yeah, swiperboy said it all.

Nice breakdown, +rep

Its kinda funny how much pawnmower is obsessed with rep and neg reping people.

I'd like to see a video with this song singing "Hallie Berry. Hallie Beeeeery"

Thanks for the info. I was just wondering when I heard all the hype and checked the stats I thought I would see more than just 2 ints for last season but I guess that's because he was used so much in run support.

coming from someone who neg repped me...

LOL I haven't even neg repped you lately, even though you talk shit every chance you get...

Did you like the pic i made for you?

if so please +rep...


The reason I +repped the last guy was I thought it was a great response...jealous?

Another point worth mentioning.

Thomas was by no means a bad prospect; in any other draft he's easily the first safety taken. But with the very real injury concerns and the fact that he is physically less projectable and doesn't have quite the work ethic/character strengths that Berry has, he was pretty clearly not quite as good a prospect as Berry.

I see Thomas as a Donte Whitner type whereas Eric Berry could be Ed Reed. Donte Whitner is a very good player and nearly any team would be lucky to have him, but Ed Reed is a superstar.

what's really funny is that he loses rep every time he negs people: his carry almost no weight, the people who rep him back have heavier sticks. he shoots himself in the foot every time he negs somebody.

Berry gives more versatility as well, can play both stron and free safety.

Nice breakdown, DJ

If you compare their #'s for their first two years in college, they are very similar. Both guys are excellent ball hawks.

You can't look at Berry's INTs this year because Kiffen played him in the box and used him to support the run a lot more.

Berry is a little more physical and a better tackler in the open field. There were some reports saying Thomas wasn't good against the run, which I disagree with.

Thomas is a little less experienced than Berry.

IMO, both were top 10 talents in the draft.

Gotta say, though intended as an insult, it made me laugh.

I don't hardly neg rep anyone....

Really don't know how it works nor do I really care...I just +rep good stuff and neg rep bad stuff...

Berry learned Monte Kiffin's defense in one year flat, which required him to play as more of a box safety than a ball hawk over the downfield receiver routes. That's something he wasn't used to doing, but he still excelled at both learning the defense and DIRECTING it on the field as the season wore on. Look at Berry's previous two seasons and you'll catch the difference.

He's also bigger, faster, and has proven to be a solid football player his entire NCAA career. Earl Thomas really came on his senior year but was less of a sure thing.

That's my answer, at least. This IS a legitimate question, too. If you were to ask me something reeruned like comparing the impact of Dexter McCluster vs Toby Gerhart on the NFL, I would have told you to die in a fire.

People are far too obsessed with rep around here.

+rep!!

LOL thats what I was going for!

I try and get cheap laughs whenever I can...
