I loved Sharper as a Packer and still like watching him play.

Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.

That brings us back to the eternal question: which would be more satisfying, watching Favre or the Vikings (pick your enemy) lose the NFC Championship game or blow yet another SB? Personally I think the SB, but I am not sure I want to incur the risks involved in rooting for them to get that far.Originally posted by MOBB DEEPComment

It would be most satisfying to me if the Vikings lose the NFC Championship Game, and then the Saints go on to win the Super Bowl.Originally posted by hoosierChuck Norris doesn't cut his grass, he just stares at it and dares it to growComment

My local ties kind of force me to root for Indy, though the Saints would certainly have an appealing underdog thing going for them and it would be hard to be unhappy about them winning the SB.
How 'bout a very close NFC championship where the Vikings have NO on the ropes but then Favre throws it away at the very end. Deja vu all over again, as Yogi Berra would say.Comment

for some reason thats pretty funny to meOriginally posted by hoosier
the vikes have more talent and better balance but that home field advantage may spell their doom
however, dallas beat NO down in a game that had alot of importance for BOTH teams. NO fans hate dallas so im sure they were NEARLY as loud then as they will be sunday
and last time vikes played NO they won in spite of Bush getn it done i believeThey said God has a Tim Tebow complex!

Reminds me of Matt Millen doing color commentary on a Packer game in Sharper's first year as a starter: "Sharper must have failed Geometry in school because he always takes the wrong angle."Originally posted by pbmaxI can't run no more with that lawless crowd

My heart and mind both say the Saints. The dome is gonna be rocking and I still don't trust Favre/Chilly in a high-intensity amosphere on the road. If the Vikings come out and take an early lead though I definitely think they could pull it off.Originally posted by MOBB DEEP

Fans are enamored with the glitzy statistics. For DBs its interceptions. Sharper is an interceptions machine. No denying that. But playing safety is a lot more than just having good hands and playing for interceptions.
Teams making a playoff run usually cherish veteran leadership, and particularly in the D-backfield. Guys who have seen it all and can react as the last line of defense. Yet the Vikings, who knew Sharper well, and who were clearly assembling a team for a Super Bowl run, did not seem to have much interest in keeping him. Again, playing safety is a lot more than just having good hands and playing for interceptions.
As far as all-around play, Willie Wood was head and shoulders the best. Butler second, although Bobby Dillon, the Packers interceptions leader, bears consideration with Butler. Gremminger, Brown, Hart, Cecil, Murphy and Gray were good all-around safeties. Collins might end up in that group, too.
It's always difficult to compare present day to past, You can't even compare stats. For example, Dillon had 52 interceptions in 8 seasons, which in his time amounted to just 12 games per year. He had 52 interceptions playing in just 94 games out of a possible 96, the equivalent of 6 seasons today. Sharper played 121 of a possible 128 games, and had 36 interceptions for the Packers. Does that make Dillon better? As an "interceptor" I think it does. As an all-around safety, I don't know. I never saw Dillon play, no TV coverage for me in those days.
First Wood, then Butler and maybe Dillon. Sharper probably merits being near the top of the next, very large group listed above, but exactly where is hard to say. If I were assembling a team, I think I might prefer some of the others, but it is hard to say for sure.Comment

I will say this: I thought and still think Johnny Gray was a damn good safety. He cleaned up a lot of the crap in front of him. Sure tackler, smart, knew where to be in coverage. One of my Packer favorites.
Willie Wood was by far and away the best I've seen, though admittedly it was only once or twice on television plus the newspaper accounts I scoured. So that estimation is more from what I'd read and heard than anything else (My Dad and my uncle's discussions, which I'd listen to as a kid).
Leroy Butler probably the second best. But Johny Gray, don't forget him. He was good."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
