[tomson75]

because it says top ten Cowboys. he hasnt done jack with us yet so untill he proves he belongs in the DAllas COWBOYS top ten he shouldnt be on the list.

Ummm...guess what. He IS a Dallas Cowboy. You saying he isn't, and that he needs to prove something doesn't change that. Your opinion doesn't mean squat.

Because based on past performance, he's one of the top ten performing players on the Dallas Cowboys. It shouldn't matter that he just became a member of the team....he's still part of it.

Their commentary on that NFL top 10 is quite revealing.

They say Merriman "is a force on every play," which play-by-play analyses have shown is far from true. For a guy who gets quite a few sacks, he gets very few pressures. According to Football Outsiders, when Merriman had 17 sacks in 2006, he had only five other QB hits and only 12 hurries (tied for 39th in the NFL). Ware had 11 hits and 25 hurries (sixth in the NFL) that season -- more than twice as many of each.

Bob Sanders "changes the game," even though he almost never makes any game-changing plays.

And Eli Manning gets put at No. 9 because he "won a Super Bowl," but Ben Roethlisberger has won a Super Bowl, too, and is a MUCH better quarterback, and he's not on the list.


Oh, and Flozell Adams is way too high on our top 10.

I keep preaching that the Giants coaching staff game planned to keep Eli from making mistakes and losing the game. He really was not much improved. Everyone seems to forget the numerous would-be interceptions that he threw that the Patriots dropped throughout the game, including the ones on the final drive.

He should be....but the easy answer to your question would be "market value".
