I'm not sure if you are familiar with this, but let me try to explain this as best I can. A safety, in football, is the last line of defense.. a safety net if you will.
When a defensive lineman fails to get to the quarterback and a receiver burns a corner, the safety is then called upon. Usually when this happens, a defense is at it's most vulnerable because after this safety net, there are no other players to make a tackle or break up a pass.
However, in order for this safety net to be needed, a sure amount of other things had to have gone wrong, though to an untrained football mind it may look as if sole blame should be placed on the safety who had the last chance to stop the play.
These big plays you're trying to blame on Hamlin (though several users have already successfully shown you that you're incorrect on most of the coverage schemes anyway) are never ALONE the safety's fault.
When a safety is consistently getting beat downfield, there is probably something else wrong other than just the safety alone. These are professional athletes that get paid millions because they know what they are doing.
Hamlin doesn't suck.
