Is It Just Me Or Is Stephon Gilmore Just Average At Best

[CaptSS]

PFF grades him at 70.9 Targeted 60 times and 30 receptions against him. NFL stats show 9 passes defended for the year. He lines up so far off the ball I feel receivers have a good chance at receptions. Every game once or twice I tell my wife "watch, #21 will blow this for Dallas" - and he does. Obviously he used to be a premier CB and I have no idea how he performs during the week in practice or when the game cameras don't show him on a play. Am I kinda clueless here?

Yup he is. Gilmore is a reason i was iffy on signing shaq leonard. Colts aren’t getting rid of these players to "go younger". Colts traded him to us for peanuts because they knew he was declining.

That being said, I'm glad he's on the team because I'm terrified of who'd be starting in his place if he wasn't here.

 

[Carson]

lol. He is the reason DK didn’t do anything the second half last week.

 

[The Quest for Six]

He's lost a step no doubt and is suspect on crossing routes trying to keep up to the receiver

 

[cwbyfan72]

Slightly above average. Vet leader. Well needed

 

[stilltheguru]

70 grade is above average

 

[CATCH17]

He’s a top 15-20 NFL corner still.

It’s just you.

Facts. Quinn had him travel with Metcalf in the 2nd half and that’s why he didn’t do anything

see i think these guys are mistaking average for just good... of course he's a shell of his old MVP all pro self, of course he's a shell of his old MVP all pro self,

. No one gets better in their twilight years, hes better then brown or Lewis and if he wasn't here after TD went down, we would be the eagles backend LOL being good or what some call average isnt negative but starting a thread to debate it is well........ anyone remember when brown and lewis went down last year..ouch.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

He's not prime Gilmore anymore but he's still a well above average starting corner. We are so lucky to have him especially with Diggs going down before week three.

See, that's why I say maybe I am clueless when I don't see what he does off camera. I have no problem admitting if I am wrong.

OP is one of those fans that thinks the defense should give up 0 passing yards and 0 rushing yards every single game.

 

[viman96]

If Gilmore is average then that really says a lot about Brown last year. The #2 CB position is much improved from last season.

 

[BlueStar22]

You mean the Stefon Gilmore who quieted DK Metcalf when he switched on to him after Bland was toast? Yall really don't be watching the games. I'm sure he'll be on AJ Brown tomorrow. He covers big receivers better. I implore yall to follow Voch Lombardi, A to Z Sports with Will Steele, Akoye Media, LawNation, BossCowboy Sports on youtube and learn something. We have the best content creators in the NFL that do more than just watch they games. Follow them and learn something.

They really don't be watching these games.

Yeah...no. But you be you.

no different than thinking a QB should have single bad throw or T/O and throw for 350 every game or hes trash LOL

It’s just you.

Besides, do we have better options? (lol)

Pretty much. These people are nuts we are lucky he’s here.

So what do you think? He shouldn’t give up any catches? What’s your standard?
