1 - This is a strong corner division
2 - He is very much in a battle for the top spot with Richard Sherman. Neither have as well rounded a game as Finnegan, but Finnegan is a slot corner, who struggles when bigger corners ignore his niggling tacitcs. Struggled with Andre Johnson a lot over the years.
3 - None of the 49ers CB's are as good as Sherman/Peterson.
4 - Peterson is at worst the 2nd best CB in the division.

You're forgetting Brandon Browner. He was outstanding last year but I haven't watched him much this season.

Not forgetting, just know that he can be beat, even last seaon he got beat a fair amount. He is a good ball player and is very good at making plays on the football, but as a pure cover man he struggles at times.

| Call me crazy but if I had to pick between the 3 of them TODAY I would still take PP. This defense has improved leaps and bounds since he has been here. I don't believe that's a coincidence. Sacks are a sexy stat but I would like to see how these guys do against the run and how their all round game is. I know Aldon Smith and Von Miller were pulled in running situations last season. |

Elite pass rusher vs elite corner is always a good argument. It's like DeMarcus Ware vs Darrelle Revis. There isn't a wrong answer... However, PP is far from elite and Miller/Smith are dominant in their second season so I'd go with them. My answer could be different in 2 years.

I think he is considered elite. He has had some rough games no doubt but all ways round, even with being left on an island he has been top notch. |

Corner play has gone downhill because of the rules and offenses throwing 40 times a game. The only corner i'd consider truly elite in today's NFL is Revis. Nobody else is close IMO.

Once again, I disagree.

There is not a worse place for a receiver than Revis Island. He's so far ahead of the pack there's no clear #2. I'm all ears if you think there is. Certainly not Scrabble anymore...

One could make an argument that Brent Grimes is the 2nd best.
This doesn't matter though now that Revis tore his ACL. He is going to have to re-establish himself as the premier shutdown corner in the NFL.

That's my point. There's no clear #2... ACL tears aren't what they used to be. Luckily for him it was early in the season.

From what I have seen this year there are three corners playing a notch above every other corner in coverage this season and only two of those guys are matching up consistently with #1 receivers. Those two are Richard Sherman and Patrick Peterson. Tim Jennings is having an outstanding year in coverage, but is not getting the tough matchups that have been seen by the other two.

Don't expect the same Revis in 2013. Revis Island will be closed. By 2014 he could be back, but for a position that relies heavily on being able to make quick reads and cuts, he'll have his work cut out to get back to pre-injury form. This opens up the discussion for the best corner in the game right now.
