What a great tribute to Eric Decker that he would be on a list and on a par with these great receivers.

Yes, Crabtree is amazing. I couldn’t believe him the last 2 games.

gopherphan … Crabtree is a once-in-a-lifetime athlete for a school. No doubt. Will he be close to the top of the draft one day? No doubt.

I have called Decker the best college football player in the country. There is a lot of subtlety in that statement that needs to be explained.

In calling him that I readily admitted he will not win a Heisman, might not be All-American, and may or may not play on Sundays.

What it means is that Eric Decker embodies something that many future pro players may not — the heart and soul to be the best when he wasn’t considered the best, when he doesn’t play with the best team, when he’s not the biggest or fastest.

Decker does not have the physical ability of a Crabtree or Dez Bryant. He doesn’t have Graham Harrel to throw him the ball. He doesn’t have the Texas Tech offensive line to give his quarterback and day and a half to throw after the receiver has made several moves and screwed the defender into a wine bottle.

Decker doesn’t have Oklahoma, Texas, or Florida media to make him a rock star. He doesn’t play on a team that intimidates the opponent by stepping on the field.

Yet through all that, Decker catches footballs. He catches footballs that some of those guys could not. He gets open in a phone booth, gets the right yardage, and catches the ball. He competes and competes and never stops competing.

That is why I say, considering where Decker came from, his physical skills, his height, size, and speed, his team, his environment … considering all of that, his performance says he’s as good as any college player in America. For me, that makes him the best.

Go stick it, wrenbawl. Take your mental illness somewhere else.

These fools always buy it when I hijack somebody’s identity and make horse-crap comments. I’m so good at being a real name-calling bastard!

My primary goal over here is to disrupt things and try to bring this blog down. I want total thought control and I will go to any lengths. I have been diagnosed as a total sociopath and I will stop at nothing. I am Recruiter. I am jimbo. I am all kinds of people. I am one of the drunk-a-logue people over on gh.

I will bring this blog down. That IS my goal. It is too hard to control thought and expression on this board. I will go to what ever lengths I have to go to so that I may destroy any point of view other than my own. I am dac!
