Every time I've watched the Cowboys this year Daron Bland has been picked on constantly and looked like complete garbage. I've always said INT numbers are absolutely no way to grade a CB.

It should be noted who the picks were against. Were they all against below average QBs?

No sure, but tbh it's usually the case that the guy with the big INT numbers is the weaker of the two outside CB's, because you can't pick the ball off if nobody bothers throwing it in your direction.

Wasn’t there a ridiculous stat a few years back where Richard Sherman had multiple games where he wasn’t thrown at?

Similar to Diggs in 2021. Stats aren’t good for grading DBs most of the time in my opinion because it’s not up to them if they’re targeted. If a QB avoids a good corner all game, it looks like he’s had a bad game when he’s actually made a huge impact.

This is great fun.

This is slightly tempered by the fact that the 49ers would be hosting the Packers next week, who's confidence will be sky high if they keep this up.

Great example of this was the Chargers teams with Antonio Cromartie on one side and Quentin Jammer on the other. There was a 3-4 year period in the middle of his career where Jammer was playing at true shut-down level, but Cromartie got all the press because he'd regularly get beat then use his athleticism to get back and pick the ball off. Jammer used to average about 1 pick per year, but that was because opponents always threw at the guy on the other side of the field.
