Agree. Had he had a far better reg. season along with a couple INT's that he had in his hands (1-2 for pick 6's) we may not
be having this conversation, although, he's really just playing for the correct franchise that feels like they warrant paying a S that type of $.
James has also just one of those WOW players that just steals headlines. Huge hitter that gets lined up
everywhere on the field and ESPN/NFL Network run features on him and just run with it. Bates was/is just the model of consistency most years
who doesn't flare up in the front of the camera. The brand is what it is.
