He's like House was early during his time in GB, a good #3 or #4 who can handle guarding another team's #3 or #4 WR. House improved over time, hopefully the same is true of Gunter. He'll never be able to defend against Julio Jones, but he can handle another team's Geronimo Allison or James Jones. I don't think there's a CB better than him or with more potential who is behind him on the depth chart. 

Every player in the NFL has  a skill set that is typically enhanced with experience!  The converse is also true of ability that it is often exposed with repetition.  The greatest players get beat regularly, it is how you resolve your defeat in the 2 second war that is the NFL.  Gunter lacks the  one weapon his position  mandates- recovery speed- if you could weld Josh Hawkins and Gunter together you might have a heck of a player. Apart neither may be an legit NFL prospect but Hawkins owns that essential trait (recovery speed) that may make up for his other deficiencies (line jam and steering)
