Again with the Probowl measure. I recall Mike Vick being a Pro bowl QB too.

Yes, some undeserving people make the Pro Bowl every year... but DESERVING people, if they play in the league as long as Jansen and Thomas have, eventually get their day in Hawaii...

But I think you already know that, you're just too stubborn to admit that you exaggerated JUST a little when you called Jansen one of the best RTs in the game...

even just top 10 at their positions qualify them as among the best (which was my original point as far as Jansen).

Being the tenth best of 32 starters doesn't make you "among the best" in my book...

If somehow, Jansen would be released tomorrow for salary cap reasons, guess what?

He would be the biggest bum in the NFL and was not worth the money he was getting paid. Also, his play got worse and he is really no good anymore.

We have seen it all from you RedStinks...over, and over, and over and over...

:rolleyes:

Y'know, if one of these Skins fans came in here with insulting nicknames for the Boys (on the NFC East Rantatorium, they used to refer to the Boys consistently as the "Turds"), he'd be banned...

Perhaps we should find a way with arguing with them that doesn't involve the use of juvenile insults like "RedStinks"...

I've been using that name for a long time now, Silver...sorry, it's ingrained into me...

Ahh I kinda like RedStinks, Foreskins, DeadSkins and any other name they can be called. This is a Boyz board, those things are gonna happen. Relax a lil!!!!

Losing Jansen for the Commanders would be like losing Woodson was for the Cowboys. He was one of the best yet didnt always get his proper respect across the league.

I know, he's a good player, I'm just saying that if he were to be cut tomorrow, you guys would be calling him "no good anymore"...kinda stuff.

Been there, done that...

Personally, I'd rather beat 'em down with my undeniably superior football knowledge... but if you don't have that going for ya, if insults are all the game you've got, knock yourself out... LOL...

I try to save my insults for people who have insulted me first... or at least, people I THINK are insulting me (I have opened fire unfairly in the past, and regretted doing so)...

Dude who cares if I say "yall" or Y'all"? Whats the difference? You know what I mean and what in the hell does it have to do with this conversation... Unbelievable!! I didn't know that this board was english class...

Certainly isnt English class. I was just pointing out that you seem like a fraud by even using the term "y'all". Your brother is a better fan than you are, and thats saying something, since you always seem to bash him when he tries to make a point.

10th out of 32 sounds like its among the best to me. Not saying elite, not saying greatest, just saying he is among the current best. Thats over 66 % of the guys in the league that he is better than (at his position).

Chuckle... look at you, comparing a FIVE TIME Pro Bowler to a guy who's still looking for his first... a man with three Super Bowl rings to a man with none...

Care to offer us a second, hopefully better, comparison??

When have I personally done that ?
Surely some guys will try to bash, but I dont think it would be many at all, at least not enough to make such a generalization.

There are fan boys of many players in this league. Look among your allies. Carter fans still exist here, and lets not forget Bledsoe to the hall.

Again with the Pro Bowl reference.

Mentioning Arrington and Taylor as Pro Bowlers should be enough. Throw in Vick and Romo and its a wrap.

And 33 per cent that he's NOT better than...

"One of the best", when you're talking about a sampling size of 32 starters around the league, is more like one of the 3 or 4 best, not one of the 10 best...

If I played in a golf tournament (I was a club pro for about 15 years in a younger day) that had 32 players in the field, and came in 10th, would I be one of the best players in that tournament??

Means he is better than nearly 70% of the rest of the guys at his position. Therefore pretty good.

Pro Tourneys coming in tenth sounds pretty good to me.

How did we go from the topic of the silly restructuring that lil Danny does to who's the better fan, me or my brother... What the hell are you talking about... Get a clue!!!

He costs too much for his lack of performance. Sounds a lot like a certain LB56 from last season that the Skins got blasted for releasing.

He sure got alot worse in your eyes in 8 months.

I love the way Lil Danny operates and I hope he doesn't change a thing. He has the highest paid coaching staff and one of if not the highest paid team in the league and he won 5 games.. He's won nothing since he bought the team. Absolutely NOTHING!!!!!! Like I said, I love his work!!!!

Whether you like it or not, for active players appearances in the Pro Bowl is the measuring stick for excellence...

All those guys who you say are undeserving but still made the Pro Bowl only make it WORSE that Thomas and Jansen, who you say are among the best at their position, never have made it...

Sometimes, undeserving players get in... but DESERVING players ALWAYS make it at least a time or two over the course of their careers...
