    I haven't heard this saying in forever. Thank you.

    Players Top 100 List

    And this is where I agree with both of you. Only a few teams have one DB that could take Jackson out of a game. Everyone else will have to double up on him and those are games the Eagles will usually win because it just makes it easier on the offense. But some teams already mentioned have figured it out and I expect other teams to follow their model. I also agree if Vick works as hard as he did last season the Eagles will have a fine playoff run.

    Players Top 100 List

    I know what he said and he's right. But if you can have 1 CB or 1 safety covering Jackson the whole game and does a damn good job at it. If the rest of the defense can do their jobs Jackson has a small impact. Sure he opens the running lanes but if the DE can get off his block and make the tackle like he's paid to do then Jackson isn't helping much at all. Of course, that can't happen everytime because the offense has a job to do also. But if it could happen everytime Jackson has almost no impact. Just because one player requires being covered doesn't mean his team is going to succeed. If you have a CB that can cover Jackson all game and do it well, I say you have a damn good chance at winning that game. But that's why Jackson is on the top 100, because every team doesn't have that. When the Eagles played Green Bay, who we all know Green Bay has some damn good defensive backs, Jackson had 4 receptions for 30 yards and no TD's. Who won that game? Green Bay. He's a non-factor when a team has someone that can cover him. At Jacksonville: 5 receptions for 135 yards and 1 TD. Can anyone even name a DB in Jacksonville? The Eagles won that one. What I'm saying is exactly what these games show, have a good DB and Jackson will be a non-factor and you will have a good shot at winning. Have no DBs you're probably gonna lose to the Eagles. And you can say he opens running lanes and requires coverage every play and that's awesome and sure that's an impact and a good one but if your team can shut down Jackson like Green Bay did and play a pretty sound defensive game which Green Bay had some trouble that game, but if you can you have a helluva shot at taking that game which Green Bay did and went on to the Superbowl. Edit: I'm not really saying he shouldn't be on the top 100. But he shouldn't be this high. If he was more consistent and played like he can against anyone I wouldn't mind putting him in the top 20. But, as I said earlier in the post if one guy can take him out of the game and the rest of the defense plays well you can beat the Eagles just like the Packers did. YES, Jackson has an impact in every game. YES, he opens running lanes and take out 1-2 guys from a play but if you prep for him and everything he can cause it's scary but it can be done and it has been done and I predict it will continue to be done in the next couple of years.

    Players Top 100 List

    But the thing is, most guys here at TGP aren't just analyzing the stats like most fans, and that's what I love the most about this place. Just about everybody here is football smart and can see for themselves the impact a player has on the game. No doubt DeSean Jackson is brought up a lot when a team is prepping for the Eagles. He's a fast, deep threat and if you don't account for him he WILL beat you. Most teams see this and they know that so if they stop the long ball DeSean Jackson doesn't have much of an impact on the game. And even if we are just looking at stats they can tell you a lot about the player. DeSean Jackson, to me, is a one trick pony and that is the long ball. He had an average of 22.5 YPC last year. When compared to complete WR's such as Andre Johnson, Roddy White and Fitz, Jackson has less than half of the receptions they get in a year and only about 100/200 yards less. Again that tells you he's just a deep threat, going long every play. DeSean has a higher YPC by 10-8 yards, but less TD's besides Fitz where they have the same at 6. DeSean has 21 catches for over 20 yards and 8 for more than 40. That accounts for more than half of his receptions. DeSean Jackson DEFINES a one trick pony for me, and if you just watch a game you'll see it also. If the opposition just takes that away he is a sub-par WR. Overall he has less of an impact on his team winning than an Andre Johnson a Roddy White or a Larry Fitzgerald. Again, if the defense just takes that aspect away and everyone on the defense can do their jobs perfectly, DeSean has little to no impact on the game and he wouldn't be close to a top 100 spot.

    Favorite player on your Team, Division, and NFL

    Least favorites: Team: Eric Wright. GTFO OUT OF THE LEAGUE Division: Ben Roethlisberger. He's good...I'd probably say someone else if he didn't magically get out of 10 sacks a game but he just kicks our ass most of the time. NFL: DeSean Jackson. I don't like your jerk-off name. I don't like your jerk-off face. I don't like your jerk-off behavior, and I don't like you. Jerk-off.

    Car question

    If you get it from Honda yeah it's gonna cost more, because they're gonna do it just like a brand new car, just rolled off the assembly line. My suggestion would again to find a local professional shop that does paint/body repair besides Macco. If you can find one that offers a lifetime guarantee that's even better. But I'd say from a place like that, 1-2 maybe 3 grand. I got paint job done years ago and I got it on discount because I knew the person that owned the shop so mine was about 15 hundred it was in the 22 hundred range before discount. But yeah, paint job costs range vastly from place to place. Just shop around and try to find a professional place to do it right for a good price or you'll regret it later. Or, like Durant said, learn to like silver. Good luck with it bro.

    Car question

    It really depends where you go for a paint job and how much your willing to pay. I wouldn't suggest going to Macco because they don't do it right. You gotta find a shop that specilizes in auto body painting because they'll sand down the original paint and add layers unlike Macco where they'll just spray over the shit that's already there and it'll start chipping in 2 weeks. A good, factory new painting could go from 1-2 thousand but if you know some people you could get it done for 5-7 bills.

    Car question

    I think you should take the deal he's offering. If the color really bothers you that much, you could have it painted for a couple hundred and save quite a bit of money.

    Who's better?

    Champ Bailey. Hands down, I think. Battle of the Backups: Rex Grossman vs. Marc Bulger

    Kirwan ranks the corners...

    Joe "Hayden" as Kirwan calls him is better than McCourty. I hate the McCourty super hype. Anyways, Finnegan is to high, Flowers and Winfield are to low.

    Top 10 most disappointing playoff teams

    If the Marty Chiefs are #1 I don't see how the 80's Browns aren't on this list. Makes no sense to me though. Especially with the ways we lost in those games. But I guess it's actually better if were not on it so whatever, I'm happy.

    'Jackass' Star Ryan Dunn Dies In Car Crash

    I read they didn't know who was driving the car so whoever it was may not have been drinking but chances are they were. This is the shit that happens when you make those choices. Unfortunate but again that's what happens.

    Who's better?

    Bryant, no doubt. A bit of a trouble maker but he can play. Joe Haden or Devin McCourty?
