Do you want the guy who stops the most passes or a guy who they don't even throw near? I think Dee is great, but is it better to lead the country in that stat, when other CBs may not have as many defended because QBs don't throw their way?
it's true that this stats don't matter as much for a corner. The most telling stat would be passes completed against relative to pass attempts against.
Having said that, i'm sure milliner is up there if not better than banks in that stat as well. What will get him drafted higher is that he is an elite cover guy with better measurables than banks.
Personally, i'd rather the QB throw it at my corner that's going to get a hand on it than not throw it at him period. More of an opportunity for tipped balls and interceptions

Open mouth, insert foot.
In what measurable is he allegedly superior?

Banks is taller and likely faster so better measurables? No, the entire argument is based off of Milliner's passes defended which is why I keep stating that nobody throws at Banks. If you want to go percentage of attempted passes completed I would like to see that as its a very important stat. I do know that very few balls get by Banks, and he has 3 picks on the season which isn't even the most by a player on our team. I am interested to see how Bama responds this weekend because I do think UT is a good passing team. Keep in mind that I am not saying Milliner isn't a great back, I just think banks is better.
