NFL Network's Top 100 Players for 2018

[TellerMorrow34]

lol

Pretty sure Nick Foles should not be a top 100 player

No doubt.

But this list has had people on it before that didn't even play but 1 or 2 games the prior season. Which makes zero sense to me. Even if they are great players if they only played a couple games the prior season I have a hard time seeing them on a top 100 list.

we messed up not drafting Wagner, I was thinking about it yesterday that Vander Esch is the replacement for missing out on Wagner and Ryan Shazier(healthy version of course).

One of my least favorite draft moves by Dallas in a decade.

We traded our 1st round pick
AND
our 2nd (which could be used for Wagner) ....

for Mo Claiborne.

That was a phenomenal draft year for linebackers.

The best offensive guard in the NFL also came in that draft.

Here's the list so far for the Top 100 players as voted on by the players. This is supposed to be for 2018, but as always the previous year's performance skews the results heavier than it is supposed to. Joe Thomas, OT, Browns made the list, but his retirement disqualified him. That moved the #101 player, Clinton-Dix, into the Top 100.

This list is an absolute joke. Russell Wilson is the 11th best player in the league??? Also, how many coaches and GM’s would take Mark Ingram or Shady McCoy over Ezekiel Elliott?

I can't figure if you think Wilson should be ranked higher or lower.

 

[AtlCPA]

Lower. He’s a good QB, but he’s not elite.

 

[Xelda]

I don't know what the grading scale was for the players to put them in this order. Thank you @CPanther95 for highlighting our players. I disagree with the list based on the placement of our players and a few others that I know are far better than their numbers.

 

[CPanther95]

They teased how many QBs were left...4 remain in the top 10. Has to be Wentz, Brees, Rodgers, and Brady

add in AB, Bell, Watt, Gurley, Julio, Aaron Donald, Von Miller and we have one too many for the Top 10.

Did I miss something? Are one of these 11 already on the list?

 

[MarcusRock]

Things are skewed towards QBs in general. However, who are you taking QB-wise after Rodgers, Brady, and Brees? Have you consistently watched Wilson? Most of the people who criticize Wilson don't even watch their games except when the Seahawks are on prime time. I've followed his entire career from the start and he generates offense differently than the "Fantasy Football" stat sheet champion QBs. Also, a lot of people who criticize him have to stick to their agenda against him after being proved wrong for labeling him "just a running QB" when he entered the league. No marquee WR, crappy OL, no running game since Lynch and still led them to the playoffs every year except last (5/6). As much as he has to do, he's never missed a game.

Why would Watt be there?

 

[CPanther95]

He's the one I'd knock out of the Top 10, but how could he miss the Top 100?

Edit : I thought he was top 10 in each of the last 3 years, but looked it up and he was #35 last year - but #1 and #3 the 2 years prior. Still seems ridiculous to not have him in the Top 100 at all.

Out of sight, out of mind. Didn't Peyton Manning make it the year he was out with injury and people didn't expect him to be on the list but a reason given was the Colts were so bad without him that it proved how valuable he was?

He's at 84.

Ahhh..... so I did miss one.

There were so many, who can blame you? He was one of the players I was looking for that wasn't a Cowboy.

Ju Ju was my wild card hoping he could sneak into the top 100. The NFL Network intro for the show has all the names on those white blocks and Ju Ju is on one of them so I thought he might have made it. Apparently they aren't all on the list.

I love lists, but what list is complete without Travis Fredrick, Sean Lee and just MORE Dallas Cowboys?
