  • The Philadelphia Eagles Will Go Far This Season And I think Asante Samuel Is The Best Cornerback in The Nfl And He Signed With The Philadelphia Eagles Because He Wanted To Get Back To The Superbowl And Will Do That With The Eagles
    • Placard_complete_small
      I don't agree with Welker, but Champ is the best CB in the league
  • Eagles Rock
  • Champ Use To Be The Best CB In the League But He Is Old And Is maybee the number 2 or 3 best cb in the nfl ASANTE SAMUEL IS BEST CORNERBACK IN THE NFL
    • Placard_complete_small
      you can believe what you want, but if you had toplay one game, would you rather have Bailey or Samuel? the decision isn't that hard, you go for Bailey who will be the best CB all time by the time he's done

      here read this:

        nobody will ever be better than Deion sorry
        • Placard_complete_small
          Champ has a shot though cuz unlike Deion, Champ actually knows how to tackle someone
        • squish059
          Placard_complete_small
          yeah that is helpful. but primetime was a good WR and one of the best ever PR and one of the first shut down corners playing in a league that was very rich in QB and WR depth. He was also listed as #4 or 5 QB on the team in Dallas.
  • BAILEY IS GOOD AND I GIVE HIM ALOT OF CREDIT BUT I THINK THAT IS IS GETTING UP THERE IN AGE AND ASANTE SAMUEL WILL BE THE #1 CORNERBACK NOW. BAILEY GAVE UP ALOT OF PLAYS LAST YEAR WHEN SAMUEL INTERCEPTED ALOT OF PASSES THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER
    • Placard_complete_small
      i wouldn't say a lot of plays, more like a few, and the only eason that happened was cuz Denver's run defense was 30th in the league and was not good at all, so Bailey and Dre had to help with the run and it was almost pass coverage second after run D....now if the D was good, Bailey would have had at least 6 picks......but being a good corner is not all about INT's ....i bet if you go look at the stats, Champ leads in pass deflections and tackles for corners
  • 1. Asante Samuel
    2.Champ Bailey
    3.Al Harris
    • Placard_complete_small
      wrong....

      Champ
      Cromartie
      Samuel
      • BirdsFan536
        Placard_complete_small
        wrong....

        samuel
        cromartie
        trufant
        • Placard_complete_small
          Champ is definitely better than Trufant and Cromartie cuz they had what, one good season? and if you actually look at stats and all that Champ is better than Asante
        • rhcp879
          Placard_complete_small
          wrong....
          Champ
          Asomugha
          Samuel
        • Placard_complete_small
          thats good but i think Samuel is better than Asomugha
        • rhcp879
          Placard_complete_small
          My actual list would have been Champ, Samuel, Cromartie, then Asomugha but i wanted to be different.
        • Placard_complete_small
          sounds good
      • Mizzo89
        You're an idiot if you think Champ will be the best CB ever.

        You're a retard if you think Cromartie is even close to the second best corner in the league.
  • champ used to be the number 1 cornerback but cromartie had 1 good year and that still does not make him number one. champ is not the number 1 cornerback anymore. he is good now but asante samuel is better and he is now the number 1 cornerback in the game. you will see this year with the philadelphia eagles and i say 16 interceptions for asante samuel and maybee 5 for champ and 3 for cromartie
    ASANTE IS NUMBER 1 CORNERBACK IN THE NFL PERIOD
    • Placard_complete_small
      give me some facts that why you have Asante #1.......here are some

      Asante played full time as a starter since 2003 so I'll give you the stats since that year for both players

      Champ:389 tackles--------Asante:238 tackles
      Champ:26 INT's---------Asante:22 INT's
      Champ:79 pass deflected-------Asante:79 pass deflected
      Champ:18 INT's when losing------Asante:17 INT's when losing

      these show in the same amount of years that Champ has better production at corner than Asante
      • squish059
        Placard_complete_small
        champ was defly better.... probably still is. asante is defly a top 3 corner.... this argument is a waste really. I love my Eagles but why we try to argue things like this is beyond me......
        besides its not the player that wins, its the team
      • BirdsFan536
        Placard_complete_small
        TC you gotta understand in 2003 champ was the best...and in 04 and 05....but right now it is asante samuel and antonio cromartie...things change hes just gettin old and he is still an effective player its just that he isnt the best anymore.....i know hes ur favorite player i just disagree with him being the best...and deion sanders is the best of all time champ will be up there though
        • Placard_complete_small
          but just tell me how he is better....Champ's stats are better, he knows how to get it done, and whats great about Champ is that he knows he's the best

          here, please be honest, if Asante wasn't on the Eagles, would you consider him the the best? be honest.

          and here is an article and about Champ's age

          http://www.gazette.com/sports/bailey_37540___article.html/won_birthday.html
        • BirdsFan536
          Placard_complete_small
          id say samuel or cromartie are the best no matter what team they are on....if they keep puttin up the numbers they are i say they are the best...champ is the best in the long run because samuel and cromartie are young and still have alot to prove but champ has proved hes the best and is past his time 3 ints last season
      • 4forfour
        Corner stats don't tell the whole picture. The tackles could be because the corner didn't cover well enough in the first place. Tackles usually mean you're getting thrown against. A big knock on the Eagles D was that the corners led them in tackles through the first 4 or so games I believe. The INTs can come from a bad pass rush up front. That being said, I still think Champ is the number one corner in the league until he has a really bad season.
        • Placard_complete_small
          well said 4forfour
        • Pinkpanthrrr
          Placard_complete_small
          He didn't have a steallar season last year. The year before,( 2006 I think) he had like 40 INTs. That's a lot.
        • Placard_complete_small
          yeah i would say thats a lot
      • webkid30
        Asante has had 26 INT's since 2003. I like eaglesrock12's prediction that he'll get 16 this year. This guy knows what he's talking about.
      • splitting hairs, different teams playing different games, asante in that period has taken his team into many big games and produced there.
      • Mizzo89
        If you knew anything you'd know most stats, like INTs, are worthless when comparing corners.
  • Toaster
    Al "I'm good for a pass interference penalty every game" Harris?

    #3?

    Wow.
    • squish059
      Placard_complete_small
      yeah that is more than generous.... he's not even the best on that team
      • rhcp879

  • theoneandonly
    Placard_complete_small
    Well the Eagles are not going to win the Superbowl so I guess he is right... Atleast Welker didnt get somebody to write a dumbass rap for his thoughts!!!
  • Brian Dawkins is the best saftey in nfl history and the eagles are going to win the superbowl this year for all you haters out there. asante will always be the number one cornerback if you look at his stats. JUST WATCH THE EAGLES GO 14-2 AND MAY GO 16-0 (DO NOT BE SHOCKED) THE EAGLES WILL GO 16-0 AND WIN THE SUPERBOWL. GO EAGLES
    • Placard_complete_small
      if you look at the stats Champ is better....i don't know what stats you are looking at
    • whitejordan32
      Placard_complete_small
      Ronnie Lott

      I'll send you a message when the Eagles lose a game.
    • BirdsFan536
      Placard_complete_small
      i wouldnt go that far....ronnie lott is the best in nfl history but dawk is up there....eagles will win 10 or 11 games this year...maybe 12 its possible..but 14 or 16 no....theyll win the superbowl though!!!
  • that roy williams thing i said was a joke im a die hard eagles fan
  • I AM A DIE HARD EAGLES FAN TO AND DO YOU THINK THE EAGLES WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPERBOWL AND WIN
  • ASANTE SAMUEL WILL HAVE 16 INTERCEPTIONS THIS YEAR OR EVEN MORE. HE IS THE BEST CORNERBACK EVER AND WILL GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE EAGLES GREATS
  • I HOPE ON FRIDAY AUGUST 22ND ASANTE SAMUEL WILL LINE UP AGAINST WES WELKER AND HIT HIM AS HARD AS HE CAN SO HE CAN GET SOME PAYBACK OF WHAT HE SAID ABOUT HIM. MAYBEE EVEN GET SOME INTERCEPTIONS AGAINST HIM TO.
    GO ASANTE SAMUEL!
    • webkid30
      Let me go out on a limb and guess that you must be around 11 years old.

    wow 16 picks that is one hell of a prediction
    • squish059
      Placard_complete_small
      it's on Madden though...so it's cool
  • dfmcnabb
    Placard_complete_small
    i'm not going to dwell on what wes welker said and make a big stink about it. someone should actually tell wes that he won't get his championship in NE this year. yes they will be good, but teams in the AFC are better. if they meet the Jags in the playoffs, i think the Jags win it this time with Brady getting popped in the mouth a few times.
    • Placard_complete_small
      i would love to see Mr.Brady get popped a few times
      • dfmcnabb
        Placard_complete_small
        you and me both TC.
    • whitejordan32
      Placard_complete_small
      Just like when he went 24 for 27 last year?
      • dfmcnabb
        Placard_complete_small
        24 for 27. at the same time how many were short dink passes that any QB could've completed and went 24 for 27.
      • whitejordan32
        Placard_complete_small
        Does it matter? He took what the defense gave him and managed the game perfectly. Sometimes as a QB, thats what you've got to do. Recognizing that is the difference between Brady and Grossman
        • dfmcnabb
          Placard_complete_small
          That's understandable and I'm not saying that it's not impressive. I just don't think it was that big of a deal as people are making it out to be. If he did it throwing deep more during the game, that's one thing. Would it be impressive if someone went 25 for 25 throwing screen passes all game.

          You can't compare Brady to Grossman. Grossman probably couldn't even manage a game playing Madden.
  • Ray_Maafia
    eaglesrock12, lets say asante was still with new england, i bet my life u wouldnt be callin him the best cb in the league right now lol...
    • Placard_complete_small
      thank you....but you can't tell a 6th grader that
    • BirdsFan536
      Placard_complete_small
      i know i would be sayin him or cromartie...like ive been saying for the past few months
  • dk0212566
    Welker's comment was interpreted wrong. end of story. Either that or he hates the Eagles... In which case, lets kick his ass when we face him in the pre-season
    • squish059
      Placard_complete_small
      i totally agree, he didn't even mention the Eagles.... he was merely sayin the Pats are made of gold right now, which is unfortunately true
  • kgoon1590
    umm, no championship for the eagles in 2008, is that really all that difficult to predict?

    yeah you philly haters, i feel those thumbs down coming for me. Plus: asante samuel is OVERRATED! believe it, he's the dre bly of this season.
    • KillerTalon
      This doesnt seem to be something that someone on the Pats would say. NE has made it clear that they dont spend top dollar on anyone. They pitch the idea of winning, but they prospect has to take a pay cut, especially if its a skill guy. Welker sounds very bitter. Its understandable with the season that Brady gave him in 2007. I guarantee that the NE front office has already told him to keep his mouth shut.
      • Pinkpanthrrr
        Placard_complete_small
        iT IS UNCHARACTERISTIC of Pats players to sit and talk smack about other teams. I think they put it in their contract or something that they HAVE to keep their mouths shut lol. Good comment. He should be fined. I think it was taken out of context, but who knows. You know half the stuff printed is distorted anyways, just look at 95 percent of the things they report on Donovan.
  • Lol 16 picks... this site honestly blows my mind. There are maybe five intelligent posters on the entire site that aren't athletes.
    Honestly, I'd be thrilled if Asante grabbed five balls. But INTs aren't everything. I want to see the secondary really give Romo a hard time. Lito is usually the Cowboy Killer, but we had our asses handed to us in the first match of last year. I just want to see Terrell Owen's stat sheet read something like 2 cth, 8 yds. That'd be good for me.
    But 16 picks? Wow. Honestly... so many 13 year old kids who play Madden on rookie get the WRONG ideals about football. And people start judging players in the NFL based on their Madden OVR rating. It's funny.
    • Hear ya there, its nice to post how you feel about sports especially if you've been around long enough to understand the game and how it is really played. Too many kids postin on this site. You can always tell when they are 13, goes something like this....
      "Donovan is the best quarterback in the NFL, Eagles are going to sweep the cowboys, and all we need to do is lock up ocho sinko or Roy Williams and we will be the best. We have the best defense in the league and asnate samuel has an OVR rating of 97 in madden, so you know he will play great. Where my dogs at!"
      thats how you know you are bloggin with a 10 year old who wouldn't know a formation if it was tagged on his pubeless C**k
    • BirdsFan536
      Placard_complete_small
      hahahahaha i think he can get 8 ints if he has a GREAT season but 5 is the more realistic number....i agree with u on the whole TO thing...i just want a corner who can shut down burress and owens
  • And... for the comments "Kick his ass in preseason, blahblah"

    Do you think Welker will get more than 10 minutes of time? I doubt it.
  • 4forfour
    At least it's bulletin board material during training camp. I could care less if he picks off ten or none. His job is to keep the ball out of the #1 receiver's hands. That's the key. Let Johnson coach. Pressure is the key. INTs can be forced by pressure.
  • ASANTE SAMUEL IS NOT OVERATTED! DO NOT HATE THAT HE LEADS THE NFL WITH 16INTS SINCE 2006 AND 6 INT RETURNS FOR A TD SINCE 2003 INCLUDING THE PLAYOFFFS AND HE IS A GOOD TACKLER BUT THE EAGLES DEFENSE IS TOO GOOD THAT GAITHER AND BRADLEY WILL TACKLE MOST OF THE TIME. HE LEADS IN NFL DEFENSIVE BACKS WITH 14 POSTSEASON GAMES PLAYED SINCE 2003 AND IS A HUGE PLAYMAKER. I WOULD CHOOSE ASANTE SAMUEL OVER ANY CORNERBACKS IN THE NFL. I WOULD NOT CHOOSE ANYONE OVER SAMUEL. ASANTE IS NUMBER ONE AND THE BEST THERE EVER IS OR WILL BE
    • BirdsFan536

      you cant argue with those stats though i dont care how old this kid is....hes got some stats that u really have to give samuel his props for

  • Reds1214
    Placard_complete_small
    Wes Welker Knows what he is talking about he did win suberbowl MVP!!And won the Superbowl last year didnt he!!! I mean To Judge a champion you have to be a champion right!!!! ????OH thats right the giants won
  • Yeah but u guys are comparing Champ numbers with Asantes Numbers as if they have been playing in for the same amount of yrs last time i checked Champ is older than Asante And how Does asante have those Close numbers and has played in lesser games than Champ makes u think who is truly the better CB especially since Asante is creeping up behind him Think about it guys.....
    • Placard_complete_small
      no, those numbers i posted are from 2003 on for both players
      • BirdsFan536
        Placard_complete_small
        but champ was an established corner in 2003....asante samuels first year starting was 2003 (from what u said) so u cant really compare them like that
  • PLus asante dont have to worry about Championships He allready got Rings unlike Wes Welker that is probably underpaid but doesnt want to say anything cuz he doesnt want to leave a winning team like the Patriots but he probably is mad at his contract and what they are paying him but he is jealous with asantes Success and the fact that he left to get paid since the Pats are cheap an want u to get paycuts....
  • yodoof
    the funny thing is the pats have no chance wat so ever at the sb now that their defense is like worst in the afc
    • Pinkpanthrrr
      Placard_complete_small
      ok you are basing that the Patriots have no defense on what..Because Samuel left ?? And how is that? They have no defense because of what one guy??? One guy doesn't make a team, except in tennis. Trust me, the Patriots will always find a replacement. They decided not to give him the $$ he wanted, so he left. That is the way they are. If they needed him that badly and thought they could not win without him they would have paid him.
  • I don't think that what he said was very professional; however I don't think that Asante Samuels is probably concerned too much about what Wes Welker thinks. However; we still have to admit that the Patriots are alot closer to a SuperBowl than the Eagles.
    • don't think they are as of now. THey will be going into a recession pretty soon. THe linebackers have just gotten their AARP cards in the mail, as time passes they will be left with a shell of what they once were.
  • birds_fan93
    champ is better than deion and champ is was better than asante samuel is now but i still think that asante will be better than champ
  • But if teams found Weakness in there Defense what makes u think they wont expose it this yr....
  • im regarding 2 the patriots
  • ASANTE SAMUEL IS NUMBER 1
    • Asante' Samuel is not the number corner in the league I have to say Asomugha is. Asante' played alot of zone cover 2 in New England. When he goes to Philly where they play alot of man he will get torched believe me he gambles way too much. Asomugha on the other hand plays soley man coverage. Just look at his man coverage on madden when it comes out it is 99 best on the game.
  • Dawks08
    WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA, I love the Eagles no doubt but TC is right in saying that a team would rather have Champ. But TC, Champ hasnt been much of a factor these last years, hes made the pro bowl due to reputation, and thats a huge accomplishment, but as of now the hottest CB out in Samuel or Cromartie. Cromartie hasnt been much of a factor up until lat year so for him the biggest thing is consistency. As for the lito vs sante, i think lito isn better if hes healthy but he never is. if he plays the whole season healthy he will be my top CB in the league. but to start a team around a corner is stupid but i would want cromartie over samuel only due to size thats it. Now just as samuels helpless without harrison cromarties nothing without jammer so go figure
    • Placard_complete_small
      ok here it is:

      Samuel/Cromartie - "hottest" CB's in the NFL

        AKA Samuel/Cromartie best at this current moment
        Champ-career is better overall

        just like if u compare rappers like ur boy lil wayne....
        wayne right now is the best rapper out
        but jay-z is by far the best rapper ever
        • squish059
          Placard_complete_small
          good analogy, very true
  • And for the record... no one should be allowed to post in this thread if they don't know that the man's name is Asante Samuel. NOT SAMUELS.

    ...Go back to playing Madden.

    And yeah, Cromartie had one good year. Way too early to start anointing him with holy oil. I still think Champ is in the upper echelon of CBs in the league. He may not have had the big number of picks this year, but people need to realize... HE STRIKES FEAR INTO QBS. Most QBs don't throw to his side of the field. THAT is the mark of being a good CB.

    And I think it's pretty funny how so many good CBs in the league are going almost unnoticed. Samuel is a good CB, no doubt, but I don't think he is the number one in the league. Definitely top 5 though.

    the only reason he was good is cause he has Tom Brady throwin to him and defenses have to worry about Randy Moss, Stallworth, Watson, Marony
  • dk0212566
    Wes Welker is just jealous that he didnt get a big fat contract like asante and he wont win a championship in his lifetime

    Anyone who says Asante Samuel is the best CB in the league, they're an idiot.

    Anyone who says Cromartie is doesn't know anything about football, plays Madden a lot, and should be shot.

    Champ is still the best in the league, followed by the likes of Terrence Newman, Asomugha,and McAlister.

    Ed Reed is the best safety in the league, with close competition from Kerry Rhodes, Dawkins, Wilson, Sanders, and Polamalu.

  • Asante Samuel Is The Best Cornerback In The League And That Makes Me A Genius For Saying That.

    No, it makes you an arrogant Philly fan who doesn't know what he's talking about.

    They don't mean anything when talking about corners, no. If that was the case Deltha O'Neal is one of the best.

    Oh, Deltha O'Neal is because he has 2 ints in the past two seasons??? Right.

    If people think Adrian Peterson is one of if not the best RB's in the league then Cromartie is one of the best CBs in the league.

    INT's don't mean that much when comparing corners to find out who's the best, but they do mean everything when they occur in a game at the time.

    Now lets look at some good CB's....
    Lets talk about the Last 3 years, who are the most productive guys....

    Champ Bailey- 236 tackles/ 58 pd's/ 21 int's
    Asante Samuel- 164 tackles/ 58 pd's/ 19 int's
    Marcus Trufant- 217 tackles/ 40 pd's/ 9 int's
    Terrence Mcgee- 228 tackles/ 47 pd's/ 8 int's

    Mizzo, who is the best CB in the league? I would like to know.

    I know you said Champ, but why?
    • Placard_complete_small
      productive, clutch, shutdowns the opposing WR, all around outstanding athlete

    So I guess Cromartie is the new Champ..
    • Mizzo89
      LOL Cromartie intercepting people doesn't equal shutting down the team's best WR.
  • Mizzo89
    Cromartie is a hell of a playmaker. Few years he SHOULD be the best CB if he has an above average work ethic, which he does. Just too much talent. But right now, that's all he is. A playmaker. He doesn't shut people down. When they are healthy these are the best in the game...

    Champ
    Chris McAlister
    Terrence Newman
    Nnamdi Asomugha
    Asante Samuel
    Al Harris

    But according to many of the dummies in this topic, Anthony Henry is one of the best because he has a lot of INTs.

      Could not agree more!!! This is a good answer to my question. I agree Chris McAlister is one of the best.
  • In my opinion...

    Good corners SHOULDN'T have many INTs. Because a quarterback shouldn't be throwing to the receiver that a truly good corner is manned up on, because he should be basically taking that receiver out of the game.

    Judge a corner by the receivers he's faced during the season. Don't look at the CB's stats, look at the WR's stats.

    Here's an example for you... these are made-up statistics, but here you go.

    CB Cromartie is covering WR Marshall.
    Cutler hits Marshall for 2 TD passes, 5 catches, and 87 yards.
    But... Cromartie ends the day with 6 tackles, 2 PDs, and 2 INTs.

    CB Bailey is covering WR Chambers.
    Chambers ends the game with 1 catch for 6 yards.
    Bailey's final stats are 2 tackles and a PD.

    YOU judge who had the better game.
    • theoneandonly
      Placard_complete_small
      Well what website do you get who covered who??? Because if you know anything about football, which it looks like you know a little, you would know that a CB doesnt guard the same guy every play. And in fact Cromartie gets a lot of his picks in zone d... The best Cb doesnt just have to have lock down D, there are quite a few other things that goes into a good CB. Just like a RB has to be a great runner, but also blocker, and receiver.

    eaglesrock... you dont know anything about samuel so stop acting like you do. Youre an eagles fan, the only time you saw samuel is when the pats took care of business in the super bowl against you clowns. All you need to know about samuel is is that hes extremely overrated and misses a bunch of tackles because he always tries to go for the interception. Sometimes he gets it, other times he doesnt and gets burned. Hes all about the money and even though Welker hasnt won a championship, everyone here knows damn well what he means.

    You guys are suckers for paying that much for a cornerback like samuel.

    there were tons of solid cornerbacks in the draft and you could have signed others for much cheaper. As long as donovan mcnabb is quarterback you wont win the super bowl anyways.
  • Dawks08
    champ is the best corner of all time asante is just on fire now, if you ask me give me a healthy lito sheppard over all of them A HEALTHY LITO BABY
  • phillyfannaz
    sounds like welker is jealous because he didnt get alot money even though he chose to ride Moss' coattails vs being his own player Attack the eagles eh with samuel on one corner and lito and brown to lock down the rest you wont be playing against a second or third tier corner mr welker.
