Didn't know the Bengals were tied for 3rd in the NFL in passes per attempt with a mere 6.2 YPA.
Nor that they allowed only 18 passing TDs, 2nd in the NFL.
Or that they allowed a 78.9 QB rating this season, ranking them 5th in the NFL, only .1 behind the Broncos.
Or that Kirkpatrick had 16 pass break ups, which led the team. Also that ranked him tied for 11th in the NFL.

I get it, you're going by Profootball Focus rankings. But they literally have no stats or anything to help support that. Even with memberships.
They don't have completion percentages against defensive backs. They don't have contested catches percentages. They don't have touchdowns allowed. They have penalties though, so that's good.

Profootball Focus has gone downhill lately.

Also, if Kirkpatrick was really THAT bad, do you think any of those 4 stats would be the way they are?

PFF isn't the end all be all, but..

-3rd in penalties in the entire NFL (all positions)
-2nd in missed tackles (among CBs)
-11th in YAC allowed (among CBs)
-2nd most targeted CB yet 0 INT
-0 INT!!!

So....
Can he play disciplined: Nope
Can he tackle: Nope
Can he catch: Nope
Can he keep players in front of him: Nope
Do other teams want to pick on him: Yep

There's no way you can honestly call Kirkpatrick a good CB. The dude has been having people make excuses for him for four years about how he's been a "rookie"... and yet he still stinks. Dude is going to retire at the age of 32 or something and people will be like "oh, well he's basically a rookie, so you need to take that into account and give him a break."
