CBS: Top 50 NFL Players (Prisco)

[SkinsandTerps]

Hard to judge the top 50 players really.

What do people use as their criteria ?

I would think that most of us would rate players completely differently, and not only that, but that some players would be left off of peoples list.

Take his list and re-order it and then make another list with players you think were ignored/dissed/under-rated/etc.

For example, my top player would be either Tomlinson or Palmer. But thats just my opinion.

Players like Roaf dont make the list (not counting "just missed") when he is partly responsible for the success of LJ and even Green with an average WR corps...

Taylor at 26 and Williams not even listed? Yeah, that's a joke.

Brian Urlacher at #8? HAHAHA

And that's not a diss to Taylor at all. Hell he probably should be top 50, but so should Williams. Taylor is hell of a player, but so is Williams.

The Answer thinks this alleged 'top 50' list is absurb....how is Moss listed ahead of TO???

Also how can not include Drew Bledsoe among the top 10 players in the league right now at any position? It's a travesty he's not even in the top 50!

We should make a list of the top 50 reporters...Starting with people like Vela and Jaws that actually look at and analyse film, break it down and give us prespective and not just talking points...Or just ramble on about their daughter's softball team...Dale and AdamJT would make my list also.

 

[morasp]

and some of these guys he has on his list started playing big last year and are only going to get better, so why isn't Terrance Newman on the list then? he was only the best CB in all of football last year

I would take Newman over Bailey any day. Bailey got torched on multiple occasions last year.

I agree! Newman didn't give up any touchdowns last year. He's clearly the better/best cover corner - he just dosn't make a lot of highlight plays.

 

[burmafrd]

Jackson? WHAT has he done? NOTHING. Taylor ahead of Williams? a joke.
This is without a doubt the dumbest list yet- and that is saying a LOT.

 

[austintodallas]

How does Roy not make this list? Completely invalidates the whole thing. Prisco is truly an idiot.

 

[dbair1967]

What a total joke.

yep...what he said

Prisco continues to be one of the worst NFL writers...not only are his columns usually a joke, but he has shwon again he has no hope whatsoever to be a talent evaluator

If it had more Cowboys on it, the board would be singing the praises of Prisco right now.

Not at all. Prisco is a joke. In the honorable mention section he mentions Todd Heap. What does Jason Whitten have to do to get any recognition? I'd take Whitten over Heap any day.

 

[InmanRoshi]

4. Champ Bailey, CB, Broncos: There is no better cover corner in the league. He can take away the other team's best receiver. Don't believe the nonsense that he isn't the best at his position. And his position has a premium value to it.

It has so much premium value and Prisco only listed one in his entire Top 50.

 

[bigdrulez3141]

But he does have Ken Lucas in his 'Just Missed' list

 

[MossBurner]

Merriman made it but Ware didn't? Geez ... someone isn't paying attention.

Maybe it's you.

 

[MossBurner]

it's funny how 3 safeties with less stats made the list over Roy, I agree with the Ed Reed choice

FS is a different position than SS and results in far different statistical categories. Stats are not always the true measure of ability or impact, especially in the defensive backfield.

 

[superpunk]

Ware had more plays that resulted in negative yardage than Shawne Merriman

He had more than any LB in the league.

We know what the score is...Taylor at 26. Hilarious.

 

[MossBurner]

Tom Brady is a heck of a QB, but he is no where near the 2nd best player in the league.

Worst list ever.

What are you talking about? Brady and Manning are the best players in the league bar none. All other QBs are miles below them.

There are 10 great RBs in this league as compared to two QBs.

He wasn't even a top 14 QB last year, what league did you watch?

 

[MossBurner]

Heap and 'Witten' are very similar players. Baltimore fans would argue differently than you.

 

[superpunk]

Good lord - I just noticed that Mike Vick and Steven Jackson were on this list - WOW.
