Lol gamble is basically having as good a year as revis

I don't think I understand what you are saying.

Gamble is a really good CB, QB's would just rather throw against Capt..

Ok, but this article is looking at the QB rating opposing quarterbacks have when throwing into the coverage of that corner. In other words, when that corner IS targeted, what is the QB rating of the quarterback?

In this case, it's extremely low, second only to Revis.

That's why there are multiple measures of how a corner is doing - not just number of receptions given up etc but also QB rating of QB targeting them, precisely for the reason you mention. Gamble is doing very well when quarterbacks DO look his direction.

Actually Hogan is pretty good in Madden. He is always my 3 or 4th corner. Sometimes I put him at FS.[/QUOTE]

LOL! I have been doing that too.

Gotcha...didn't click the link because it was a twitter link. Figured it was some fan spouting about how good Gamble is playing this year.

I am a huge fan of his, here's to hoping that he can hold it together for a few more years. Dude's getting long in the tooth, but some of the best play for a long time at corner these days.

Good point, but I'd wager that Revis was tested far fewer times than Gamble was this year. Having said that, seems like Butler was targeted almost every time the throw went outside on Saturday.

Did you see the Giants/Jets game? Revis is being challenged plenty this year compared to years past. He is still playing well but he is not completely shutting down players quite as much as last year.

Now we know why Gamble was benched last year. Fox was totally not going to be entertained with W's.

Revis Island was formed by lots of pass rush help.

Gamble played terrible last year. Even he has said so. Fox wasn't to blame for that. In fact, being embarrassed last year is probably what helped Gamble refocus this year.

That Joseph Person guy looks gay.

Just saying.

Didn't see that game, but I just checked into it and was surprised to see that Revis is being tested quite a bit this year. I gotta quit buying into the hype...not a Revis fan, BTW...

So where is Gamble statistically amongst CB's in the NFC? Is he having a pro-bowl season?

There are only 2 ways to get into the pro bowl as a defensive back:

1. Have a lot of picks.

2. have been voted to the pro bowl before.

Sadly, Gamble has only 3 picks and no previous trips, so he can't go.

what's interesting is that even with Gamble we're still bottom 5 in passing defense based on rating, the same statistic, at 94.2

so then what the hell is the passer rating against Munnerlyn like 158?
