Okay, I know quite a few of you wish he would go away with all the Patriots talk involving him possibly coming back, but that's not what I want to discuss. My issue is simple, how the f*ck did Champ Bailey make the top 25 team and not Law? I acknowledge that Champ is a heck of a football player and a complete corner, but c'mon. I'm sure you all know what Law accomplished, regardless of the fact that he's a shell of himself now.
Statistically, he's better. Admittedly not by much, but still better. But far beyond statistics, look at what the guy did in the playoffs. He terrorized Peyton Manning, he is one of two players (I believe) with a pick-six in a SB, and he would consistently shut down his side of the field for many seasons, especially the playoffs where it seemed like he just took his game to another level. I'll never forget watching him pointing the exact route that Harrison was going to run and then making a ridiculous one-hand INT grab over his shoulder. How many playoff appearances has Champ Bailey even had in his career? Does none of that warrant consideration? He's been an All-Pro and Pro Bowler multiple times. I don't know. I just don't get it. Can anyone explain it to me?
