Richard Sherman:”I believe my numbers speak for themselves,”

Say this for Richard Sherman, he truly believes in himself.He isn’t shy about saying so. When asked by Espn First Take’s Skip Bayless if he thought he was the best cornerback in the league he said:I believe my numbers speak for themselves,” Sherman told Smith. “My tape speaks for itself. My tape is my resume. That is what I leave it up to. You can say whatever you want. Skip can say whatever he wants. But Skip, whenever you refer to me, whenever you speak to me, whenever you address me, address me as ‘All-Pro Stanford graduate’ because those are some accomplishments you’ll never — you can aspire to, you’ll never accomplish.”

Bayless pressed him further and asked:Bayless: “OK, do you think you are better than Darrelle Revis is right now?”

At this point Sherman made it personal and just should have just answered the question.Instead his response was “In my 24 years of life, I’m better at life than you.” Huh? A simple yes or no would do at that point and move the interview along. Instead Sherman engaged Bayless in a mindless back and forth debate that did nothing but create more needless controversy.

For Sherman’s sake he better hope Revis doesn’t get traded to the 49ers or Falcons because he will a have a first hand look at the best cornerback in the game blanket one of his receivers.
