Kirkpatrick is going to have some growing pains. We all know this. Young CBs need playing time or else they're going to be rusty. This is essentially his first full season.
Every rookie CB and young CB struggles transitioning to the NFL. Look at Patrick Peterson, he struggled tremendously first off. It took him time and he splash plays, but he still struggled. Just like Kirkpatrick. He has made some splash plays but also some bad ones.
No one is talking about Adam Jones missing that tackle on Steve Smith on 4th down that became a TD. Sure, Kirkpatrick struggles with double moves and is a much better man corner, but he is still a promising player and has shown some good plays this year. Give him some time.
