I think the reason (at least for me) that people are a touch down on him is that a lot of us wanted Gonzalez and so far Gonzalez has looked like a star and the cornerstone of the defense in New England. And he has the size too. Forbes has some great traits and I am hopeful he will be pretty good. But will he ever be able to handle the big physical receivers? I'm not convinced.
For the record Gonzalez is done for the season

Yeah but it has only been 4 games if Devonta Smith can handle physical corners I dont see why Forbes cant do the opposite and could be worse the Texans took Stingley over Sauce

Sauce is the man. Haven稚 paid enough attention to the Texans. Seems like Houston made the wrong choice, but the Jets are loaded with talent around Sauce. Texans not so much. If you switched them Stingley might very well be the man. [emoji2371]

Is that not suggesting his issue is with the deep routes, near 20 ypc? Or is it that there are a few real big plays skewing the average? Is he trying to get picks/big plays at the expense of shutting his man down?
I honestly think all the pick 6 big play got to him and he is trying too hard to make the big play.

that means nothing to the conversation . . . he wouldn't have been in that place and time had he been on this team, so the injury wouldn't have occurred . . . another may have, who knows . . . but from a skill standpoint he has far exceeded Forbes to this point and has the size/strength to compete against the big WR's which is my concern with Forbes.

Forbes will be just fine, he値l gain weight during the offseason. The kid has heart and is competitive, getting burned pissed him off. He値l bounce back and be great. I知 not worried.

ok....but he is literally not playing and Forbes still is
plus we have a sample size of 4 games and Forbes, barring a injury, has his entire rookie season to learn, Gonzalez will be home trying to get better

Forbes needs to live in the weight room in the off season. There is little chance that he can be an effective NFL corner playing at his size.

He痴 not the first or last to get roasted, he値l get the last laugh when we play Philly again. People here are impatient, look at Howell after the Bills, he sucks!! Start JB, fucking non-sense.
I think almost every knew Sam was going to have some bad games. Unless he goes off the rails no one wants to see Brissett.
Look around the league, every QB has bad games. Mahomes didn't play well last week. Lamar Jackson has got off to a slow start. These are two NFL MVP's.
