Anyone else still think Samuel is overrated

[BradyFTW!]

I agree. Not a huge fan of Samuel (I think he's good, but not for the amount of money he's going to get), and I do think that you could make an argument that, in the types of defense that the Pats like to play, Hobbs is nearly as good.

wow a pats fan who thinks cro is better than asante, you must be of the opinion that samuel is a goner

Now be fair. I didn't actually say Cromartie was better. I said ARGUABLY. Given that he was a rookie and mostly made his name off of an awful game by Manning and a long return of a field goal, I would probably slot him in the "too soon to tell" pile, although I think he had a better overall year than Samuel did.

As for the notion of Samuel being a goner, I look at past history. Ty Law was a far better player than Samuel, but he didn't get the cash from BB (it was there from the previous era). If Samuel wants to squeeze out every dollar, I expect he'll be playing for someone besides the Patriots next season.

someone really needs to settle this debate with some major league stats
