He was good in college and was a Texas prospect no different than Derrick Johnson or Jamaal Charles. And people think both of those guys are some of the best at their position. If you take off the Chiefs homer glasses, the guy is the better player.

When Earl Thomas first got to Seattle they were TERRIBLE and he carried that crappy defense his rookie season. He was playing next to a washed up Lawyer Milloy, an old Marcus Trufant, a bunch of other nobodies. Lofa Tatupu, Aaron Curry and David Hawthorne were the LBers. Absolute bums.

He was literally the only good player on defense for them that year.

No. I am not saying that Earl Thomas is only good because of coaching scheme.

I am saying that Berry, in a role that allowed him to take advantage of his ability and talent would be viewed as equal, at the least.

I would also say that if their roles were reversed, there is no way that Earl Thomas performs at the evel that Berry has.
