Sutton V. Tabor

To be fair, Amerson had a really good NFL season last year. Advanced stats had him as the 15th best CB in the NFL

That's great but he got burnt by Zack Rogers

Tabor's 2015 was easily better than Sutton's 2015.

Hard to compare for me so far.

Tabor played with a better all around D that put pressure on QB's consistantly therefore he had to cover for less time and that also made QB's make bad decisions more, and he also had a top corner across from him covering the best WR.

Stats make it appear Tabor is a little better, and he may very well be but hard to say with all the differences IMO.

Cam on a D that brings a lot of pressure and is a top 5 D all around and him covering the 2nd or even 3rd best WR on a team and he would have better stats than Tabor IMO.

No doubt I would rather have Cam in my locker room. Plus he's a helluva return man.

Also I've thought the step back we seen from Sutton last season may have something to do with him devoting so much more of his time in the return game. A lot of time at practice devoted to return and taking more snaps on game day, taking hits when he has always been the one dealing them. Couldve had an effect on his game. Or maybe I'm an idiot, was just a thought I've had.

Sutton broke or dislocated his jaw against OU when one of our own players slapped him celebrating a big hit. It wasn't shown on TV but if you were in the stadium you saw it. After the slap Sutton put his hands on his face and ran off the field. This is why he wasn't out there for OU's TD drive. It also affected him against UF and was why he played 7 yards off the receiver and would push them out of bounds instead of blowing them up. I believe he reinjured it in the 2nd half which is why he wasn't on the field on that 4th and 13. Butch's policy on player injuries meant no one talked about it until a few weeks later when he had to address why Sutton was seen with an ice pack on his face after a game.

His game against us had to beyond frustrating for him. The hype about him was built up and our skill position players picked on him for it.

IIRC we had an excellent O that year and a horrendous D. Patterson has made a lot of players look silly and he did that to Amerson a couple times that day.

They had no idea how explosive he was...by the time they adjusted, our other receivers were awake and doing their own damage.
