How do you explain the fact that 5 of the top 8 CBs in penalties were Pro Bowl picks, and 2 of them were First Team All Pro. Seems to me that a high number of penalties indicates that a CB is among the very best at his position in the leagu.

2nd Aquib Talib....Pro Bowl last 3 straight years
5th Richard Sherman...First Team All Pro 3 times. Pro Bowl last 4 straight years.
5th Marcus Peters....Pro Bowl this year.
7th Josh Norman.... First Team All Pro this year
7th Vontae Davis... Pro Bowl last two years
The link you are going to is showing their PLAYOFF games as well. The link I provided showed regular season. Not really fair to go into the playoffs because different guys have a different amount of games.

Fred,
I know I bust your balls hard on here sometimes, but whether I agree or disagree I always respect what you say and respect the links or stats you bring up enough to investigate them myself thoroughly and thoughtfully rather than combatively. I'm interested in getting right rather than just being right.
