I agree. the guy takes way to much shit...... Its only because revis is so good and ny media. hes a really good player that gets no respect/ he s been playing strong and hitting everyone. he so much better than anyone gives him credit for
When you know your kids' names, you can just laugh at the question and not fail to name them on an HBO special.
God forbid our CB has some confidence in himself. For a second, I thought he was going to go home and cut himself because Revis is gone, but boy has he disappointed me.
Cro has never lacked confidence. Just focus, discipline, and mental acumen. Get over it, homers, his comments only mean he's an idiot.

You know, I have actually seen some decent posts from you lately. Can we just get past the part that you don't like Rex? I think it's well documented. Because if you can't get past that, then you are just trolling and should get your ass kicked out of here permanently. And that would be stupid.
Anyone notice Cro's physicality lately? He's been getting in on some tackles and even laid someone out last week.
Cromartie can easily be an unbelievable corner in this league if he just was more physical off the line of scrimmage. I remember someone showing a stat of when he's physical off the line as opposed to when he's not, and I think the receivers have caught 2 passes when he is physical. If he could do that, that would help a TON
He has been pretty physical so far this season. Much more than I ever remember him being. He needs to step up his game big time if he wants to be considered the best corner behind Revis though. He's good, he's not THAT good.
I am going to compare Cro to someone who gets TONS of acclaim, and even beat out Revis for defensive player of the year. Charles Woodson is a gambler, and risk taker in coverage. No i don't believe Cro is a defensive player of the year candidate, but I am just talking about their mental attitudes when playing. They take risks to make the big splash play. Now GB uses Woodson in a completely different manner than the Jets us Cro, but they both have made big plays for their teams, but because of their styles BOTH have given up monster plays because of their risk taking. I will go as far as to say Cro is probably the most physically gifted CB in the league. He needs to prove he has the consistancy, toughness, and mental aptitude to actually be the best (now that Revis is on the sideline).
Cromartie is truly the best corner in the league, now that Revis is injuried. Unfortunately, its Dominique Rogers-Cromartie.
You can question whether he is the best CB in the league but I think everyone will agree that he is a top four CB in the league, which is still pretty nice to have considering who we just lost.
Even Peyton Manning has paid the price against Antonio Cromartie. We like to joke about Cro and all his kids, but the fact is he is a hell of a physical specimen and quite a match up for any #1WR in this league. Cromartie not only has speed and height he also has the hands of a wide receiver. Which means if you throw the ball up in his direction he is probably the most likely CB in the league to pick you off. Message to Alex Smith: Having no Revis to worry about doesn't mean you're still not in a heap of trouble. So you dodged Muhammed Ali, now all you have to do is beat Mike Tyson in his prime... Good luck son. Good luck.
