Here was the top 10 Lamar Russell Wilson Donald Mahomes Michael Thomas Christian McCaffrey George Kittle DeAndre Hopkins Stephon Gilmore Derrick Henry Here is the breakdown by position, so we can compare with the rankings ESPN recently released. "Left off" includes players not in this top 100 that were on the ESPN top 10 lists AND ranked above the player ranked lowest on the NFL top 100 (in the frequent case where the top 100 didn't provide 10 spots for a position) Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson Russell Wilson Patrick Mahomes Drew Brees Tom Brady Aaron Rodgers DeShaun Watson Jimmy G Dak Prescott Kirk Cousins Ryan Tannehill Josh Allen Kyler Murray Left off: Matt Ryan, Carson Wentz, Matthew Stafford Running Backs Christian McCaffrey Derrick Henry Dalvin Cook Ezekiel Elliott Saquon Barkley Aaron Jones Nick Chubb Alvin Kamara Mark Ingram Todd Gurley Josh Jacobs Chris Carson Left off: Joe Mixon, LeVeon Bell Wide Receivers Michael Thomas DeAndre Hopkins Julio Jones Tyreek Hill Mike Evans Chris Godwin Amari Cooper Stefon Diggs Davante Adams Odell Beckham Jr. Jarvis Landry Tyler Lockett Larry Fitzgerald Keenan Allen DK Metcalf Cooper Kupp Allen Robinson Left Off: None Tight Ends George Kittle Travis Kelce Zach Ertz Darren Waller Left Off: Rob Gronkowski (#4) Offensive Tackles David Bakhtiari Laremy Tunsil Ronnie Stanley Tyron Smith Ryan Ramczyk Left Off: Trent Williams (#3), Terron Armstead (#5) Interior Offensive Linemen Quenton Nelson Zack Martin Jason Kelce Brandon Brooks Left Off: Brendan Scherff (#3), David DeCastro (#4) Edge Rushers Chandler Jones Nick Bosa Khalil Mack Cameron Jordan TJ Watt Von Miller Shaquil Barrett Joey Bosa Danielle Hunter Jadeveon Clowney Za'Darius Smith Preston Smith Myles Garrett Frank Clark Left Off: DeMarcus Lawrence Interior Defensive Linemen Aaron Donald JJ Watt Chris Jones DeForest Buckner Jurrell Casey Fletcher Cox Calais Campbell Cameron Heyward Grady Jarrett Left Off: Arik Armstead (#7), Akiem Hicks (#8) Off-Ball Linebackers Bobby Wagner Darius Leonad Demario Davis Fred Warner Eric Kendricks Jaylon Smith Lavonte David Left Off: Deion Jones (#6), Tremaine Edmunds (#7) Cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore Richard Sherman Jalen Ramsey Tredavious White Marcus Peters Logan Ryan Marshon Lattimore Marlon Humphrey Darius Slay Left Off: Patrick Peterson (#7), Xavien Howard (#9) Safeties Jamal Adams Minkah Fitzpatrick Tyrann Mathieu Harrison Smith Earl Thomas Budda Baker Left Off: Derwin James (#4), Kevin Byard (#5) Edited July 30, 2020 by RandyMossIsBoss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I'm a 49er fan, and that's the most bizarre ranking of Jimmy G.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 IMO, Brees, Brady, and Rodgers have no business being ranked above Watson at this point in any of their careers. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Looks at number one and only number one Yeah, that's a pretty accurate list. Who could have a problem with that? From "He'll be out of the league once every defense mimicks what Gus Bradley did!" to #1 player in the entire league according to his peers. What a beast.

The NFL is weirdly still super high on the old guys it seems like. Mike Sando released his quarterback tier rankings that he does (he's been doing them for years, since he was at ESPN) wher he speaks with 50 coaches and teams execs or whatever it is. Brees and Rodgers were still voted tier 1, and Brady was the top quarterback in tier 2 and nearly half his votes I think were tier one, which is just insanity for me. They also for some reason managed to put Rivers in the tier 2 list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three of these guys have had great careers but they are shells of what they once were at this point. Can't blame them. Age catches up to everybody.

Brees? He is still playing his best football though.... Just because he doesn't have the pretty arm these days doesn't mean he's no longer an elite QB (especially since he never had a great arm to begin with). Reminds of Broncos Peyton, old but in a system that perfectly compliments his lightning fast decision making and deadly accuracy. He has completed an insane 74.4% of his passes over the past 2 years en route to an ever more insane 115.9 passer rating (over 867 attempts). He's tier 1 no doubt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) The NFL top 100 doesn't even have a single offensive lineman in their top ten. And just one defensive lineman in Donald. But two runningbacks in the top ten. K. PFF top ten for comparison: 1. George Kittle 2. Aaron Donald 3. Russell Wilson 4. Patrick Mahomes 5. Brandon Brooks 6. T.J. Watt 7. Lamar Jackson 8. Michael Thomas 9. Ryan Ramczyk Edited July 30, 2020 by TecmoSuperJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duluther Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Watch the program for the player commentary and clips, and leave everything else behind. You’ll be a lot happier. My favorite part was Payton losing his freaking mind over Hopkins. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archimedes Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 2 hours ago, Uncle Buck said: IMO, Brees, Brady, and Rodgers have no business being ranked above Watson at this point in any of their careers. I agree on Brady. He’s average at best at this point and mainly living off his legacy. Brees and Rogers is not as clear cut IMO. I think all three of those guys are pretty close. After Mahomes/Wilson, those are guys 3 through 5 for me in any order. Obviously I’m taking Watson over them moving forward due to age, but it’s not that unreasonable to still have Brees and Rodgers over him. Brees is still putting up elite production based on his numbers. He’s lost arm strength and he’s getting up there in age but he’s still playing at a very high level. Rodgers actually had a very comparable year in terms of efficiency to Watson (except QBR, which hated Rodgers last season for some reason, but that was an outlier among other stats). He’s not at the god-mode he used to be at, but I thinks he’s still a clearly top 6 QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullback Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Any NFL player ranking that has Mahomes at #4 is a joke. You could argue Lamar had an excellent regular season while Mahomes was injured for the most part. Yet even when considering the injury, Mahomes should be no lower than #2.

Mahomes had 5k yards, 50TD, was MVP and was still #4 last year. I’d say that the biggest snub is Mitchell Schwartz, who was left off the list. That man gets no respect.

lancerman Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 It’s that time a year again where everyone complains about a list that is universally considered a joke that the players don’t take serious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
