This post makes absolutely no sense and it's painfully obvious you don't watch the Seahawks. I just don't get why trolls come on here and try to make ridiculous claims. At worst Maxwell is a top 15ish CB in the NFL.
:lol: FWIW the Hawks are one of the teams for whom I watch every game (including pre-season). I do this with four or five teams a year, and have been doing so with the Hawks for awhile now (partially b/c they're rivals with the 9ers, but mostly because I like a lot of their players and I enjoy the brand of football they play).
If you seriously believe that "at worst Maxwell is a top 15 CB in the NFL" there's no point in me trying to dissuade you, but we simply disagree. That's it.

So you're only saying he is marginal because Sherm, ET and Kam make him look better.
No, that's not the only thing I'm saying. You've cherry picked one thing I said in response to Uncle Si after he brought up the topic of the rest of the Hawks' secondary.

Ummm...do you not get that Maxwell gets the ball thrown to his side because teams avoid the other 3...maxwell is constantly covering teams #1 WRs and knows the ball is most likely coming his way. That doesn't make him "really overrated" it makes him tested.
You're just repeating what Si said. I simply disagree that playing with three All-Pros makes a player worse. Sherman's ability allows the Hawks to leave Thomas over the top on Maxwell's side rather than flipping the secondary to match the strong side. Maxwell has an all-pro protecting him over the top and an all pro protecting him over the middle and the Hawks can do this because they have an all pro lined up on the other side of him. We simply disagree.

Try watching him actually play and look at his stats first next time.
I didn't look at his stats. That said, I know you're doing it unwittingly, but looking at the stats would actually contradict the argument YOU'RE making, as if what you're saying is true Maxwell's stats would make him look better than he is, not worse (e.g. more interceptions, passes defensed, tackles, forced fumbles, etc.).
