While that's true, it doesn't necessarily mean the writer doesn't know what he's talking about. And there are a lot of people here who might be wishing this defensive "liability" to not be true. So there's all that. Fans aren't the most objective judges of skill.
Teams have their own way of measuring defensive metrics, so we will likely never know for sure.
I watched Brogdon and loved the guy. I think the fact is that a lot of fans would like Brogdon even if his defense was less than stellar. His offense may make up for it. But I'm also not willing to disregard the writer as all wrong.
