His overall success rate of 57.9 percent is horrible compared to other cornerbacks such as Alterraun Verner (79.8 percent), Sam Shields (68 percent) and Patrick Peterson (69.6 percent), but those players also had much more tape to show off.
His small sample of man coverage showed off inconsistency, but he proved to be a good zone cornerback on a much larger sample during that same period.
He definitely has the talent to be a high-quality starter in the Seahawks defense, but he needs to eradicate the inconsistency that spreads through different areas of his play.

A whopping 3 points off 4 INT's, only 10 first downs, not even 200 total yards of offense and well below 50% pass completions. The lone TD the defense gave up was a near miracle on third down and should have been just a FG; putting the Cards up just 2 points with two minutes to go instead of needing a TD just to tie.

It makes so much sense to hate on players that in their last appearence on the field shut down the best offense in NFL history, we suck. We should rebuild and bring in players that are only first rounders and gaurenteed to be elite.

How do you turn "wait and see" into "hate on the players"???
I just think it's going to be a great competition between Maxwell and Lane for playing time opposite Sherman. Maxwell is in his contract year, he's done amazing things in zone coverage with help over the top from Thomas, and has had some inconsistent moments playing in man coverage. I'm looking for Maxwell to take that next step in his development as he becomes either an elite player or just a very good player.
