    Champ Bailey.

    Why is everyone in love with Champ Bailey?

    I would much rather have either one of my Packers corners.

    Al Harris and Charles Woodson.

    Champ is great, but may or not be the best corner in the NFL. Even if he is or ever was, he never was more than 2% or 3% better than the next guy. That's a huge difference than Deion Sanders back in the day. I think that's where all the hype comes from, everyone wants the next Deion. Sadly, there will never be another Deion, same as there will never be another Michael Jordan despite how badly the NBA needs one.

    Maybe its just the nagging injury making Champ lose a step, but I personally would prefer Asante Samuel playing for me. He's younger and very talented.

    He's been battling nagging injuries all year. In addition, he like to gamble a lot which makes him vulnerable to the deep pass, the injuries have slowed him and his closing speed this year.

    C-Wood's the most underrated defensive player in the league. It was a joke he didn't make the Pro Bowl last year.

    As a Packer's fan, I appreciate Woodson's contribution for the team. But, I kinda like the fact that this defense is underrated & unsung. I think it can get to be a burden, with such huge expectations week after week such as the Bears have had. It's actually incredible that Favre carries the whole of the criticism on this team over the last few years, the rest of the players can kinda relax and just play. Quite a luxury on such a young team. Yet another reason to be a Favre fan.
