If you say so...I've done it..and it's harder to make a good CB than nearly any other position. There's alot more to that position than covering a pass. The reason you see such bad corner play in this district is because they tend to just throw a kid out there that has decent cover skills. A good corner will make a split second decision on whether he's coming up for run support or covering a WR...furthermore, he'll make tackles. Being able to cover a receiver is just half of it...if that. It takes one hell of an athlete to make a stud cornerback. Has to have decent brains and a short memory as well....and an attitude doesn't hurt.
