Deployment profile

Coverage outcomes do not repeat: passer rating allowed carries almost no year-to-year signal and none through a team change. What persists is deployment. How often quarterbacks test a defender, how deep, and in what coverage family are stable facts about his role, and tackling is the one rate skill that travels. This panel describes usage and grades nothing.

Outcomes: context, not skill

These are the columns coverage discourse ranks defenders by. None of them repeats year to year at any useful strength, so they are shown for honesty and never scored.
