Add Dak and Fredbeard and almost half the starters made the list.

It HAS to translate to wins in January or it doesn't mean anything.

Yeah no reason why they shouldn't go as far as they did last year......probably should go further.

Who else has made a pro-bowl?

Last year? After Dak, none. So who are the other 3 you're talking about?

I said "about". Witten isn't that far removed from being a top TE. Quinn is one of the better DE in the league. Xavier Woods is one of the better safeties in the league.

Quinn hasn’t had 10 sacks in FIVE YEARS. Hes good, but he’s not top 200. What Jason Witten did in 2013 should be counted as part of the top 100 for 2019?

Here’s a game we can play:

Is Xavier Woods a superior safety to Tyrann Mathieu?

Is Xavier Woods a superior safety to Malcolm Jenkins?

Is Xavier Woods a superior safety to Landon Collins?

Is Xavier Woods a superior safety to Devin McCourty?

Is Xavier Woods a Superior safety to Adrian Amos?

Is Xavier Woods a Superior Safety to Lamarcus Joyner?

Not a single one of those safeties made the top 100. And I highly doubt the next 10 guys are all safeties. It’s even hard to believe 1 in every 10 is even a safety. So he’s not close.

Top 10 in salary, not a top 100 player. Explains the last 25 years or so.

You are so predictable. You just love to argue. You are arguing a point that was made on a dallascowboys.com podcast and I repeated. Just disregard it if you disagree.

No excuse for not being good this year.

Any yahoo that wants to argue Garrett still doesn’t have the talent to win should be laughed off this board.

Where would you rank Brandon Graham?

No offense but if the Cowboys podcast argued Witten was one of the better TEs in football, that whole segment should be dumped.

There isn’t a chance in hell Witten is close to a top TE and close to being a Top 100 player in the NFL.

Since an even distribution of the top 100 players would mean that each team would have roughly 3, the Cowboys having EIGHT (but still having the point differential of a .500 team the last two years) would seem to indicate something amiss. Either they are very top heavy, or their talent is wildly overstated (I would lean towards the latter).

No offense but that's offensive. If he isn't a great TE then why will he be in the Hall of Fame as one? Or do you dispute that as well? He has the opportunity this season to become the Cowboys all-time receiving leader. Don't let your dislike for Witten cloud your statements.

Hmm. He just made the list in 2017 as 93, and has had similar quality seasons since then, so the players feel he's around the cusp. That's fine, I'd never say he's a guy who should demand a 20m$ a year contract as most of the top 100 DE's would/do. Top 150 maybe? He's good at getting in the backfield with the mysterious 'pressures' stat and a great run defender.

EDIT: They also had Graham at 109 last year in their 'just missed' list

Fire407 · Jul 31, 2019

Dallas doesn't have any players in the top 10 that will be announced tonight. The Rams have two with Gurley and Donald. Of course Mahomes will be the number 1 player. It's supposed to be a projection of how players will perform this season, but the players just base their votes on last season.

I think Jerry might’ve had a hand in it for negotiation purposes. Just a hunch

Lot of talent. No excuses for Garrett. None!

I just hit the click from a Drudge header, say Tom Brady pulled a ranking of #6,,,which is his lowest rank placement since that top 100 list's inception

We’ve got talented players. No doubt about that.

The only thing holding the Cowboys back now (as well as the last few years) is coaching.

Witten will definitely be a Hall of Famer. But his performance this year will have about as much to do with that as his performance last year will.

I like the show. Is it a popularity contest? Yeah, a little. But 1,000 players vote.
