Chris Gamble

as evidenced by what? I don't think robinson's a bad player but I always thought he was overrated.

by his play on the field (completely subjective, I realize).

I don't dislike Gamble, I just think he also has been overrated by our fanbase. He is a very good player, don't get me wrong.

Funny, I think our fanbase trashes him constantly for no reason. Robinson was held so highly because he was the only decent corner in FA this year. I've never seen anything out of him that made me think he was special at all. He doesn't get turnovers, he's got more tackles than gamble despite being worse in run support and fewer passes defensed.

outsiders has him rated lower than captain munnerlyn lol.

oh AND Ken Lucas.

I hated him when he was returning punts but he had a great contract year and hasnt really let up since then. He is a quality corner

Robinson's play imo gets overlooked but most of the best corner play has been in the AFC. He was the only decent FA corner but once he lands in the NFC I expect him to get more recognition.

Stats for corners imo are pointless to talk about - good or bad stats doesn't = good or bad player at that position imo. In the fantasy world of today players are rated by stats......A lot of corners have decent stats and that can be b/c opponents target them often. Doesn't make them good corners.

i agree with you about stats but Robinson has more tackles than gamble despite being used in run support less. That means he's being targeted more and still isn't putting up the numbers. Corner stats are misleading but at the end of the day we have to judge them on something.

Eh...Both Gamble AND D. Robinson are a bit overrated...

I would put Gamble over D.Robinson mostly because of Gamble being able to stay healthy and perform at a good level. I think people are worried that Dunta's injuries are taking a toll on him.

But Dunta in his prime > Gamble in his prime

not sure about that one.....

the one site I would like to find is a legit source that displays how many times CBs are thrown at.

[mmmbeans]

the other side of it is that robinson has had Peyton Manning throwing on him twice a year.

[Baschski]

Gamble is not at the elite tier of corners in the league, but he's right under it. He always does a good job containing opposing receivers and we very rarely see him get burned. He does a great job for our defense and we'd be focked without him.

[PhillyB]

lockdown corner? no. but he made randy moss his bitch last year so that's saying something.

[DickolausJ]

I saw Dunta Robinson burned so many times last year I thought he was going to catch on fire...

[Baschski]

I wouldn't say that Gamble is overpaid, given that he is a great corner and a very important piece of our defense. If we lost him our pass defense would instantly drop a couple notches.

[Khyber53]

Gamble is a good, solid corner and opposing quarterbacks would prefer to throw to the other side of the field than to take a chance against him.

What more can you ask for?
