Before this past season Darrelle Revis was considered the consensus number one cornerback in the NFL, but an injury in 2012 and the emergence of Richard Sherman and an argument has come to fruition.
The two jawed on twitter today about who was better, with Sherman bringing up a couple of incorrect statistics into the mix.
Got off my flight to this hilarious convo. So I have 8 picks 3 ff and a sack.My season stats looking like Revis career stats

Revis actually also had eight interceptions in his second season in the NFL according to Pro Football Focus.
For the QB not throwing his way argument.In his 2nd year they were throwing his way.I still doubled his picks

@revis24 one season u will get 8 picks…. But it won’t happen anytime soon… I did it in my 2nd season… So u have something to chase

Revis fired back.
That’s like you saying your better then Deion Sanders & since he’s not playing no more he’s irrelevant for what he’s done. @rsherman_25

This should be an intriguing storyline for the 2013 season, but I think this is a sentiment that we all share.
I wish Sherman and Revis could just acknowledge one another as 1A and 1B.

That’s hilarious. They’re tough to compare. Revis plays a more fundamentally-sound style, while Sherman plays an old-school physical style. Personally, I’d rather have Revis but that’s besides the point. It’s just funny to see two stars jaw at each other this way.
This is hysterical. Sherman’s just laughing, and Revis is looking like he’s got a pound of sand in his vag.
go back on the adderall, sherman
All I know is that DR is better lookin’…RS is… U-G-L-Y…& he ain’t got no alibi! Go Colts!
