My issue with Davis last year was his consistency.  He would have an incredible game one week, then be trailing receivers the next.  So far this year, he has consistently been playing well.  Grigs traded a 2nd round pick for what has become arguably the top CB in football.  That's a steal!

He will never be in the talks for best corner in the game, not because of his ability, but because of his lack of interceptions due to scheme, and the fact that he doesn't shoot off at the mouth every week about how shutdown he is. He doesn't get on Twitter and get into feuds with Patrick Peterson or go on First Take to tell Skip Bayless that he's better at life. He just goes out there, shuts his man down with zero safety help, and goes home. Glad to have him here.

Sherman isn't the best because of his off the field habits. His play speaks for itself.

Honestly im totally fine with him going under the radar. He doesnt need all the media nonsense that Sherman pulls. And hey he could get more interceptions if anyone tries to go against him deep like Bortles did.

He needs a clever nickname ASAP

Vontae "Shadow" Davis

Vontae "Copy Cat" Davis

Vontae "The Warden" Davis

Vontae "Masterlock" Davis

Vontae "Forgot your #1 WR was here" Davis

Or if none of those work, we can just go with our very own Mods name "21IsSuperman"

Vontae "Superman" Davis

:clap:

I won't argue on Sherman, he is the best Cover 3 corner in the game. My point was more in reference to guys like Peterson and Haden who the media regularly praises based on draft status, name value, or some other arbitrary value.

Pretty sure you literally called out Sherman with your examples you used in your other post.

New nickname for Vontae, "The guy who refers to Peyton Manning as Tom Brady".

 

Vontae's World

 

Vontae's Cliff - Where receivers are forgotten.

 

Vontae's Corner

 

21 Shutdown Street

 

I am not that good at this nickname stuff, but if he shuts you down for more than 4 hours then call a doctor.

Told you all it would start to become national news soon. They will all be talking about him soon.

 

IndyStar had jumped on board as well:

I honestly believe Davis, Toler, and Butler is a top CB team right now! I always get called a homer for saying that lol. Especially living in the Seattle where its all about the LOB :/.They are definitely the strength of the defense right before the DL.

I think we are close. The only team I would put above us is Arizona. In my mind Arizona has the best secondary (not just corners) in the NFL. Seattle gets all of the recognition because they ask for it.

Yeah i agree. We need some good safties ro compete with Arizona and Seattle. Cromartie, Peterson, Mathieu, and Buccannon are a dangerous team.

Seattle acquired their nickel corner from us (Burley). He probably would have made the roster, but he wouldn't have played over Butler. This is more a statement about Butler, Burley is a talented player.

We have arguably more depth and talent at corner then they do, they're just VASTLY better at safety to make up for it.

He played injured a lot last season.

Exactly. Adams is average while Landry is probably below average.

    • I got mad the night they took Dorsett and I still get mad when I think about it.  Look at all the good players he passed on for him.  I wanted Xavier Rhodes in that draft and they could have had him.  No single first round draft pick upsets me as much as Phillip freaking Dorsett.
    • Grigson didn’t hit on another high draft pick until Ryan Kelly after Hilton.  Just goes to speak about how good Andrew Luck was that those teams were as good as they were until Luck literally feel apart from carrying the team on his shoulders.  
    • Irsay or no other pro-sports owner is strapped for cash.  Look at the lifestyles they live.  These guys are swimming in money Scrooge McDuck style.  They like to get you to think that they are so that they have to pay for less things like the a new stadium and give them friendly tax breaks but they aren’t.  These guys are super rich even the small market teams like the Colts.  If you want to think they are strapped for cash go a head but we are going to agree to disagree.  
    • I agree. I cannot recall who else he drafted in 2015 but I could not understand why he drafted the WR out of Miami at #29 that year.
    • If I may….    I’ll share some information that I’ve had for about 4 months.   It may or may not surprise you.  This is what I tried to send you the other night but somehow screwed up.      These are the big signing bonuses the Colts have given out over the years when the players 2nd contract came around:  this is from Spotrac.    Nelson:   $31m Leonard:  $20m Smith:      $15m Taylor:      $10.24m Stewart:    $5m      BUT…..    I also found this….   *** When Ballard signed Buckner to 4/84 his SB was 0. *** When Ballard signed Kelly to 4/50 his signing bonus was 0. *** When Ballard signed Moore to 4/33 his signing bonus was 0.  *** When Ballard signed MAC to 3/19 his SB was 0.    To be clear, no agent lets their client sign a deal like this out of the goodness of their heart to help the team.  I think it stands to reason they get something in return.  And I think it’s a higher amount of guaranteed money.  That’s money the player would get even if the team cut the player before the contract was done.   Guaranteeing a higher percentage of money doesn’t cost the Colts anything if the team is confident the player will be in the roster for the life of the contract.    I view this as a sign of a small market team.   The Colts wanted to do this.  It’s to their advantage.  I’m not blaming the Colts for doing this, I think it’s smart business.  But I think it’s a sign that from time to time, Irsay needs a little help so he doesn’t have to write a large check.     This is my view.   I welcome input from all.    @w87r   @Superman  @GoColts8818
