Burger King's Top 50 Players

[DaBoys4Life]

What's the connection between King and the Texans?

nothing however gotta over hype them #1 picks.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

If Terrell Owens is the 43rd best player in the NFL then Randy Moss better be ranked 42

Fixed

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Wes Welker ahead of T.O.???????????????????????????????????

Shoot him.

Peter King isn't the smartest apple on the tree, you know... You'll have to excuse his so called football expertise.

The Defensive End rankings...

8. Mario Williams, Texans
9. Jared Allen, Vikings
14. Julius Peppers, Panthers
23. Osi Umenyiora, Giants
24. Patrick Kerney, Seahawks
29. Justin Tuck, Giants
32. Aaron Kampman, Packers
37. Dwight Freeney, Colts

How in the bleep bleep did Mario Williams top this group???

Williams actually had a really good year last year. Can't complain about him being on the list, but he might be a bit too high. I'd put Allen and Osi and maybe Kampman above Williams. Probably Peppers to the bottom of that group followed by Tuck.

The Cornerback rankings...

20. Champ Bailey, Broncos
25. Antoine Winfield, Vikings
45. Nnamdi Asomugha, Raiders

If Winfield and Asomugha are better than Newman, I'm Jessica Simpson. King should have his butt kicked for thinking this mess up.

I'd rate Asomugha and Newman equally. He also had a really good year last year. Winfield has never been better than Newman, tho I do think he's a pretty good player.

Wes Welker and Calvin Johnson better then TO ooook... :laugh2:

 

[Rack]

I don't know why people make a big deal out of these things. Burger King is a journalist, not a football expert. His opinion on who the best 50 players in the NFL are is not better than my dog's opinion.


A football coach can have an opinion on who the 50 best sports writers are, but it doesn't make him right or anywhere near right.

 

[percyhoward]

4 offensive linemen on the list, 11 defensive linemen

8 of the top 10 players are offensive players

Highest rated LB is only the 15th best player.

This guy MUST be a HOF voter.

[NoLuv4Jerry]

how does Peter King retain a job as a football authoritarian with the stupidity he shows on a consistent basis? How does Julius Peppers not fall of this list enitrely? Clearly the Panthers are not convinced which is why they have not given him his money! And how does Carson Palmer continue to be given the benefit of the doubt? Part of being a big time baller is having the respect of your teamates and being a leader! And to think this guy and way to many others like him actually decide who gets in and who gets left out of the HOF!

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

This is so ****ed its hard to know where to start.

But whats even better is last years rankings.

the average fan was well aware of Jared Allen, Tuck, Braylon Edwards, Kerney for a few years now


Then you see how he totally had no idea how good Westbrook(96), Bob Sanders(196!?) were until it was shoved in his face last year.

And he still has a bunch of stuff flat out wrong.

 

[jobberone]

They left Zack off. I knew this guy would be an upgrade. But dang. I didn't know he was this good.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

And somehow Peter King has a job as a football writer.






YAKUZA

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Who did he have at #5 last year that fell out completely?

 

[percyhoward]

Who did he have at #5 last year that fell out completely?

That would be #55 for the Skins

 

[Rack]

And somehow Peter King has a job as a football writer.

What does being a football writer have to do with evaluating talent?


Since when do you have to know ANYTHING about football to write about football?

Bob Sanders at 196 sounds about right.

[DR.WARE]

[Givincer]

Eli Manning is a better football player than Terrell Owens? By 15 places? Oh. Glad someone let me know.

Wow, this list means a whole lot it looks like...

 

[ddh33]

Yikes. Is he really not better than this?
