Yep, and the tell in both articles is that you have to have the player capable before it is even worth considering!
If your tagger gets beaten anyway, very likely with a player Cripps, Mitchell or Martin, you are basically playing a man down all over the field!
Unless the tagger can stop an opponent, and hurt the opposition going the other way, it proves pretty pointless when the stats get analysed. Those purely negative tags are dead and buried in my opinion!
