Who's better, and why?

Exactly why I said it was PART of what you look at to judge a CB. I thought it was pretty clear when I had it in caps...

Anyway, we were a historically bad defense last season, and our CB’s dropping like 37 balls were a factor in that. Only team in the league without 1 single int from any starting CB. I don’t see why it’s controversial to criticize that.
