3 picks in 3 games. 4 in the last 6 games he’s played going back to last year.

Soooo, is he still “washed up”? Should we trade him now since we drafted Noah Iggybabaganoush? Byron Jones is better than X right?

F that. X is our best defensive player period. Had been for the last 3 years. He got hurt. He came back. All he does is pick off passes. If you don’t want to spend so much on the CB position, it’s Jones who you trade next year (though I hope we can keep both).

This guy is special and he’s not even 100% yet.
 
People always want to discredit guys who get a lot of turnovers...fact of the matter is some guys just know how to get them. They find themselves in the right position just because, but on top of that they simply execute. So many defenders don't see the ball, or drop the ball when it's there to be found. Some guys are hungry for that ball and rarely let it slip away. X had a chance to intercept Allen late against the Bills , but for the most part he doesn't miss them.

Getting a ton of turnovers in the secondary doesn't mean you are the guy on the team with the most consistent coverage, but teams that don't have a player or two like X who can generate turnovers rarely get past the mediocre stage. Turnovers have such huge consequences and such a strong correlation to winning, plus with the way that the rules favor offense, it gets really hard to stop comeback attempts if you a QB can throw against your secondary all day without a guy there they need to be afraid of. When given 4 downs, no QB is that afraid of an incompletion.
 
X had another one early on his hands but that would have been a spectacular one.

Come on, that pick he got was on an overthrown ball. He made a nice play and got good yards afterwards. But, he's not a better CB than Byron Jones.

He made the play...stop trying to take that away from him.

He's made the play since 2017-2018 and leds the league.

Are you going to take those away form him too?...irrc 15-17 INTs..
 
The issue is the money he gets paid. Folks act like they are paying guys out of their own pockets. Fans are also like 3 or 4 years behind market value when it comes to the NFL salary cap. People hear the numbers and expect him to get beat 0 times. Just the way it is. Everyone wants a good but really cheap team.
 
While I don't think he's washed up I don't think judging CB's by the amount of INTs they get is practical. Revis had an All Pro year in 2013 and had 0 ints. Nnamdi Asomugha 3 year run of dominance with the Raiders garnered only 2 INTs. X is a great playmaker though.

And in today’s NFL there is no such thing as a shut down corner. Every CB is going to her beat in today’s game. Didn’t one of our own WRs abuse Gilmore? If picking off 15-17 passes in about 25 games isn’t good enough I don’t know what is.
