Setting expectations for Richard Sherman in 2018

With every passing day, the 49ers’ fan base is slowly forgetting Richard “don’t you ever talk about me!” Sherman and starting to get accustomed to Richard “Uncle Sherm” Sherman.

To the surprise of few, Richard Sherman was atop the list, allowing a passer rating of 47.
