Who our REAL number 1 corner is! Face it, B-Mac is better
-
There is one thing you are forgetting...B-Mac is being targeted WAY MORE than E.Wright. So even though his numbers are slightly higher than Wrights...it is on a LOT more passes in his direction.
I do have to say...I like B-Mac and am not a guy who thinks we need to look CB for next year.

You hit the nail on the head, the pass rush is killing this team! Our two young corners are going to be just fine. Consider this, if we had the pass rush the steelers, ravens or cowboys had we might be talking about B-mac or Wright going to the pro bowl because their INTS would literally double.
Donovan and every other QB that has played the Browns has had all day to, pick his butt, file his nails and brush his hair back there in the pocket. With all the time these QB's have Bmac and Wright are still coming up with plays. that says alot.
Here's a stat for ya, the Cleveland Browns are tied for first in the NFL with the Ravens in INTs at 22. With a pass rush like the Ravens that number would be significantly higher.
The problem isn't the personnel its the philosophy, we need to switch to the one gap 3-4 system next season and add Rey Maualuga in the draft. If we do it right watch this d become a top ten defense!
Also Bmac does NOT have a TD Wright does so your statistic there is wrong and Bmac has 5 INTS while Wright has 3. Both of these guys are about the same in total package. Wright played better earlier this season, bmac is playing better now.

McDonald had one athletic INT last night and one gift from McGinnest.
He was consistently burned for large gains last night by a rookie wideout. He did not have a great game.
That said, I like him and think the anemic pass rush is the primary fault. I also like Wright.

Wright and McDonald both have a lot of potential. They are both young and still learning. They should be a fine duo for years to come. One big problem has been the lack of pass rush, slow LBs that can't make the drops to take the underneath passes away and a very poor year by a injured Sean Jones. Jones and Pool have left McDonald and Wright hung out to dry this year when they have been consistently caught looking into the backfield.
The Browns don't play a lot of man to man, which should be the strength of these two young corners. They play a two deep zone with no pass rush so QBs have all day for receivers to find a seem and sit down in it.
McDonald and Wright will both be fine when we get a better coaching staff, who can ugrade the pass rush.

I thought bmac would be a break out cb this year but i also thought he would get proper support and that tucker would fare better than grantham and that we would be able to effectively blitz...its hard to judge wright or bmac both those guys have been sent skydiving over an island without a parachute or a prayer...

This is the quality of decisions that RAC has made to ruin this team. Who would have thought that Tucker would look like crap compared to Grantham.
Can't blame that one on Savage. That was all RAC begging for control and laying all the blame on Grantham trying to show him up.

On NFL.com, the stats this season say that Wright does not have a TD this season, they also say that B-mac only has 1 sack, when I was certain that hes had 2 or 3. The stats could be wrong.
Oh and B-mac scored a touchdown this past week against philly, he does have a TD.
Regardless if the stats are off by 1 or 2 here or there that doesn't make up for the fact that B-mac has played aggressive this year and has made plays. If the pass rush was there the stats of both corners would be even better. Someone up there said that B-mac has had more balls come his way, that may or may not be true, but if it is then I say he's handled it just as well as Wright if not better. Also, I believe B-mac is still in some way learning the position, a few years back he was playing wide reciever.
Note: I think this D cordinator sucks and that our previous one was much much better, we need Wright and B-mac playing man, we need wimbley and an ILB blitzing on every play, and we need to switch to the one gap.

Both Grantham and Tucker suck... but I loved Grantham's enthusiasm.. You can tell he was very passionate and cared. Either way, this will be the last of Mel Tucker too.. countdown is two weeks and counting...
I really like both Wright and McDonald.. If we had a pass rush, these guys could be top rated DB's. Besides a few moments, I thought they did a pretty good job. Especially since QB's had all day to throw the ball.. It is not easy to cover guys for VERY long periods of time. We ran the worst 3-4, screw even just the 3-4, the worst defense ever.. So SOFT!! If you noticed during the games.. when we DID get pressure, GOOD things happened. Wright and McDonald should both be on the roster next year as starters. Holly will help improve our backfield as well. He was very underrated in my opinion last year.

I like both guys. However, I think that Wright is a little better athlete and is usually in better position while defending. I am in no way knocking B-Mac. I think he was a steal in the 5th round, but I think Wright has a higher ceiling. Either way I'm glad they're both on our team. If we get a better pass rush and a little stouter up front we could have a really good defense.
