Yes.

ROFL Arenas was trash then in 12' they tried to have him play outside and was scorched earth.

Well, yeah. Our entire team was trash in 2012.

Arenas never had the size or speed to play on the outside anyway. He was quick which is why he was decent in the slot and a good returner but could never make any house calls.

Was it possible to have a bad day against Fitzpatrick and Carr last week? Carr couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat last week. He had a historically bad game. You could have been at corner and held your WR to what Nelson held his WRs to.

Yeah other than that game against the Chargers I don't remember him taking 1 to the house. It was a terrible 2nd round pick but atleast we got a nice piece for him.even though Sherman is useless now.

Why wouldn't you assume that?

No ****ing way.

Are you joking?

Some of you guys are ****ing hilarious comparing Steven Nelson to Javier Arenas. Nelson is easily better.

Nelson is a first year starter and has 14 passes defended and has saved 2 TD's. He's not as bad as many of you guys are saying ROFL

Give the kid time. Look at Dee Ford and how he changed from early in his career to now.

ROFL Nelson sucked last year due to minimal reps. He's now been our second best corner. He's pretty ****ing good. IMO

He really is. He's been burned a couple times but he's usually in the receiver's back pocket.

Corners get burned at times. It's just their position and how great some of these WRs are.

We're going to fix the problem the Dorsey way. Bring in a bunch of dudes and have them compete. Mitchell will be one of those possible options, probably against a rookie or two.

Just because Marcus Cooper looked great his first 4-5 games for us doesn't mean Mitchell is Marcus Cooper, though

Terrance Mitchell has outplayed Nelson the last 2 weeks and Nelson has been pretty good.

Its intriguing but I bet Mitchell reverts to his mean.

Biggest miss: You could say cornerback Sean Smith, who got a four-year, $38 million deal with $20 million guaranteed last spring, should be here, considering Smith got benched in his first game with the Raiders. Plus, as PFF noted, Smith’s passer rating allowed on throws into his coverage of 111.5 was the highest of all cornerbacks who played at least 75 percent of their team’s snaps. And the seven touchdowns allowed and 17.7 yards per catch average was also a league high for those corners.

Bring him back
