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.
