[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 612256, member: 9033"] For those interested in discussing cornerback performance, Football Outsiders has a terrific article up right now that delves into best starting corners ranked by adjusted success rate, defined as: share of targets on which the corner prevented a successful gain (45 percent of needed yards on first down, 60 percent on second down, and 100 percent on third down). Sam Shields, by this metric, ranks as the 7th best corner in the NFL (among #1 ccorners). Pretty interesting article. Certainly many could argue that interceptions should count more than just preventing a successful gain but I would argue that interceptions tend to be unpredictable and having a consistent corner that can simply prevent the offense from succeeding is a good thing. Anyway, here's the link for the article: [URL]http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2015/best-cornerback-stats-2014[/URL] [/QUOTE]
