Highlight to the right for who is who: Samuel, Law & Revis.
Yes I think he is close to a HOFer and I hope he makes it.Close to what? HOF? Are you joking? He had a couple good seasons but was overall very mediocre. There were at least 20 corners in his generation that were clearly better and probably more like 50.
He has the same chance i do.Yes I think he is close to a HOFer and I hope he makes it.
Only great “CB” BB ever drafted?
Weird question for him to ask, but he’s probably right.
If you count Devin as a safety... then the list dwindles to Logan Ryan? Ellis Hobbs?
Congrats Asante. You were, in fact, better than Logan Ryan and Ellis Hobbs.
I agree he was a big hitter and he made some great plays for the Pats. But the question is, is he HOF type material? 2006 was his only good year as a starter in my opinion. He struggled in 2007, getting beat by some mediocre WR's throughout the season and then failing to ice the game late in the 4th quarter. Had he caught Manning's pass, he'd be a legend in Boston. And why he thought leaving Tyree was a good idea is something I'd like to know. Manning would've probably taken a sack had Samuel at least been near Tyree. He really let his team down with those two plays.He was so much better than people want to admit. Tackling was never an issue when he was with us and teams threw in his area at their own risk. He was also great for the eagles the first few years and almost singlehandedly won their playoff game against the giants his first year there all while still being a ball hawk. He was done after he basically destroyed his groin. And for a guy that is criticized for tackling, he has some of the most vicious hits I've seen from a corner. I remember monster hits from him on guys like ronnie brown and Broncos te Jeb Putzier if I remember his name correctly. etc.
The closest player I have seen to him in all these years is Janoris Jenkins.
Merriweather's pass was inexcusable. The pass was sort of high for Samuel, but I think it was more of a mistimed jump. He should've caught it.Was his interception miss really that easy? I mean he could have made it but I don't recall it was a gimme pick.
It's long ago and I only watched once but I thought I recalled Meriweather dropping an easier pass.

Players whose career overlapped his. That’s less than 2 per team over a 12(?) year period.What!? Please tell me that statement is just extreme hyperbole, and not your actual opinion. Because that's just complete and utter nonsense; there's no way fifty CBs in the same generation were better than Asante Samuel. Hell, even 20 is seriously pushing it. But 50? That's an even dumber statement than claiming Asante is HOF worthy (and he's not even in the discussion, imo). Unless you are stretching the word "generation" to the extreme, or something...
So, I happened to catch Samuel's twitter in the past few days and if you want a good laugh, you should go see it..
He believes that he's a 1st Ballot HOFer.
He believes that he's one of the best corners in Pats history, but also one of the best ever.
He points to his 10 interception year of 2006 as an indicator.
He believes he's the only "great" CB that Belichick has ever drafted..
