Who's the Best
-
The question I am asking here is simply: Who do you think is the best player in the NFL at each position? I heard a bit of a debate on the radio about a specific position but I thought I would see what people thought about all positions. So, tell us what you think. Here are the positions, tell who you think is best:
QB:

I'll post in this later but Thaak you had me laughing with a few of those posts. You don't watch a lot of NFL football outside the Browns do you? Greg Jennings sure as hell isn't a top 2 WR in the NFL. Yes it's your opinion but he's still not top 2. You're leaving out guys like Larry Fitzgerald or Andre Johnson for the mighty midget in Green Bay. Why because you just watched him briefly in a preseason game? And Ray Lewis is in no way shape or form the best MLB currently in the game. Patrick Willis has that on lock down. Either way you're entitled to your own opinion. Just funny.

Just funny.Actually guy, I do watch a TON of football, usually have several fantasy teams (of which I have won a few cash prizes for coming in first amongst others who are also knowledgeable). Forgot about Johnson though. He probably would be higher on my list over Jennings. But I'd take Jennings over Fitzgerald any day of the week.
As for Lewis, he may be long in the tooth and no longer the best currently on the field, but over the years he has been the best, hands down. Since he's still playing, gotta pick him.
Don't make judgment calls like you did above without any knowledge about who you are judging. Just makes you look like a Steelers fan... oh wait...

lol alright. I made the comment based on your inability to A. Name a player even if it's just one for certain positions and placing a guy like Jennings in the top 2 for WR's in the NFL. Jennings over Fitzgerald? What crack are you smoking? I also play fantasy football and all that does is ensure you know the "skill positions" and nothing more. Your slew of chest puffing above is no different than saying you know football because you play a lot of Madden. lol. Either way you're entitled to your opinion.

Here are the positions, tell who you think is best:
QB: The three that are/should be mentioned are Brees/Brady/Manning....but, I am going to say that the QB that is going to have the best year and will break into the discussion as the best QB is: Aaron Rodgers. But for overall career, Manning
RB: I am going with Purple Jesus, Adrian Peterson, over Chris Johnson. AP just needs to stop fumbling.
FB: Not too familiar with the other players at the position, but I can't see Lawrence Vickers taking a back seat to anyone really. Lorenzo Neal who was considered the best a long time is retired. Madden had T. Richardson as best....but I don't know who that is.
TE: I am going with Dallas Clark for his versatility. #2 Jake Witten. Tony Gonzales...still good , but best days behind him.
WR1: Larry Fitzgerald
WR2: Andre Johnson
LT: Madden has Clardy? (don't know him) as the best, and Jake Long ahead of Joe Thomas. I am sure those others are good, but I will take Joe.
LG: Hutchinson seems like a sound choice. Steinbach in top 5-6
Nick Mangold is pretty universally heralded as the top center. Can't say I disagree.RG: Defer to Madden as I am without knowledge sufficient to form an opinion
RT: Defer to Madden ditto
DT/NG 1: Williams of Minnesota
DT/NG 2: Vince Wilfork of NE I believe
DE1: Mario Williams of Houston
DE2: Jared Allen of Minn.
OLB1: Demarcus Ware of Dallas
OLB2: James Harrison of Pittsburgh
MLB1: Is the age of the great MLBs gone? Ray Lewis is too old, but I can't think of anyone better
MLB2: see above
CB1: Darrel Revis, if he plays
CB2: Asomugha of Oakland
FS: Ed Reed, if he plays and is healthy, otherwise probably Polamalu
SS: Bob Sanders of Indy if healthy.
K: Longwell of the Packers? maybe? though the position is a crap shoot.
P: Most of the love is being given to Shane Lechler. Again, who knows, another crapshoot
LS: How many long snappers do you know? We know that Pontbriand has been awful steady for long time, why not him? Who else?
KR: I think we can put Josh Cribbs in here, though if you were including a separate punt returner there may be a few better.

About more than skill positions. Just because I don't follow the names of Guards and Right Tackles doesn't mean that I am football stupid. I am also at work, and a more comprehensive list of players at positions will have to wait until later.

Didn't say you were stupid just implied that based on your first list it didn't seem like you watched a bunch of football. The most glaring the Jennings inclusion but either way.

QB: Big Ben (Homer pick obviously but he's top 5 and I wouldn't trade him for any other QB) Brees would be second.
RB: Adrian Peterson
FB: Tony Richardson or Lousaka Polite
TE: Jason Witten or yes Heath Miller (Heath will have a ton of catches this year and he can block)
WR1: Andre Johnson
WR2: Larry Fitzgerald or Moss
LT: Ryan Clady but Joe Thomas is also up here
LG: Ben Grubbs
Nick MangoldRG: Jahari Evans
RT: John Stichcomb I guess
DT/NG 1: Casey Hampton
DT/NG 2: Shaun Rogers (when he's not carrying guns around)
DE1: Jared Allen
DE2: Justin Tuck (But Aaron Smith deserves mention here as in my opinion the best 3-4 end in the league. 4-3 ends get all the publicity because of their need to rush the passer rather than the LB's.
OLB1: James Harrison
OLB2: Demarcus Ware
MLB1: Patrick Willis
MLB2: Tough call here but I'm leaning Demeco Ryans but Jon Beason has to be up there as well.
CB1: Revis
CB2: Asomugha
FS: Ed Reed but he's on the verge of retirement if he keeps getting banged up.
SS: Troy Polamalu
K: Defer to Madden (I also don't care)
P: Defer to Madden (See above)
LS: Greg Warren lol (don't care)
KR: Josh Cribbs

What part of Homer pick didn't you read? Should I have overreacted with Thaak picking Lawrence Vickers or Alex Mack? HOMER PICK! HOMER PICK! HOMER PICK! did you read it that time? I gave you 4 opportunities. However I'd rather have Big Ben than any of the QB's listed above. Peyton Manning finally won his super bowl but he was a choke artist up until that point. Tom Brady is a cry baby lady. We'll also see when the dust settles who stands where in the final rank order. Big Ben is a good bit younger than both and already has two Super Bowls. He's certainly a elite QB in this league. ONCE AGAIN HOMER PICK! that's 5 times.

Peyton Manning a choke artist? All he does is win! So he hasn't had the defense to win multiple championships yet ... He shits out 12 wins a year just on offense. If the Colts and Steelers switched defenses the past decade, he'd have 7 or 8 rings ... choke artist my ass!Brady a cry baby Lady? Dude is tough as nails. He didn't ride along to his first Super Bowl like young Ben, he picked his team up and carried them there! He's as tough as they come.
Not ONE GM in the league would trade Brady or Manning for Ben straight up DESPITE the age difference. Not too mention that they are solid citizens and happily married men raising families while Ben took on the responsibility of being the Face of the Franchise to mean "stick my dick wherever i want whenever I want".
Please ... I'm going to puke!
Zombo
I'm not going to waste my time debating this but Peyton Manning was to blame for a few of those late playoff losses and Tom Brady does cry every chance he gets. Let's not forget manning blaming his OFFENSIVE LINE for his blunders. Once again his OFFENSIVE LINE! as in the offense failed and it wasn't Peyton's fault but rather his o-line. No mention of defense which has been pretty solid all things considered.

Rodgers so far has done nothing and McNabb? Why do people routinely put him in the top 5. What has he done lately? I would put Rodgers in the top 5 but McNabb certainly no longer belongs in that group.

2. Brady
3. Brees
4. Favre
5. Kurt Warner when he unretires
6. Rodgers
7. Romo
8. Schaub
9. Rivers
10th ... I think I'd go with Carson Palmer, Eli Maning or a healthy Matt Hassleback over Ben ... at least they will be there for their team the whole season....
