This week New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie offered his opinion on Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman.

“Do I believe he’s a product of the system? I’ve said it before I believe he is. Everyone wants to get mad at me because I say if he didn’t have such and such players, having [Earl] Thomas and having the other safety that is back there – you have two All-Pro safeties and they only play two coverages, Cover 2 and Cover 1.

“He does what he does in that system and that’s what makes him the best at what he does at times in that system. You can’t fault him for that. It’s the system he plays in and he plays it to the best of his ability” Cromartie said.

Now everyone is comparing Sherman and Darrelle Revis, but who is better?

Why Darrelle Revis is Better

Revis is a one on one lockdown cornerback, similar to Deion Sanders. He doesn't rely on the system like Sherman does, and he doesn't require help over top from safeties. Revis simply guards the offenses best wide receiver night in and night out.

Sometime Revis allows nothing, and sometime he will give up a touchdown, but the point is, Revis always covers the best players. Revis, unlike Sherman, will go anywhere on the field to play opposite of the best receiver. Revis doesn't have similar interception statistics to Sherman, possibly because quarterbacks just don't throw his way nearly as often.

Revis also had the last laugh in the 2015 Super Bowl.

Why Richard Sherman is Better

Sherman puts up the best numbers of any cornerback. He talks the talk, and he walks the walk on the field. Sherman has recorded 24 interceptions in his 64 games, compared to Revis' 23 interceptions in 111 games played.

Fans and players will make the argument that Sherman is a "product of the system," and he benefits from others. However, those people have to watch the games. Sherman may have a lot of help, but he gives up fewer big plays, receptions, and touchdowns against. Sure Revis has a bigger responsibility one on one at all times, but he gives up more yards and catches than Sherman does.

Aaron Rodgers was terrified to throw towards Sherman's side of the field last season. Sherman has routinely guarded elite wide receivers, and far more often than not, he's shut them down.
