Claiborne not optimistic about playing in Chicago

[Corso]

I'm going to maintain that I'm reserving judgement for one more year.
Just like I've been maintaining 10-6 this year.

I hope he can put it all together and start living up to his billing.

I don't know Lil Boosie and I haven't heard an artist I liked whose name started with "Lil".
Like the 90's when all those hip hop artists had to have "Ice" in their names.

I thought these guys were supposed to be creative and original...

more excuse-making per usual "he is not nearly as bad as this board makes him out to be"

also, if 'the best CB since Deion' is our 3rd best CB, our secondary must be lights out

We can keep using that draft day quote all we want...I am not sure how that makes it any less true that Claiborne helps this team...right now and is still very young.

People complaining and saying bench him for B.W. Webb probably wanted Terrance benched at the beginning of the season as well.

Players develop at different rates. I'm not sure why people would want him sat for an inferior player with less upside. Just incredible.

He cost way too much in comparison to his production. You know, I know, we all know that where he was taken in the draft he needed to be much, much better at the the very start.

And he wasn't. So how long are you going to cry about it? And rail against the guy who...when healthy still helps this team?

Just asking.

What's with all the hate and negativity surrounding Claiborne? The health part I understand, that I truly get, but his play, despite struggling at times in some games has been effective mostly as of late. Don't forget he only turned 23 as well, and in my opinion his biggest weakness right now is obviously his health and the fact that he still has a little bit if bulking up to do. But defensively at times he has been very good, and solid alongside Carr, not to mention his upside is greater than anybody on the roster still.


I say Claiborne right now is at 7 out of 10, and by this time next year he will be close to the 9. Don't forget who his coach is, Marinelli is a fantastic defensive mind, and he plays against Dez, Miles, TW and Beasley every day, that helps. Plus it doesn't help to be compared to arguably the best in the game Peterson.

TL;DR Claiborne is a solid player who just needs to stay healthy in order to become great.

I agree with everything you said...except Marinelli is not his coach.
