By all sane accounts, New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis is done for the season, and everyone is acting a little funny in New York. Joe McKnight is playing cornerback and isn't particularly happy about it. New starter Kyle Wilson didn't want to talk to the media.

And Antonio Cromartie is ready to take over the mantle as the No. 1 guy -- in the entire NFL.

Cromartie told Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News that he's now the best cornerback in the NFL. Cromartie says he's better than Nnamdi Asomugha, just like he was better than Asomugha two years ago.

"I have said that I'm the second-best corner in the NFL," Cromartie said. "I'm not backing off what I said. I don't care what anyone else believes. ... It's my confidence in myself. I know what I'm capable of when I'm at the top of my game.

"This is Revis' team. He's been a consistent corner every single year. I haven't been.

Some self-awareness showed up there, just at the end. Cromartie isn't always a willing tackler, and his play has been uneven in New York. With that said, he's mostly been a quality starter while opposite Revis. The Jets gambled on Cromartie, and it paid off.

He's not the No. 2 cornerback in the league, but you could argue he's in the top 10.

I'll be honest. Off the top of my head I cant think of to many corners better than cro.

[SecondHandJets]

He turned out to be right about Nnamdi. f*** it, I'm riding with Cro.

Cromartie is good at getting himself in good position to make plays.

He is beyond awful at actually making those plays. He is good at committing penalties, though.

[A1elbow]

Where is a media boycott when you need it?

[Jetsfan0099]

Back it up, I have no problem with him having confidence though. CB is a position where confidence is key.

The best corner in the league outside of Revis and the best receiver on the team. No doubt Cro's also the best father in the world, according to himself.
