the only reason Stiner is better IMO is because he was so bad that picks sometimes went directly into his hands because he was so far out of position.
Has better stats? Yes, bc for some inexplicable reason we trotted him out there for three straight years.
DO THESE FUCHSING PEOE KNOW WE DONT HAVE TO PLAY THE MORE SENIOR GUY ALWAYS?
but he absolutely never made the appropriate play. he was never back there in coverage, he was 12 yards deep floating around. he was never covering the d gap in runs, he was 12 yards deep. I seriously do not remember a competent play out of him. He didnt get beat deep once or twice a game, like Kyle Jackson somehow being completely confused by it, Stiner got beaten every single fuchsing time. It is almost impossible to find a picture of him balk there doing his job.
Even in that picture of Marco not jumping, is was a GD post route like 20 yards deep. one safety should be in centerfield picking that off or two safetied on the hashes.
Nothing.
Ever.
And he isnt one of those heavy headhunter safeties that you just play down low in a zone or one high with the free safety deep.
