I guess us in VA, or at least outside of Texas, are the only ones able to calmly step back from ONE REGULAR SEASON GAME and examine a body of work.

which Brady is. Brady put up GOOD NUMBERS for years WITHOUT a good supporting cast, e ially last year. Meanwhile, Peyton has a HOF in Harrison, and great players like Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, and Joseph Addai. And I'm a ing Cowboys fan, but Brady is still great.

I guess we'll agree to disagree old friend, but...
Marbury and Whitney were better than Parker at the time. No one knew how good Parker would get. The Whitney example was hyperbole to prove a point, by the way. And Paul is better now and is just as young as Parker.
That is a strong statement about Manning. The only year he had a credible defense, Manning won the le. Brady has had the luxury of being in the perfect system. It's easy to hit WRs when you have all day back there.
I will concede this: sometimes it is no about being the best individual talent; it's about being the best fit for your respective team.
Brady and Parker thrive on their le teams... they succeed and put up fantastic numbers.
But I really do believe that Manning and Paul are better players.
Trading Parker for Paul, if that were even possible, would make sense if the Spurs were trying to build toward becoming a championship team in two years.
However, they are trying to win championships right now, so keeping the guy who already is integrated into the system makes more sense.
Would you rather have "better players" or "championships"?
Question.
which is easy for any true Spurs fan to answer.
which is also why I was so surprised that this was even being discussed. No major moves need to be made until Duncan retires, AS A SPUR.

Why do these two things have to be mutually exclusive?
But of course, I want championships.
In my mind, you get championships with better players.
Pure talent is not the only factor for determining who is "best" for a particular team.
Parker is a proven commodity on the Spurs. You know they can win championships with him at point guard.
With Paul... you don't know that. You hope that. You figure since he's more talented you could win with him too. But you're taking a chance with how he's going to blend in with the current nucleus, and how long that might take.
Why take the chance if you're already winning with the guy you have?
Suns have better players across the board than the Spurs.
So did the Mavs in 2003 and 2005.
seeing what Parker has done for Chandler, West, Peja...
what do you think he could do with Duncan, Manu, Oberto, Finely, Barry, Udoka.....
Parker is much more accomplished than Paul. At the end of the year when TP wins a 4th championship in 7 years in the league you will (who discount Parker's rare ability to shape the game as much or more than Paul with his speed and shooting percentage matched only by Nash).
Parker > Paul.
It's easy to win championships with TD.
If win is the main reason to be better then I guess
Finley>Lebron.
Right now Paul is better than Parker.I'm watching the game against Denver and he's playing like the best Nash.23 pts 17 assist 9 reb
cp3 is for real
if he ends up on a team with a dominant low post player, somoene like d12 or al jeff, or put him on the bobcats, championships is possible....
STUPID thread.
CP3 is currently the best PG in the league. Why the would NO trade him for anyone?
As for TP, he's sick and injured and should be resting, so people should lay the off him.
DUMB all around.
Two words... ing moron.
because tp has proven he can lead this spurs to the promise land and perform in finals
the point guard postion is not the weakest postion on this team
other postions needs help first
Parker is a good individual scorer but thats it.
Yeah, I'm so sure New Orleans trades Chris Paul. He owns this city. He is the Hornets.
Tony's a great PG and all, having a bit of a rough year, but there's no way the Hornets take him for Paul.
Shoot, the Hornets are the best thing we have going right now. The Saints sucked this year.
Oh yes, we have Mardi Gras. Forgot about that for a moment.
New Orleans deserves something good for once... I'm happy for them.
There is no place during Mardi Gras like New Orleans. Nowhere.
Tourists, just stay out of ... Treme, Bywater, Central City, Algiers by the parish line, any and all projects, Mid-City, and the 6th, 7th, and Lower 9th at night. Keep your revelry confined to the safer areas, like the CBD, Warehouse District, Lakeview, and Jefferson Parish (Metairie & Gretna).
The Hornets can't get anybody to come to their games. Second-lowest in attendance.
How about loyalty to players who won 3 les in 5 years for your team !
You are so spoiled ! Shame on you ! That's disgusting !
A real fan support his team in good AND bad days.
They have nothing to prove, they already won 3 les last 5 years.
I respect them for that... Whatever happen in playoffs this year.
That's my team !!!
You need to go back 2000+ years and bring up a character of a fairy tale to try put down Manu, yet, you will not succeed, Manu is even more influential than the Beatles!
Wait, this is not the Ditka thread??
He's killing us again
So what.
