Freeney(80) and Mathis(74) make top 100 players of 2013 list

NFL Network ‏@nflnetwork25s

Dwight Freeney at No. 80. #Top100 RT @playerrater_13: Guys! Our first guy doesn't even have a team yet!!

 

 

Nice to see he's still getting respect even after the mediocre season he had in our 3-4 defense. Still think he can be a dominant in a 4-3 defense. 

[Dustin]

Way too high.

[CR91]

Way too high.

 

i think its fair. lets go mathis wayne and luck

[Fx Stryker]

Mathis #74.

[21isSuperman]

I like that he is still getting respect from the other players despite his numbers dropping.

[BPM_Colt]

Basing it solely off this past season it is way too high.. Shouldn't have been on the list IMO

[BOTT]

That list has no creditbility. Players have admitted to not taking part...which was evident when jacoby jones finished ahead of Percy Harvin.

[oldunclemark]

NO way..Cant possibly be.

 

Not based on 2012.

 

 

Big Freeney fan. He's an icon...

 

But he played out of position last year.

 

    Jacoby Jones isnt a Top-100 player either

[Andy]

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.

funny how a top 100 player can't find a job...

[coltsfanmilyman]

I didn't realize he was only 16 behind Freeney!  Gonna have a new Franchise leader soon!

[CjMcGirt23]

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

[Tark The Shark]

Mathis should be up, Freeney should be down.

[Warhorse]

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.

[Dustin]

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

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

 

Luck will likely be in.

[Warhorse]

Luck will likely be in.

Thats right...still waking up...lol

[chad72]

Mathis should be higher, IMO. He is more versatile than Freeney, scheme wise.

[TKnight24]

Anquan Boldin being lower than Troy Palamalu last season? 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

[Coltswarriors]

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

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

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.
