I read your post, too, so no need to threaten to relist them...Oh, and by my definition Ben and Harrison's titles trump Peyton and Haynesworth's titles.

I’m more than willing to listen to what others have to say. But by your definition the Steeler’s long snapper is more of an impact player than Peyton Manning.

Ridiculous.

I named two that were far and away more impact than two on his list. Go re-read my post. If you can’t figure out the two I listed, I might just list them for you again.

I can’t name one that has had more impact than Moss. But there are impact players from the SEC that are WR’s.

Biggest problem with you; you can only work with your own definition. Others' definitions are ridiculous. You started the name calling, and now wanna be the voice of reason. Nice. Put it with the fish, you know where...

You provide a huge list of SEC players only to fail in naming three that outpaced JoeSixPat's list. You say that Harvin and others have the potential to be better than Moss. That doesn't cut it.

I say that you have the potential to be a world class turd burglar.

Oh, go ahead and stick that ridiculous fish back up your ridiculous ass.

What’s your malfunction man?

My definition of impact:

Any impact player must be at least one and preferably most if not all of the following:

1) Individually if you get the records for yardage or scoring (i.e. Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Dan Marino)

2) Individually if you change the nature by which your position is played (i.e. Michael Vick (arguable), Peyton Manning, Lawrence Taylor, Roger Craig)

3) If you inspire others to play great around you (Ray Lewis, John Elway, Joshua Cribbs)

4) If the player’s absence (includes taking plays off) would be felt and potentially cause wins to come much tougher or losses to occur (Mike Baab, Randy Moss, Emitt Smith)

5) If just saying the name inspires fear in other players and fans (Jim Brown, Mean Joe Greene, Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, Joshua Cribbs)

A single impact player is not likely to get you to, or win you the super bowl. But several impact players certainly can and will.

Sorry for busting on your fish and your ass Thaak, that was a cheap shot. I don't take kindly to being called ridiculous, which I think was also a cheap shot.

c-dawg said:

You haven't listed three players from the last ten years (or even from the same conference) either. Play JoeSixPat's game right.

And, yes, by my criteria Ward outranks Moss, doesn't he? Count the rings, that's why people play the game, not individual stats. The Steelers definitely agree Ward had more impact. Oh, yeah, you picked a SB MVP for your example, talk about impact.

In fairness to Moss he did put the Pats up with 2:50 to go in LXII before Eli got lucky.

So, to compare apples and apples, I think you should go find three guys from the same college conference who excelled at their positions with more rings for the last decade. No fair listing long snappers.

Otherwise define what you mean by impact so that I might have access to where you are coming from.

Also, ridiculous? Up your ass with ridiculous. Or maybe you could just shove that fish in your avatar up there.

Um, my huge list from above, are all SEC players. Check it out. Read that whole post and I actually do pick 3 players specifically to compare.

in your opinion=Dan Marino=not a good QB since he doesnt have any rings

Rings: What your boyfriend bought at the jewelry store for your upcoming marriage.

Cuz Peyton throws to himself, Fred Taylor blocks for himself and Javon Kearse outmaneuvers the Oline all by himself. Oh yeah, and they coached themselves too and called all their own plays. Right.

"Individual on their own" is generally an impossibility in football, except for things like yards after a catch. It's a team sport there sport.

I notice you love to try to curtail discussions when you think you have a trump card. I don't think you are playing with a full deck, however.

Also, you said: "exept that logic has a huge flaw, by your logic Dan Marino never made an impact in the NFL"

Again, Dan Marino hasn't played in the last decade which was the point to JoeSixPat's challenge. Can you even focus or do you not know what decade means?

@thaak said:

On my list, Hines Ward has just as many rings as his two Steeler teammates in the original list. I wouldn’t even put him close to Moss’s impact though.

If I’m not mistaken, Moss was not on any of the Patriot championship teams? So does that mean by your criteria that Ward has had more impact than Moss? Ridiculous.

Thaak. I defined impact for my reply. What's your definition? Stick your neck out too. Naysaying is too easy and I thought you were above that from your other posts. I have been wrong before though.

hm that was pretty easy

any more questions?

Impact for me ultimately means championships. The list BuckeyeBest2 gave has far less rings than JoeSixPat's list. Joe's list has had more impact.

JosephSixpack said:

Name 3 players from the almighty SEC who've been bigger impact pros this decade than Roethlisberger, James Harrison and Randy Moss.

Peyton Manning, Fred Taylor (about 12,000 Rushing yard to moss 14,000 Recieving yards at a position yards are easier to get seeing how they have 1 or 2 maybe at most 3 defenders while a RB has between 3-9 defenders at a time), Javon Kearse

hm that was pretty easy

any more questions?

Antwan Odom

Chris Samuels

Jamaal Anderson

Tony Ugoh

Karlos Dansby

Ronnie Brown

Carnell Williams

Rob Bironas

Brandon Jacobs

Fred Taylor

Jevon Kearse

Champ Bailey

Marcus Stroud

Hines Ward

Joseph Addai

Dwayne Bowe

Alan Faneca

Kevin Mawae

Deuce McAllister

Eli Manning

Patrick Willis

Donald Lee

Eric Moulds

Fred Smoot

Johnathan Joseph

Sidney Rice

Jamal Lewis

Jason Witten

Peyton Manning

John Henderson

Albert Haynesworth

and that's just of the 264 starters off the 2007 NFL active day rosters.

Pick any 3 you like... I happen to like Peyton over Big Gay Ben, Haynesworth over Harrison, and while you may have a point on Moss... Bowe, Harvin, and Rice have a chance to be better.

He pretty much caused the Iowa game to be close all by himself....that and the kick return breakdown, which for OSU has turned into an epidemic.

finally, someone else sees the light! i have a close circle of about 5 buckeye friends, and everyone says Chekwa has the ability to be an NFL corner. I replayed the Iowa game and literally EVERY play iowa made for scores was on Chekwa getting burned. He is beyond garbage. Teams will run 4 receiver sets with 3 on one side, and immediately look on the short side the Chekwa is guarding. Jim knows it too, but for some reason he keeps him on the field. Worst corner i've seen play there EVER, i mean that seriously.

No joke, watching ohio state and Chekwa turned into a gamble every week with my friends. If he blew more than 5 plays, they bought the beer. I won 5 times.

i think it's unfair to put harrison in there. i mean he's been really good the last couple of years but but he was unheard of until he slammed that browns fan in 2005 when he was on special teams.
