Interesting Claiborne Stats

[AzorAhai]

Now like all stats, these have to be taken in the proper context. This doesn't show plays where he may have been beaten and wasn't targeted, or errant throws. With that said, it's still very encouraging. Watching him play, the stats for the most part back up what I've seen on the field. He's been a huge surprise this season and I hope it continues.

The sample size is far to small to really take anything from this. On top of that, I want a sub 50% completion percentage. Not 63%.

There has been a lot of talk about him improving this year. This is good, but I will withhold judgement at least until he has played eight games.

Article on ESPN that while Mo was out last year he "actually learned how to study film".

There's no problem with giving Mo credit. There's plenty to take from this. These stats show he's healthy and he's starting the year off well.

What was our defense ranked last week?....It's still early

That's good the 6th overall pick us stepping up. I always wanted him to be good.

It's like respect. It must be earned. I don't just hand it out.

Mo has played well. Maybe most of his completions has come when the defensive backs are playing prevent to stop the first down.

Send me $500 since you're good with giving things out for free.

His data for last year is way off. And Claiborne did not give up a TD to Walker (61 yarder). He was covering the CB (tightly) and came off him to attempt a tackle.

16 games, then if he's truly better, franchise tag and make him prove it again. Or he can walk.

For the guaranteed money the franchise tag would eat up you could likely sign him for 5.

Jus saying...

Going to sound like a broken record here......I'm sticking with my prediction that Mo will be a Cowboy next year.

It's definitely possible, but the odds aren't very good IMO. If he has a fantastic year, I could see him getting an offer that doesn't fit us. The only way I see him staying is if he has a decent year, but nothing to write home about. (ie, doesn't really draw the interest of other teams with cash to spend)

Well we declined the 4th year option which was set at $11 million. I'd imagine the franchise tag for CBs to be around that number.

So right now, franchising him would be essentially picking up the 4th year option again.

I'd still do it and not hand him a big contract.

edit- looks like the 2015 franchise tag number for CBs was around $13 million.

The 2015 number for CBs with a franchise tag was estimated right at $13M I believe. (I think it was $11.8M in 2014, which makes 2015's about a 10% increase) That would suggest a $14.3M cap for 2016 for CBs.

That's fine. But you said that there was nothing to take from this. He's healthy and he's playing well. We're not asking you to pay money for him or trust him. There is something to take away from a guy who's held his own against ODB and Julio. If it was Byron Jones guys would go bizerck.

 

[rd26]

If Mo has a good year, or even first half, I would like yo see something like 3 years 15 mil with games played and other incentives that could push him closer to 7.5 per year.

If that won't get him signed, move on along.

I could go 2 for 5 against Nolan Ryan in a game. That would give me a .400 batting average against a legend. The question is, could I go 2 for 5 over 10 or 20 games against Nolan Ryan. Most likely I couldn't. This is why I said a three game sample size just isn't enough to draw any real conclusions. He has had good games before. He has had terrible season after terrible season.

Fool me once, shame on him. Fool me twice, shame on me. I will not be fooled. He will put up for the whole season, or I'm not interested. Jolly *** blowing rainbows be damned.
