Scheme changes plus probably the toughest position on D (due to rules in the league now). He is getting better and will get better..I mean i was pissed we got rid of jenkins..jus sayin.

Just for grins...

Right now Claiborne is the 91st rated CB on PFF, out of 108 rated corners.

Mike Jenkins is rated 78th.

Can we all agree that the whole Claiborne thing is headed in the wrong direction?

It's still early to make any decisons like that. He was hurt and we did switch defenses. Next summer he better be on his game or the amount of heat he gets will rival what Austin is getting this year.

Well don't worry. Next year we will make an example out of him, and fire the DB coach. ;)

Its was too early to call him a bust. He hasnt lived up to expectations to say the least.
Im sure there are plenty of zoners who will love to expand on how much he sucks. Then how much the team sucks. lol

He sucks and the team sucks. Oh and miles sucks.

yeah a disappointment no doubt, but I still hold out hope for the guy. A lot can change, really.

Claiborne has played better but folks are kidding themselves if they think some lightswitch is going to off and he'll live up to the expectations of a top 10 pick. At best he can be a solid number 2 corner in this league, at best. He's never going to be anywhere near the player Jerruh advertised.

What made him so special out of that draft. What about him stood out so much?

Didnt Dontari Poe come out in that draft class? I know there were questions with his work ethic but the kid is doing great.

Ok, I've made it clear to everyone on the forum that I've hated this pick since the minute the trade was announced. Guys like Decastro, Wagners and even Jenkins IMO are all outplaying this kid. That being said, I've always hated the pick b/c of the resources given up to attain him, not necessarily the player so much. I didn't make a big hoopla about his injuries in the preseason but I did make a mental note that the kid seemed too comfortable pulling himself out when it was obvious he needed reps. Well this tweet from Broaddus today is making me wonder if we have a kid with an attitude problem. Not necessarily that he's a bad guy, he seams like a sweet kid off the field, but that he's too content missing practice (he keeps missing them for migraines too)...that's how I interpret Broaddus' tweet.

@BryanBroaddus on a scale of 1-10, how do your rate Claiborne so far in his career?

@BryanBroaddus @gregsimmons16 It's still early, look at Dez for example. Started off slow, now a stud.

@Rmcneal214 Just look how they approach the game each week. That tells you all you need to know.

That's typical Broaddus.

Hey on a scale of 1-10? I expected more.

Can you elaborate? Just look and it's obvious.

That guy is stealing a paycheck.

None of these guys have outplayed Claiborne and who gives a crap about Broaddus and what he says.

I didn't see these threads on Claiborne against the Eagles and Commanders. His guy didn't catch anything on him last game either. What else is he supposed to do? Give up zero catches every game?
