[QUOTE=BaseballMan;2819500]Your reaching there.I dont know where you got the 29 from but i have also seen 25 listed. I just quoted the wikipedia article.
Routt was not a starter but i dont know about Gay.
When your a starter and the other teams refuses to pass to your side that says a lot. If it was just because nobody was passing to his side then im sure a coach would have taken a chance and he would be challenged. But they dont throw at him because they know he is the best.

Bailey is good but i dont see coaches refusing to pass to his side. Even when he was in his prime.
There were dozens of games where Bailey was hardly tested, in his prime and otherwise. Still, that stat is contibuted to by many other things. If you're a crappy team, and always down by three touchdowns (read: Oakland Raiders) why should teams even bother passing in the second half? Also, for teams with 2 or 3 good receivers.. why test CB1 with WR1 when you can just as easily test a significantly worse corner with a WR nearly as good?

Aso held Steve Smith to the worst game of his career and other receivers didnt fare much better.
Perhaps citing where Jake Delhomme decides to throw the ball isn't the best support to your argument. He chooses to throw it to opposing players frequently. =)

You can argue if JRuss is a bust and you may or may not be right but to try and denie that Aso is the best db in the league right now is well laughable.
I'm not saying Russell is a bust. It's too early to tell. He was mentioned as a good QB earlier in the thread - which is, as you would say, laughable.

Oh, and I've never thought Aso was the undisputed #1 corner in the league. Corey Webster provides a very good challenge - did you see Santana Moss today? Revis is also amazing. There has only been one corner I've ever been able to unquestionably call the best in the league, and he couldn't even tackle. Oh, and his name wasn't Roland.
