Funny as frick dude. How many threads did you read last year on the tigerrant claiming PP7 is the next Deion, Charles Woodson, Champ Bailey, etc.?

Imagine what would happen if I started a thread saying was Derrick Thomas overrated?

Updyke Nation would begin by trying to shoot me then get so upset they would shoot themselves. Then they would accuse me of being insensitive in the wake of his untimely demise. Then tell everyone how no one will ever be like DT and his playing of rover is different than anyone who ever played the game.

I admire DT and can admit he was great. You know what else I can admit, he did things on the football field at linebacker that no one really did or does today. Kind of like Mathieu [does in the secondary].

Sorry to get the Mathieu filth all over your DT. He's a different type of player. The criticisms that on November 5 he didn't shut down every single thing on the field is ridiculous. He's come up big more often then he comes up small. He lost a guy against R-Kansas last year. Then this year, completely raped them. To be a great player isn't to be great every single time you're called on. Bama fans that hold Mathieu to that standard and no one else are obviously trolling.
