Top 100 Players of 2013 - NFL.com

Thursday I think

 

So I'm assuming the top ten are (in no specific order):
JJ
Brady
Peyton
Rodgers
Peterson
C. Johnson
Willis
Aldon Smith
Arian
Dumerville

 

If by Dumervil you mean Miller then yeah that seems about right.

 

My bad. Long day. Yes Miller.

 

Thanks. Looks like two episodes starting at 7. For some reason they're doing a preview Wednesday night.

No secret any longer that we will indeed have two players considered among the ten best as voted by their nfl peers...Foster with legendary vision, and JJ Watt just plain becoming a legend...can't wait

 

Arian Foster shared this on Facebook. It lists the top ten players featuring Foster and Watt.

this is just an opinion of a writer, not the actual list.

 

Foster #8, Watt #5 as voted by their peers ...not bad

 

If this was a positional ranking, I wouldn't mind putting Foster high. But I think quite a few players in other positions should be ranked over him. Basically the top tier QBs and top tier pass rushers. And perhaps the best 1-2 OTs. But I guess with any list skill positions likely get a bump, and players that were good 2 years ago also get a bump. So overall this isn't surprising.

Last year I thought Foster was good enough to be in discussion for MVP. This year, I feel the Texans would not have had much of a dropoff(if at all) if we replaced Foster with a variety of other RBs. A lot of the difference in production really had to do with touches.

 

JJ Watt was a freak. It is almost hilarious how good he was, to the point where it is unrealistic to expect another season like that from him again.

 

would it be too much to ask for one casualty free season? bum hamstring fine, dislocated shoulder ok but please nothing season ending. You can't win a superbowl, even if you have erin roygers, if the defense doesn't play lights out.

 

I was discussing with a friend earlier about the Texans defence and what they will need to do to rise back to the elites (2011 form). Every great defence has those stars that make plays over the years: The Ravens (Reed, Suggs, Lewis, Ngata), The Steelers (Harrison, Hampton, Polomalu, Lamarr Woodley?), The 49ers (Willis, Smith, others I am forgetting), etc. For the Texans, they can with Watt (obvious), Cushing (great ILB), JJoe (shutdown corner), and Reed. Last year, Cushing was out, JJoe had two sports hernias and was clearly limited, and Reed was not on the team. They need a bounceback year, and it shouldn't be too unrealistic to hope for one. I hope.

 

Watt had a better season than Peyton.

I dont know how Peyton is no.2 I would prefer Brees, Rodgers or Brady over him, any day.

 

where was david carr on the list?

 

The season cab;t start soon enough!

 

You see, I'm so excited about next season that I can't even type correctly.

 

IM ecited to;
