revis was the better one of the two, certainly not by their peers. And again, according to this site, the players actually took the field with both guys and "know the game", they know Sherm didn't typically man, and they still thought he was better than the guy who mostly man'd...

Be interesting to hear the juelzing around common Coli "players say matters over anything" when it comes to this lol...


Don't step in that ring and make me do it lol, I've already done it in multiple threads. For single year, why it definitely isn't a lock, the '13 LOB is without question in the conversation for greatest single season defense ever. They in the convo...

When it comes to longevity, it isn't a debate, the 2010s LOB is the greatest defense in NFL history, and it isnt all that close. Maybe only one or two defenses since the merger can even be put in the conversation, close to no defenses ever lasted as long at the height of defensive acuity and production, and produced as many Pro Bowlers, All-Pros, and Hall Of Famers, as the LOB did...

He's not in the discussion for greatest corner and never has been. Not even greatest corner for a season.

This us some serious revisionist history. His peers thought he was the best corner in The League in '13 and '14, and besides that, your memory is different from mine. I definitely remember him being considered as arguably the best at his peak, with only Peterson and Revis in the convo with him...

IIRC, nikkas didn't even throw to Revis's direction on a regular basis.
