He allowed a passer rating of 73 last season. I'll take that "inconsistency" over most corners in the league.

I know stats are not the best way. Having said that, elite/generational CB’s still pile up those “poor” metrics. The argument is that just because you have those numbers doesn’t mean you are elite, but if you are, why don’t you have more defining moments?

My entire point is that, sure he is a top 10 CB at the moment, but to be worthy of a $20+ Million/year contract he needs more production.

PDs and tackles are often more a result of target volume than not. Tackling especially has zero bearing on a corner playing well or not. That's why bad corners are so valuable in IDP fantasy...they rack up more stats.  

Patrick Peterson hasn't had more than 8 PDs or 3 picks in a season since 2013 for instance. 

I don't think Jalen is playing well this season, but that's because of how he's been in coverage, not his tackle/pd/INT stats. His 1v1 coverage hasn't been up to par and that's where Jalen makes his money.
