CommonCents Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) He put on weight that one offseason and was never the same. Seeing guys like PP lose weight as they get older only makes sense. Edited July 18, 2018 by Commonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo-Bah Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 If you ask me (which many don't) I think he went down hill the year Sammy torched him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Like him or not he was about complete a CB that ever played. Man or Zone. Had it all, speed, anticipation, hands, fluidity and a sure tackler. Also made a fortune due to the fact that he was never afraid to bet on himself which always allowed him to parlay that confidence into multiple big contract payday. Still enjoyed watching Sammy corkscrew him into the turf Edited July 18, 2018 by billsbackto81 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I am glad he did this One of the best ever....hated seeing him get his legacy tarnished like it has in recent years. Might still have been a crackerjack safety 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 For me, most opposing players are just faceless guys. Just another name filling a position. Revis was different. He was such a master of his craft and a joy to watch - when he wasn't shutting down Bills WRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 These guys keep retiring that I already thought were retired. Roy Hibbert retired this week!! I don’t remember seeing him in a game since like 2015. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Going to be honest, always thought he was overrated. Felt like he was one of those players the media hypes dramatically and the legend just kind of caught on. Not saying he wasn't a good defensive back, just never thought he was as elite and legendary as everyone seemed to make him out to be. In my opinion guys like Charles Woodson, Deion Sanders, Champ Bailey, Rod Woodson and Ty Law were all better. Revis was more on par with Darrell Green, who played at that level for a much longer time. Still makes the Hall of Fame, but not sure I want to get overly excited over a guy who is 225th on the all time interception list. I am sure people will say he didnt have those numbers because offenses respected his side of the field so much, just my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRush Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Revis had a pretty decent season when he returned to NYJ in 2015 but year he completely fell off a cliff the next year. I just remember him getting torched by Marquis Goodwin in the Thursday night home opener 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Stevie Johnson gave him plenty of difficulty. I thought he was over-hyped and overrated. Undoubtedly very good, just not as good as he thought he was. As evidenced by his retirement statement, his ego was actually larger than his talent, and he was very talented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 He was never the fastest of CBs. He was great because he was smart. His anticipation and technique were unsurpassed, but there comes a time in a player's career when anticipation and technique cannot compensate for decline=ing physical ability. In the end, Father Time gets us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocCityRoller Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 excellent player, a respected divisional rival. I think Stevie Johnson may have he best per game career stats against him. Those were fun match-ups to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
