Beats out Fitz and Andre Johnson...nice. Not that it means much in the grand scheme of things, but nice to see him getting the respect.

The man.

Kinda mad that Stafford was so low, this list usually is made off of last year's performances. He was the 3rd best QB last year and broke records in the process. I would think that would put him in the top 20 at least.

Third best? Who's fourth then, Brady or brees

Love it.

Love it.

How can that video not give you chills. And if he and Staff can stay healthy there is nothing they cant do. Those two will just get better. I know the contract CJ got was huge but he is worth every penny.

While Calvin has been the best WR in the world in my mind for about 3 years and still is, this list blows very bad. It's absolutely terrible.

There are more personal feelings involved in this list than their should be. You don't think buddies are voting differently ot enemies voting a certain way? These guys also watch tape of guys they're playing against but they're not watching each guy on a weekly basis. A sports writers list would be much more accurate.

For instance, (yes I'm an obvious Dallas fan) they kill Romo and put him in the 90's for only doing it in the regular season, not winning playoff games etc etc...but then wasn't Mike Vick in like the 70's? What has Mike Vick done? He had a great 1/2 of a season 2 years ago in Philly and hasn't done shit since... He's higher because he can run? Wasn't Cam Newton like 50? There were a ton of guys along that list in all positions that were stupid... just my opinion but I think the list is a piece of shit. The NFL network needed something to do because there wasn't a ton to report on.

Having said all that, Calvin Johnson is a monster, best wr in the league and yes probably a top 3-10 player in my mind.

The video was awesome. And Calvin talking with Gunther at the end is why I am so glad to have him on the Lions: he's always humble no matter how much praise is heaped upon him

Theres enough people voting to make the outliers obsolete. They vote Romo low cause hes awful and single handedly ruins games ALL THE TIME. ie...FG holder drop. ie...all the 2nd half picks vs the lions. ie...ie....ie....ie....ie....

It did piss me off that Cam was above Staff. And everyone seems to be all over Cam and he did have a great year but I believe Staff had a better year and will have a better career. Cam wont be able to run around like he did for long before he starts getting pounded and I know Staff had injuries his first 2 years I think he has gotten past all that,

Thats what I mean..what has Newton done? It's suppose to be right now, not past career or predictions.

Guess thats why Mike Vick was higher, because he's been so much better..just stop.

Guess Jason Pierre Paul should be higher than Arian Foster and Julius Peppers...Devin Hester as the 48th best player in the NFL makes a ton of sense too. Patrick Peterson at 55, a couple td returns sure helped him earn his stripes over everyone else.

That Phillip Rivers sure has ton a lot in the playoffs after winning those division titles in the brutal AFC west over the Chiefs, Raiders n Broncos...definitely should be at #61. He had a great year last year.

Do you have any idea what his numbers were last year? Look at them again....

Romo threw for 4k 31 tds and 10 picks...he's 4 spots ahead of tim Tebow.. the list is a joke man. I don't know why you can't figure this out.

Rivers 27 tds 20 ints...he's #61.
