PFF has always had good things to say about Scandrick. They had him 28th out of 112 cbs last year which isn't "trash".I fixed that for you and the rest of that doesn't really translate to on the field production but kuddos to him. I personally think we've coulda cut ties with him as well a long time ago and upgraded that position. Brown getting a chance in his rookie season and looking better than Scan tells the story
The NFL’s best cornerbacks versus each route type in 2016 | NFL Analysis | Pro Football Focus
Honorable Mention: Orlando Scandrick, Cowboys
Scandrick, like Grimes, didn’t allow a single completion on a double-move. He was targeted three times on such routes, and broke up one attempt. Scandrick did an excellent job staying with his man, as the average time to throw against him was 3.03 seconds, an eternity in the NFL. On his only targeted play when in man coverage, he had to stay in coverage for only 2.1 seconds before the throw. On his two cover-3 targets, the offense averaged 3.5 seconds before the throw, and Scandrick stayed with both T.J. Jones and DeSean Jackson throughout.

SLOT CORNERBACK
William Gay, Pittsburgh Steelers (83.7)
After a couple up-and-down years early in his career, Gay has become more consistent in recent years and actually put together his best season to date in 2016. Having moved to the slot not only helped Gay, but he actually has become one of the better slot cornerbacks in the league overall. Furthermore, he allowed the second-fewest yards per cover snaps in the slot out of 52 cornerbacks with 0.61 yards, behind only Chris Harris Jr.
Honorable Mention: Orlando Scandrick, Dallas Cowboys (80.1)
Dallas Cowboys’ Offseason Review: Orlando Scandrick the Underappreciated CB
On my -3 thru +3 scale, I rated Scandy at a 1.5 year-end average. He ranked moderate-to-high scores in coverage, high scores in critical playmaking (playing strong at key moments), and moderate in pass-rush. Pro Football Focus thought so much of Orlando Scandrick that they ranked him as their 10th best CB in the NFL last season, that’s obviously behind All-Pro CBs Richard Sherman (3rd) and Darrelle Revis (4th), but it’s ahead of players like Aqib Talib (16th), Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (17th), and Joe Haden (28th).
