Every person I've ever talked to that has some insight into him, thinks he was immature when he came in the league and has since grown up. We might have made a great signing.
Or not.
We'll see.
I don't believe in ranking football players across the league.
I believe a football player can really only be compared to his teammates at the same position, since they're in the same system for the same coaches, are surrounded by the same teammates, play in the same conditions, etc.
If Cromartie is a great fit and makes a positive impact on the Giants defense, I'll be happy. As for how he may or may not compare to cornerbacks on other teams, I'll leave that for sports radio stations and websites to ramble on about.
the D-line, I wonder if they will now have that extra half second to get there now that we have some solid guys in the backfield? Whether or not DRC is 7th best, he's still damned good and a solid and big upgrade. And along with Thurmond...
...who isn't curious to see if the Stevie Brown interception machine wasn't a one-season fluke?
Agree with the sentiment here - I've been a fan since Carter was President - hands-down, most talented group of CB's this team has fielded in my years. And FWIW, I prefer great CB's over great DE's.
from the coaches about him in OTAs ... granted they are OTAs but some comments were made suggesting the Giants will put in some defensive coverages taking advantage of his press coverage abilities that we've not been able to do before ...

I hope we can muster up some D-line pressure and let these guys live up to their potential...
Like when Rolle first arrived, there were concerns but I think he'll turn out to be a great addition.

and as Dorgan says ...
