I didn't want to hijack the other thread so I'll start the discussion here:
In 11 out of 14 games, the Jets' opponent's top receiver either got 80+ yards receiving or a touchdown; in most cases it was both. Revis also allowed 100+ yard receiving games a few times this year. I know the name and reputation, but I didn't see production this year. Have you seen something else watching every Jets game?
EDIT: 14 games in which he has played
Honestly, those stats are pretty meaningless when it comes to Revis. The notion that he tracks the other team's top receiver every game is false. Revis hasn't moved around the field at all during the year. If hypothetically, the Colts moved Reggie Wayne into the slot, you would have seen someone else covering him and Revis would be on whoever lined up on the outside.
All year long, the only blown coverage with Revis I remember was the first Patriots game where Moss took one deep. Revis happened to injure his hamstring on that very same play which is probably why he got caught so far behind Moss.
I've been watching the Jets for many years now, and honestly I have never seen a guy like Darrelle. I don't watch Nnamdi or Woodson regularly, so I can't really comment on whose better.. but to my understanding they are all elite.
The thing with Darrelle is that there just aren't any flaws to his game. He is excellent in deep coverage, excellent in short coverage, excellent tackler, excellent hands if a ball is pickable, can stop the run, hard to block. The guy is just a phenomenal football player.
His pick stats are low, but consider that he almost never gets thrown to because he is usually airtight on the receiver. QBs don't avoid him because of the name, they avoid him because the guy he's covering is not open.
