    Other than the TD plus for Fitzgerald, very comparable between the two. And if you guys get to exclude guys like Ray Lewis because he's old, then I get to consider who's throwing the ball to the WR for this season.

    In this case, Fitzgerald has Weemus the Titmouse throwing to him, and Jennings has Aaron "Fricken" Rodgers throwing to him.

    Jennings hands down.

    Greg Jennings 68 1113 16.4 4

    Larry Fitzgerald 97 1092 11.3 13

    We're talking CURRENT physical intangibles. Ray Lewis is a savvy veteran but he's no where near the same caliber athlete as Patrick Willis for example. In his prime absolutely but Lewis is no longer the best at his position. Greg Jennings also isn't the athlete that Fitz is....

    I have not seen many 49er games since Willis has been there so I don't have much to go on, but what I have been reading says that indeed Willis is the bees knees of current middle linebackers in the NFL.

  • I can see Asomugha, but I'd take Charles Woodson over Revis any day of the week. Revis is a very talented kid, but he's behaving like a whiney little bitch right now, and whiney little bitches don't help their teams win games.

    I would take Antoine Winfield over Charles Woodson any day of the week at cornerback.

    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.

    If you don't think Vickers is at the very least in the argument for best FB in the game, then you are making a decision based off bias against the Browns. Yes, Alex Mack was my homer pick, because when it comes to non-skill players, I don't really pay that close attention to the names of the players in the entire league.

    The Madden list had Lousak Polite, Tony Richardson, L. Weaver, and L. McClain ahead of Vickers as a fullback.

    I guess perhaps I don't know my fullbacks all that well.....but, if these guys are all better than Vickers, then they must be some kind of beasts.

  • You come on this board with the attitude that you know everything, that you're above everyone else...

    However your statement that Gay Ben was the only athelete suspended without being convicted of a crime is freakin wrong...

    Pac Man Jones was justifibly suspended BUT you freakin idiot, he was never convicted of a crime that warrented his suspension..... Arrested yes, convicted no.....................

    I'm not supporting, defending or even saying anything positive about Pac Man, I'm just ONCE AGAIN showing that you're an ignorant homer who made a false statement once again defending your home town hero...... You're a joke.... Why dont you hook up Ben with your sister or mother???

    I am not sure he would want to share him with his sister or mother. 😍

    But, I will say this: I would agree that I personally would rate BR higher than Romo or Schaub and disagree with Madden on that point.

    I think a lot of these lists that exclude Browns in the top 1 or 2 are biased towards the lack of Browns offensive production (defensive stopitude) in the last several years.

    I agree, if these guys are better than Vickers, then they are monsters. McClain might get a nod for me, because as a short yardage and pass catching full back, he is very good. Not sure how good he actually is as a blocker, but if Rice's production is any clue, he's pretty good.

    Of course, I remember the days when the Fullback was actually THE running back for most NFL teams. Jim Brown was a fullback. Jim Taylor was a fullback. John Henry Johnson was a fullback. Cookie Gilchrist was a fullback. Matt Snell was a fullback. John Riggins was a fullback. Pete Johnson was a fullback. Bill Brown of the Vikings was a fullback. John Brockington was a fullback. Don Perkins of the Cowboys was a fullback. Sam "Bam" Cunningham was a fullback. Larry Csonka was a fullback. Earl Campbell was a fullback. And perhaps many more, and these, as I said, were the primary ground gainers for their teams. That, of course has changed. I don't think we really have the position of "Halfback" Now, what we really have is a Running back, and a Blocking back. The guys above would have been their teams "Running back", not their blocking back. Fair to say? Ernie Green was the blocking back for Jim Brown, even though he was smaller than JB. Most "Fullbacks" these days are going to be bigger, weight wise, than a team's "running back". Unless you have a Jerome Bettis or someone like that. Was Bettis considered a Fullback? or a Halfback?

    Rivers at 1? Based on what? He's a damn cry baby hot head as well and has done nothing in the playoffs.

  • Look, I watch a lot of football, and know everybody has homor picks but to put Big Ben number really!!!!!

    Its like me sayin MoMass is number 1 WR

    Fact: Big Ben was on the first superbowl team that the defense won for yall, and the refs helped

    Fact: Big Ben is a really good QB

    Fact: Big Ben likes raping women

    Fact: He fights with his teammates and they really dont like him...Hines Ward Anybody????

    Brees, Manning hands down are better and if your talking this year and last year Rodgers no doubt, and Shaub.....

    Dont get me wrong Big Ben is good, but not even close to the best

    I would put Big Ben in front of Romo, Mcnabb, ELi Manning, but not Jake the Snake 🙂

    just my opinion dude. yeah he can be quite the whiner but i like the way he talks shit to the other team, almost daring them to take his head off (which one day they probably will). oooh. sad face.

    I certainly respect your opinion I just wanted a explanation. Rivers has never impressed me, especially with all that talent around him. Gates, LT in his prime during the early parts of his career. Vincent Jackson and a solid o-line. He was never able to really do anything with it. You then add in the fact that the dude has a legit attitude problem. (Yes I'm aware Ben is a womanizer) I just don't like the guy as a QB and while his arm is pretty accurate it's not terribly strong. I just can't find justification anywhere to even place the guy in the top 5 let alone the top spot. Toughest QB in the league is Ben outside of Brett Favre in his prime and now for that matter. Favre drives me nuts now but one thing you can never take away from the man is his desire to play the game and play through everything. Ben on the other hand is huge, hard to bring down and he comes like a freight train.

    Either way you're entitled to your opinion. I just wanted some elaboration.

    Quarterbacks better than Roethlisberger:

    1. Manning I GIVE YA MANNING

    2. Brady I GIVE YA BRADY

    3. Brees hmmm.... maybe so but not for long

    4. Favre No.... But still an awesome player

    5. Kurt Warner when he unretires hmmm...NO WAY...

    6. Rodgers He is On Bens Level

    7. Romo Not Quite... but not bad.

    8. Schaub FUNNY , lol funny

    9. Rivers He is on Bens Level

    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....

    OK, so, you are saying that you would not rank Delhomme as the best QB in all the NFL. We get that, who would.

    The question is who WOULD you rank as the best in the NFL at each of these positions, not who wouldn't you.

    If we wanted to make a list of who we wouldn't rank, we would be here a long time.

  • Delhomme is much better than Big Ben, he took a less talented team to the super bowl than Big Ben. As a matter fact I think DA is better he gets to start for 2 teams Cle and Ari. Not to mention Who ever P.Mannings back up is, hes a lot better than Big Ben......Oh watching the first quarter of colts-packers MNF game..Rodgers wayyyyyyyy better than Big Ben that is no joke

    RT: Same here. Andre Smith has amazing potential, he was throwing people around in the Eagles game, but got gassed very quickly. He has the chance to be the best, but as of right now I'm not sure. Don't know any RT. Jared Gaither, I guess?
