? no way. he's a free agent after and he's going to make a killing this off-season.
Talib covers the number one WR and tight ends and literally shuts down the other teams best offensive player most games.
There's a general consensus on how you can evaluate a good corner and that's how the defensive coach plays him.
If you're good, ie. richard sherman, peterson, revis (before he got injured), you don't get any safety help and they put you all alone with the other teams best receiver. Talib plays man coverage with no safety help all the time.
go watch the patriots/ saints game. chris colinsworth basically says he thinks Talib is one of the best corners in the league, he was assigned to play jimmy graham all game and I believe he held jimmy graham to no catches in that game.
plus I think he was on All-Pro 2nd team this year, a recognition that's not a popularity contest that's voted by fans like the pro-bowl.
after reading some of the posts in this thread, im kinda shocked at the amount of misinformation and horrible info spewed out regarding football.
average at best? Now I remember why I don't frequent the revscene nfl thread for a reason.
PS I played DB in highschool so I pay close attention to my corners.
