Caps add emphasis. If I can currently do something, and you currently cannot...in what pretend world you're imagining up can the person who currently can't do the thing be better than the person who CAN currently do the thing? When they are both currently able to do the thing, than yes, one can be better than the other. So yeah...Stevenson is a better player BECAUSE HE'S ACTUALLY PLAYING AT THE MOMENT. A guy sitting out because they're injured doesn't help the team.
And honestly...how much film on Brents are you breaking down to come to this conclusion. Give me specific things he's done better this year. SPECIFIC. Give me the games you've watched, with the All 22, so you can see him on every play and then cross referenced it to Stevenson in similar situations to create the scouting report thats lead to your conclusion. Then do the same with Stevenson. In short SHOW YOUR WORK!
Spoiler: I know you won't do this because your conclusions come from you reading a PFF score.

For emphasis, I prefer bold or underline if you are writing to me. Thank you.
Now, moving on. I finally understand what you are talking about. If Jalen Ramsey is injured and can’t run, the worst CB on the opponent’s practice squad can play better than him when Ramsey is injured. That is as trivially true as saying you to have to hit a QB to sack him, but irrelevant to the question of who is the better player when not injured. I didn’t realize that I need to say that I believe Brents is better than Stevenson when they are both not injured.
I do not have any all-22. You will have to find that yourself, if interested. There is a lot of YouTube on Brents, including this analysis of him by Chuck Pagano. Chuck was extremely impressed overall with him…
The first time I saw Brents was the TCU game. I actually watched it to see Johnston, because you were all hot for Johnston at the time. I thought, “Who is that corner covering Johnston?”
As far as his PFF grade, I didn’t even know what it was until we got into this discussion. I love this search engine on our site. On March 13, 2023, I had a post where I recommended that the Bears draft him in the second round. That was after watching the whole TCU game and some video of other games.
I don’t know where you and Ric get this idea that I base my evaluations on PFF. I watch the games and use PFF to validate that others besides me (who watch every snap of every game) have a similar opinion of the guy.
No...no...no! I want specifics from you! You stated Brents is better even though he hasn't played in 7 weeks. I want SPECIFICS FROM YOU (and I'm from New Jersey, I don't care about your netiqutte, this is how I talk)!!! I don't care what Chuck Pagano says...I WANT SPECIFICS FROM YOU!
Where me and Ric get the idea that you base your evaluations on PFF is the FACT that you live and die with PFF grades. Maybe if you didn't treat them as the holy grail as much as you do AND SITED ACTUAL FILM REVIEW we wouldn't think that.
