Really? Nobody else thinks this? Not the coaching staff who watches these guys in film and spends everyday with them in practice? Seems that they have benched Bennett even in favor of Faggins (forget Molden). Reeves is the only guy they have started all season so they clearly agree.
As for who gets targeted more by opposing defenses, I don't know. Give us a link with your 2-to-1 numbers. The problem is you're making it up. Either way even if he is targeted more he has 13 passes defended (9th in NFL) and 3 interceptions. Both of those numbers are better than the rest of our corners COMBINED. And before you claim its because he is thrown at the most, go take the time to see the rest of the CBs atop that passes defended list with him.
Either way my point is why would we pull Reeves when about 8 out of the other 10 starters on our terrible defense have played worse than him. People let Reeves' bad contract cloud their view of him as a player. My point is, they have all been paid already, so lets play the guy who is performing the best right now. If in the offseason someone wants to argue we should look to upgrade or replace at CB I will say I agree. But right now, regardless of value, or the bang for the buck, Jaque Reeves is our best corner and there is no reason to bench him.
