Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman feels that Patrick Peterson would have found himself on the bench this season if he played for Pete Carroll's men.

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has expressed his belief that Arizona Cardinals' Patrick Peterson would be benched if he played for Pete Carroll's men.

Peterson is widely regarded as one of the best defensive backs in the game along with Sherman, but the 26-year-old feels that if he had given up the eight touchdowns Peterson had this season in coverage, he would find himself out of the starting lineup.

Sherman told NBC Sports: "I really don't care what happens in his game. I'm concerned about what we're doing, the win-loss category, and what the scoreboard looks like.

"I think at the end of the day, the tape will speak for itself. I don't know if everybody's compared on an even scale, and I don't know if he should be mentioned with [the great cornerbacks in the league]. You give up eight touchdowns in a year; it's hard to put you in that discussion.

"At any point, if I gave up that many touchdowns, I think I would be benched on our team. We have a level of accountability and that's what we strive for. You can't give up big plays like that and still play."

The Seahawks face off against the Cardinals in their NFC West clash later today.
