If he maintains his level of play, would you sign Claiborne to Kareem Jacksons contract

Madden 16 has Claiborne as the 103rd best corner in the league. They are pretty close in accounting for players strength and weaknesses. Even if they are off by a little, being ranked 103rd is no Bueno.

Put the controller down bruh

Then we should be able to get him signed as the 103rd highest paid corner.

I'm down wit that.

4 years 34 million 20 million guaranteed

Like Claiborne, Jackson had his struggles before turning it around and his early struggles ultimately drove his value down

Come on guys, I have not really seen anything that make me believe Claiborne has arrived. He's doing what he's paid to do which is his required job. Has he gone above and beyond?, No, IMHO. Let's talk about this in December.

Shutting down OBJ and only giving up 41 yards to Julio Jones isn't going above and beyond? What is "above and beyond" holding them both without a catch? So, he has to be better than Revis and Sherman? Got it.

Carr isn't going to get big money elsewhere - can be resigned for a modest salary.

If we have 10m to spend on an elite corner - Id rather get a proven one in FA than resign Mo.

I dont buy that we have a limited window to win a SB and so should throw common sense out the window and take risks. We've a young team in most positions. Draft a QB in round 1 and we'll we ok when Romo declines. I can see this team being successful beyond Romo. I can see the following happening:

Romo = Bledsoe
Draft QB = Brady.

Are you ******* serious right now? You're actually using a freaking video game as a premise for your argument? Mo has been terrific this season. Saying he's the 100th ranked corner is laughable. The dude has been battling injuries his whole career and was asked to play predominately zone coverage which isn't his strength. He absolutely blanketed Odell Beckham Jr. and did a solid job on Julio Jones until they started moving him around. He's given up zero big plays this year.

Can you call EA sports and tell them they got it wrong. He's a super stud and you guys got him rated the 103rd best corner. I tried to call myself but they told me to stop put down the bong before I call

Also are they that stupid that they don't realize what a talent he is. They seem to get everyone else's stats right.

Oh PFF has given Morris a -16.5 grade. So to recap, ProfootballFocus and madden have him rated as junk. I've tried to find a ranking from any news source that had him ranked as an average or better corner. What am I missing here? Everything I read says he's junky from news articles, sport analytic web sites, forum threads, and heck even madden. I watch the games and I guess he's doing ok for him but nothing inspiring.

Who said he was a super stud? I never said he was an elite corner. I said he was playing really good football right now and to label him the 100th corner is ridiculous. The fact that you're using Madden as a basis for your argument just shows me you really aren't watching the games.

Any ranking or article written done before this season started is junk. Forget that Madden crap also.

You ask "What am I missing here" simply tells me you haven't seen any of our 3 games yet this year despite the claim you have. Adding "I guess he's doing ok" only supports the fact you haven't seen him at all this year.

I watch all the games. Watch them live and on replay. Madden isn't the basis of my argument if you go back. It's is a multi pronged argument Now I have included PFF stats no w that show he is junk. It shows me you can't read.

Its not ridiculous that he's rated 100th. He's definitely not a top 32. Maybe a top 70

I have seen all three games Just because I don't view him the same way you do doesn't mean I did not. There are some here who " watch all the games" and think randle is good and awesome. There are others who think he's nothing more than a scatback Are they not watching the same game? There are those who watched preseason and touted colemans, lavar Edwards, jack crawfords greatness. Stating that these young group of dlinemen would help w the pressure. I think they are junk. Am I not watching the games. Read the 4th posting on this thread. There are a lot of others who think he's not very good as well. I guess they must not be watching either.

Lol. He is doing ok. Anyone who thinks he's doing great isn't watching the game or doesn't know what they are watching ( see I did the same thing you did). Trying to dismiss my argument by simply stating " you aren't watching the games" is a tactic often used here in the forums where posters have little factual argument to debate. I have provided PFF score, madden score, bleacher report, and my own eye test. All that is used to counter are " you ain't watching" " all that pff and other reports are junk". I just asking for any documented proof from some reliable/ respectable source that would suggest that Claiborne is an average cornerback.

And " I guess he's doing ok" is my way of saying he's looks average at best. Kind of like when you see an ugly girl and you tell your friends " I guess she looks ok". Translation : she's ugly bro

Again, WHO in FA? Have you seen the CBs that will be out there after this season? It's not a pretty list.

Fool me once and I trade up to draft Claiborne

Fool me twice and I sign him to a 20m guaranteed contract

And we can stop with the shutdown OBJ and JJones stuff. Wilcox gave OBJ a concussion in the first quarter and JJones shredded us or was I watching a different game.

And Claiborne didn't shadow Julio which is why there was only about 3 or 4 plays on Broaddus' breakdown.

Nobody can justify paying big money for 1 good year (provided the next 13 games are good).

You were watching Carr and Patmon get shredded.

I'm not sure what some of you are having trouble with here.

JJones killed all of them. He was their entire passing offense. I wouldn't hold up anyone's performance for praise.

No, he did not. How is giving up 41 yards being "killed"? Claiborne isn't Sherman and Revis, he's going to give some yards to Jones. However, stop with the myths. Dude hasn't got shredded, he hasn't given up big plays, give credit where it is due.
