Villain The Foe Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I loved both of these guys, but this comparison actually came to me yesterday after hearing some praise about Patrick Peterson, so I figured I'd ask the folks here who they think was the better CB. Both are 1st ballot for sure, and I know that there will be some "Mevi$" hate given how he handled his business like a shrewd professional but also crashed and burned at the end. But putting the personals aside, as a cornerback, who would you pick to cover the #1 on your team for a decade? Let me put up some stats. Revis: 7× Pro Bowl (2008–2011, 2013–2015) 4× First-team All-Pro (2009–2011, 2014) PFWA All-Rookie Team (2007) Total tackles:497 Sacks:2.0 Interceptions:29 Forced fumbles:6 Pass deflections:140 Defensive touchdowns:3 Peterson: 8× Pro Bowl (2011–2018) 3× First-team All-Pro (2011, 2013, 2015) Total tackles:385 Pass deflections:76 Interceptions:23 Forced fumbles:1 Fumble recoveries:3 Total touchdowns:5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop24 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 At there best it’s Revis by a good margin. But he flamed out to fast wouldn’t surprise me if Peterson ends up with the better career numbers wise long term . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, I have no problem saying Darrelle Revis is the best corner I have ever seen play the game. When Revis was at his best there was no WR in the game that could exploit him. The who's who of very best WR's in the game from 2009-2011 that Revis rendered useless is staggering. Better than anyone I've ever seen, including Deion.

UntouchableCrew Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Revis in his prime was easily better and more dominant than Peterson ever was. Peterson is probably a better overall athlete (great return man) and is going to be "good" for longer most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viermoo Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Revise is simply the best cornerback to ever play the game. He completely shut down some of the greatest WRs to ever play the game... and yes he was better than Deion as well. A much more complete CB. Peterson shouldn’t even be the comparison.
