Of the 64 starting CB's in the league where does Clements rank?

[Meathead]

and please, dont get burned

[T-Long]

very good.

[patmoran2006]

based on reputation.. Top Five.

Based on his play over 2005.. Top 15, IF he's lucky.

Kinda hard to stay on a WR for five seconds or more because of the lack of pass rush.

He is a top five CB hands down.

Id still take Champ Bailey, Rhonde Barber or Hall from the Falcons before Clements.. Very good corner but not top 5..

[Carlton Bailey]

Law, Bailey, McAllister, Barber, Hall, and Lucas are all better. A case can be made for Bly, Vasher, and Surtain. Thus, Clements ranges from 7-10. Not bad. I think he's worth the 5.89 mill.

[Voltron]

He is a top 5 corner with a serious attitude problem. Attitude is not always a bad thing. Just in certain players. Jim Kelly had a ridicules attitude. Lets all face it now, Jim was a very ME ME ME type of guy. But he also backed up his talk for a better part of his career. Clements is a great corner but I think his attitude could cause problems in the locker room so I say he is top 10 when you put his talents and attitude together.

[SABURZFAN]

he isn't that good.

[casdhf]

Could you please list the 64 starting CBs so I can count?

[LtBillsFan66]

Good.

[feelthepain]

I voted 6-10 very good, could have been higher if it weren't for last year!!

[TedMock]

Nate is a very good corner. He's had 1 bad season. Not that stats tell the whole story, but if you look at his career vs the other top guys, he's better than most. I think Ty Law is the only one who has outplayed Nate on all levels since he came into the league. Up until this past season, I was complaining that he was underrated.

[Samphin1]

I said very good as well. I would tend to put him on the lower half of the 6-10/upper half of 11-15. He was exposed somewhat last year, but make no mistake about it, he is quality through and through.

[patmoran2006]

He was "somewhat exposed" last year? What games were you watching? You can make a case he was the WORSE player in the entire secondary.

I'd take Jerry Azumah at half the price and buy myself a new starting guard with the remains.

[vicmantak]

One question. If Clements is tagged... is it possible to trade him for another franchised player?

I mean, is it possible to trade him for LeCharles Bentley?

IMO it would be possitive for both franchises. Saints would get "something" for Bentley and Bills would start the re-building (and also directly purge some Donahoe's messes) from the middle of the OL...

It would be a key-move for us because Teague replacement, Clements cap issues and the instability of the OL are simply insane...

:hi5: :chuckle:

[The King]

He is talented but a selfish player. I agree with what PM2006 said. I would take a Jerry Azumah type player over Clements. Solid but inexpensive and always does whats best for the team, not himself.

[gr8slayer]

Either way he is the best CB in the AFC East.

[Billsrock4life]

i'd say 6-10 he covers well and is a good run stopper but they're definetly people better

[Historian]

Maybe 7th or 8th.
