Rivals 2009 Top 100 Player Countdown

[ironman4579]

So I'm sure most of you have already seen this and been keeping up with it, but I figured I'd post it here. I'm also posting the link, since I'm too lazy to copy out the writeup they did on each player. The list is at 71 at this point, but I'll keep updating it every few days as guys are revealed. They say this is not based off NFL potential, but off of production and what they think the player will do this year.

They should just put #1 up already since everyone knows who it is.

[ironman4579]

Updated with 61-70.

Clausen being higher than Moore is a joke. Moore is more productive and a better player who gets knocked for playing in the spread and winning.

[roscoesdad27]

benn being that low is terrible...clearly one of the top 2 w.r.'s in the country.

clausen > moore and is set for a HUGE season.

[Saints 4 Lyfe]

any WR from Notre Damn ahead of LaFell is LOLZ.

[BRAVEHEART]

As much as i hate ND, Floyd is the truth.

[Saints 4 Lyfe]

LaFell is literally uncoverable. Homerism aside very few can actually cover him.

[ironman4579]

any WR from Notre Damn ahead of LaFell is LOLZ.

Since Rivals is basing it more off of production than anything else, it may have something to do with the fact ND is going to be starting a junior QB who's going into his third year as a starter (despite the fact I personally think he's overrated), and LSU has some QB questions.

[iowatreat54]

LaFell is literally uncoverable. Homerism aside very few can actually cover him.

No, he is not litterally uncoverable. If even one person can cover him, he is coverable.

Jesus, people, learn the ******* English language.

[YAYareaRB]

Jesus, people, learn the ******* English language.

I think calling him literally uncoverable was homerism.

but.. putting his homerism aside he stated there are very few who could cover him. Just a thought

That would require him having some reading comprehension of the ******* English language.

[jballa838]

Griffin was 59. What are they basing this off of? they say production but he had 28 total tds and 3 picks as a true frosh. I dont get it.

[Sniper]

any WR from Notre Damn ahead of LaFell is LOLZ.

Golden Tate out-produced LaFell in every category except receptions.

[wicket]

any WR from Notre Damn ahead of LaFell is LOLZ.

as a college wr gt is betten then LaFell, LaFell is a better pro prospect though, tate is just quicker and tougher to get down, LaFell is stronger taller and a better route runner

[Sniper]

Apparently, Rivals thinks that Terrelle Pryor is better than Brandon Graham. What a fantastic statement.

[ironman4579]

Updated with 51-60. Still can't believe the guy that was 2nd in the nation in TFL's and 7th in sacks is the #58 player.

I can't believe a QB who finished his season with a pair of 5-13 passing performances is ranked ahead of said sack machine.

Agreed, but you know we're just starting another OSU/Michigan battle once Hindsight spots this.

[Brent]

Pryor before Griffin? gtfo.

you're on my jock more than you think I'm on snipers.

[ironman4579]

you're on my jock more than you think I'm on snipers.

Actually, this might be the second time I've responded to anything you've said, but feel free to think you're more important than you are.

I wasn't saying you'd be in here because of Sniper there superstar. I was saying it because you're about as much of a OSU homer as Sniper and I are Michigan homers. Anything about OSU/Michigan, we all pretty much try to get in on it.

[Sniper]

I wasn't saying you'd be in here because of Sniper superstar.

That's right, dammit. Superstar! :D

I don't know what type of "getting it on" you're trying to get at here. :D

Wow, did I mess that post up................

[superman8456]

Robert Griffin > Terrelle Pryor

confused you with a different poster.

I don't think I've posted anything too homeristic about Ohio State.

[ironman4579]

Meh, I just think it's kind of obvious. I guess when I say homer, I also mean someone that's pretty much guaranteed to post when the subject of their favorite team comes up.

[ironman4579]

Updated with 41-50.

[sbh15]

If Janoris Jenkins is not in here, then this ****'s a joke.
