Good corner. For what they have up to moved up and get him his ball skills and ability to make QBs pay hasn't been what you'd expect. He is sticky in coverage tho.

I don't know, having a corner that can stick to a WR as well as he can is pretty rare. I don't think I'd care if he doesn't get a lot of flashy plays if he can reliably keep a player covered. That's worth a mint in the NFL today.

I've seen SP and Drew talk about it enough and I could find a quote I would. A sticky CB is good but the great CBs have ball skills and don't just bat the ball down they make a play on the ball.

QBs will avoid going to a guy who makes those plays they will still throw at Trufant because at worst it an incomplete pass. The truly elite CBs at worst it's 6 points the other way. I stand by my opinion..he's good not great
 
They also lost Clayborn for at least a month.

And Panthers also just lost their Center and backup Center.
 
I wish him to get well soon. They will miss him, great corners are rare to find.
 
Glad it's only going to keep him out for the remainder of the season instead of a career ending injury.

I don't wish injury on anyone, but with the injuries we have dealt with this year, I also don't feel sorry for teams having to play without some of their best players when facing us since we had to do a lot of that already this year.
