Do We Overrate Newman?

[Vintage]

I mean, outside of us (Dallas fans) no one really mentions him as a top tier corner.

Again, I understand the whole media/exposure angle that certain CBs have that Newman doesn't...

However, you would think somewhere, if he was really all that good, someone other than Dr. Z would have noticed.

The same Dr.Z who once listed Mario Edwards as one of the best CBs in the league.

I am not implying Newman isn't good or anything of that sort....

I think he is a bit under rated if anything. Newman did not get many chance at ints last season because he was not getting many balls thrown in his direction.

His numbers speak for him. No TDs allowed.

 

[Yeagermeister]

He doesn't get the credit he deserves because he doesn't have high int numbers. I think Adam or someone broke it down last year that he only gave up 2 or 3 completions per game. In my book that purty darn good.

His numbers speak for him. No TDs allowed.

They spoke for him in 2004 also.

He needs to repeat last year before passing any kind of definitive statement, good or bad.

I think the low INT numbers (compared to say, Bailey) is one big issue.

The bigger issue is that TNew is pretty humble. If he thumped his chest and drew attention to himself every time he made a solid play, he'd get more credit.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I think it's both.

We, as fans, do overrate him. The NFL, as a whole, underrates him. I think he's much better then what he's given credit for.

Well, I can definitively say he was pretty damn good in 2005.

=P

When did he say that Edwards was one of the best CBs in the game??

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

One other thing to consider of why I think he is underated.

He is just not as flashy or out there promoting himself like some of the other DBs are known for doing.

He seems to be more of a humble guy than what Deion was or even recently like DeAngelo (sp?)

Everyone is humble compared to Deion....even Hos

No pro bowls either.

He said Mario Edwards had one of the better years back in 2003.

Sometimes it's important for us to distinguish between a good player having a great year and a simple great player. He never said Edwards was great. He just thought he had an outstanding year.

Ah.

I couldn't remember the exact details of it.

Gracias.

Newman is very good, I don't think he is as good as Sanders. Deion scared QB's in his prime and when he got his hands on the ball he was a major threat to take it to the house. He was one of the very few who could bait a QB into throwing to what looked like a wideopen target and be able to cover the ground and make the pick. I think Deion was the best cover CB to play the game. JMO

Mario was good until they started calling PI tighter then he became the new Kevin Smith

No I am in no way saying he is that good.

But what I am saying is he is not flashy and acting a fool dancing and all of that on the field.

Heck even when deion was getting ready to field a return he was out looking like a fool dancing around with his arms in the air before the ball was even kicked.
