Whose fault would it be santa claus. Of course it was Kirkpatricks fault. You cherry pick stats to make Kirpatrick look better than he was.
Using vague statements like stats I could find. Well a lot of us can select stats that we claim are the only ones we can find to make a biased one sided argument. You have chosen once again to cherry pick your stats.
His stats were inflated because he usually didnt cover the top corner. What were his yards allowed after the catch. What about his run defense. We know hes not the best tackler. How many td's did he give up. How many interceptions did he get. How many fumbles did he cause. What was the opposing qb's rating against him.
Let's use steelers last years weapons. If a guy like Kirkpatrick is covering the second option at wide out that means the QB has gone through his progressions before he targets the guy Kirkpatrick is covering. So say he looks at Antonio brown covered, then he looks at heath miller covered, then he finally targets wheaten for a throw. By that time he's getting pressured and throwing off his back foot. Of course Kirkpatrick is going to have a better chance to stop that play.
Furthermore, if a guy gives up 12 of 20 passes its worse than 4 of 5. That's because the corner giving up 12 of 20 was being being picked on because his guy was uncovered 20 times. The other guy had his guy covered most of the time and only was targeted 5 times. So quantity of targets as well as percentage of passes completed when targeted is needed.
The best corner is 0 out of 0. Thats because his guy was never open for a pass.
On top of that how many pass interference or holding calls did Kirkpatrick get. Thats usually indicative of a corner getting beat off the snap. You grab the guy down field to prevent a catch.
If I win the lottery I'll spend half the money on alcohol, gambling and wild women. The other half I'll waste.
