    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.

      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.

      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?

              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.

                    QB: Peyton Manning statistically (Personal favorite is Matt Schaub)

                    RB: Chris Johnson is fastest, Michael Turner is most powerful, AP is best all around

                    FB: Lawrence Vickers, best run blocking fullback in NFL easily

                    TE: Jason Witten

                    WR1: Andre Johnson

                    WR2: Wes Welker (Roddy White is very underrated)

                    FS: Ed Reed (If he is healthy)...eric berry will be the best in a couple of years

                        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....

                          What about Jake "I wanna go home"?

                          The next player to have his career killed in dirty, dirty Cleveland.

                          We hardly knew ye, Jacob.

                          Regards.....

                            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.

                              .

                              Well for me, at least 1/32'd of my list would be quick...

                              I wouldn't rank any Steelers.

                                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?
