Who's better that's proven? Janzen Jackson would be the only one I can think of.

In run support there are non better than Barron. He does have a lot of int's but imo he gets beat deep to often when the front 7 doesn't get pressure.

Neiko for the win

Can you name one better?

Janzen Jackson and Brandon Taylor are the best in coverage and Barron the best against the run with Reid closing in behind him as a run stopper. Janzen is probably the best overall but he has had issues every year

It's clearly Tramain Thomas

Janzen > Barron
Barron gets beat for big plays on the reg

Actually, I will back the Gumps on this. Barron was all over the field against LSU. I watched that game several times. In fact, ran down RS from behind in an open foot-race and damn near caught RR on his TD run. In addition, the only bad play I saw that he made the entire game was getting owned by Jordan Jefferson on the Deangelo Peterson sweep. I actually lol'd when I saw that.
Anyway, Barron is as solid as they come. He'll have some competition from Reid and others but he's my front runner for now.

Gotta remember he played with a green secondary last season.

I do. and to the guy who said Brandon Taylor is a good cover safety.........
I think Taylor is decent. I think Reid is awesome and is much more instinctive. But Barron is dope. Reid or Janzen might end up having a better year but Barron is definitely the best right now.

Barron is shitty - no good at all and shouldn't even be attempting to play ball in the SEC.

Barron was regarded as one of the top 2 safeties in this past draft class if he declared, a bet it was a very weak one.
He's a typical NFL SS, but that position doesn't exist in Saban's 34. Both safeties have to know the jobs of each safety position and are flipped between the 2 roles frequently.
He's never gonna be a safety you leave 1-on-1 in man against WRs and shut them down, but he's definitely a future starter in the NFL at SS. Good in support, plays well over the top, and has good ball skills. He just needs to watch the fake...

How bout you tell us what YOU really think when he plays y'all healthy and with an experienced secondary and front 7 playing around him. When he isnt having to try to pick up everyone else's slack, I think you will change your tune somewhat.
