Did you know that yardage stat is also meaningless if he’s only covering slot receivers across the middle on short dumpoffs and screens out of the backfield.
I’m not saying he isn’t or can’t be good. I’m saying context for these stats matter.
We can discuss their value if you want, but they are not "meaningless".
For example a lot of people rave about Dennard, but he was targeted on shorter passes (8.1 avg dist) than Shaw (11.4) last year. In '16 the average distance on Shaw's targets (10.1) was greater than Pac (9.7) and almost the same as Kirkpatrick (10.9).
When you look at the players at the top of these lists it is obvious that the stats are not "meaningless" the best CBs generally rank near the top. I never claimed they were perfect, but they at least are more than just the opinion of amateurs around here.
