A.C. is now a NY Jet. He is an extremely gifted athlete, and playing the #2 CB spot opposite #24 may do wonders for his career. In 07' he had a career year with 10 INT's. If we find a way to pressure the QB better this season A.C. could easily be joining Revis in Hawaii (yes, the 2010 pro bowl will back in paradise). It is already being said that we have the best pair of corners in the NFL.
I understand why this trade makes sense. We gave up a 3rd round pick for a young dynamic player who was the #19 overall pick only a few years ago. We feasibly have the top CB from the 06' draft and certainly have the best CB from the 07' draft. This would seem like a fool proof formula for success.
Here's another stat... Cromartie may have over 15 children with almost as many different mothers. Thats more than just gross. That shows no character, no impulse control... and simply puts up the kind of flag I wouldn't be able to ignore if I was Mike Tannenbaum. He has a ton of off the field issues, and considering the current state of our defensive line, I think Mr. T should be shoring up the trenches and trying to acquire some pass rushers.
Our defensive scheme with the proper DE's and OLB's would be unstoppable and players like Lowery or Strickland could play opposite Revis and excel. If Cromartie puts up double digit picks and lives up to his potential I will be a happy fan.
I just feel it is much more likely he will spend more time on the back page of the NY Post because of sex scandals and suspensions than because of his game changing plays.
