Pretty funny.

 

I like how they give unknown players recognition, but I don't like it when they overrate players, and although Freeney is one of my favorite players of all time, he does not deserve to be on this list. I can't say that he had a bigger impact than Percy Harvin and Kaepernick.

Anquan Boldin being lower than Troy Palamalu last season? Flawed.

Trent Richardson in, Andrew Luck not? Flawed.

I agree with Tark...Mathis should be higher.

Boldin didn't do anything until the playoffs came around (Basically once Lewis announced his retirement)

So Boldin shouldn't be ranked that high. The season is 16 games long, he wasn't as big during the season as he was for them in the playoffs

People vote Mathis as overrated too lol, ignorance. He was averaging a sack a game till he got hurt.

 

This. He was killing it last year till the injury. It'ss all good he'll come back stronger this year.

Also, I could be wrong, but I believe the players voted this list instead of in the past it's been the fans.

 

The Top 100 has always been voted by the players.

 

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_Top_100

 

The NFL Top 100 is an annual list that features the greatest one hundred players in the National Football League (NFL), as chosen by fellow NFL players. The rankings are based on an off-season poll organized by the NFL, whereby players vote on their peers based on the performance of the previous season and their belief of how the player will perform in the coming season.

I think in this and in the pro bowl there are occasionally people who receive lifetime achievement awards.  Basically a guy who's been at the top for so long that even though he drops off quite a bit due to age, the respect for him is still there and it just doesn't feel right leaving him off the list.

 

I think that's how Jeff Saturday made the pro-bowl despite the fact that he lost the starting job in GB in his final year.

 

Probably happened here with Freeney.

      Steelers Colts Predictions

      Yep. He must of woke up Thursday with it. I assume Pinter will play center if he can’t go. That tackle slot is worrisome if smith can’t go. The defense is looking ridiculously banged up.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By Boondoggle · Posted

      QB is hard.  It's easy to sit back and expect guys to look like Marino but every QB has a different ceiling and a different path to that ceiling.  And again getting there is a long and tough road and the toughness in that road includes everything from injuries to quality of the team around them.   Richardson still looks like the guy we saw on tape in college.  He is an elite run threat who can put the ball anywhere on the field, but his consistency in ball placement is not good.  I used to believe that can't be fixed.  Until Josh Allen.  Now these types of QBs are guys teams will take a flyer on, because of supply and demand, and the immense impact if you can hit on one of them.  But here we are and he's still the same QB, which is a bit of a concern to me at this point.   It's not like he doesn't still have time to get his game in order.  He does.  And even if he fails in Indy he'll have another chance with another team due to his talent level.  So it's still too early to get all crazy about where he's at.   For myself I'll say what I keep saying about him: he needs to learn to move the offense from the protection of the pocket.  That is how you have a long career and end up in the Hall with a million passing yards.  If he does not develop that part of his game the end result will be his teams will use his legs to move the offense and he'll get hurt and miss time and demonstrate why RBs have such a short shelf life.  So his career is in his hands.  He has to learn and do it or he'll suffer the results.

      Is Shane Calling Plays to Win Games or to Groom AR?

      Through three games, Richardson is tied for sixth among QBs with 18 rushing attempts (6.0 per game). That's about half of the rushing attempts of league leaders Jayden Daniels, Lamar Jackson, and Jalen Hurts. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/nfl-qb-rushing-yards-leaders-2024
