Chido was amazing this year, cant go on stats alone for CB play. Brown was an above average CB despite what people want to say. Difference is Brown was a penalty machine (At times) and up and down week to week. Chido is the much better coverage guy, although I will say put Brown with top really good Safetys behind him like Chido now has and his production probably goes up a notch too.
I’m not even sure we can say he’s doing better. He’s on a better team and much better defense but is his performance or talent better? Or just benefitting from being on a better team?
Very possible it is just a better scheme/supporting cast. That said though its still a really good lesson that just because someone has some struggles doesn't mean we have to ship them out. Chido was crucified around here, but honestly was probably a league average CB with a really bad supporting cast.
I won't argue...i liked Chido here and I know his coverage skills are very good. His problem, like every CB who played here prior to this year, was making plays.
No argument there either. I'd love to have Chidos coverage ability mixed with Diggs ability to find the ball. I just realize that is the top 1% of DBs, and sometimes think that expectations on our CBs are way overboard, especially 2020 and prior when we had maybe not even JAG level talent at multiple positions on defense. Good point about the comp pick too, thats something i hadnt considered.
We like cheap guys so we can have stock to go be draft warriors.
