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

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

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

Champ has a shot though cuz unlike Deion, Champ actually knows how to tackle someone

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

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

wrong....

Champ
Cromartie
Samuel

wrong....

samuel
cromartie
trufant

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

wrong....
Champ
Asomugha
Samuel

thats good but i think Samuel is better than Asomugha

My actual list would have been Champ, Samuel, Cromartie, then Asomugha but i wanted to be different.

sounds good

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

well said 4forfour

He didn't have a steallar season last year. The year before,( 2006 I think) he had like 40 INTs. That's a lot.

yeah i would say thats a lot

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.

If you knew anything you'd know most stats, like INTs, are worthless when comparing corners.

Al "I'm good for a pass interference penalty every game" Harris?

#3?

Wow.

yeah that is more than generous.... he's not even the best on that team

Charles Woodson Better then Al Harris?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Al Harris better than...... Sheppard, Asomugha, Cromartie, Hall, Nate Clements, Chris Mcalister, Rasheen Mathis, Dre Bly
......... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

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

if you look at the stats Champ is better....i don't know what stats you are looking at

Ronnie Lott

I'll send you a message when the Eagles lose a game.

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!

Let me go out on a limb and guess that you must be around 11 years old.

i think thats what the 12 is for in his name... his age

i wouldn't doubt it

wow 16 picks that is one hell of a prediction

it's on Madden though...so it's cool
