This thread needs more Aaron Rodgers and I'm not even being a homer.

Aaron Rogers gets my vote, he's already a top 5 QB in the NFL imo, just after Brady, Manning, Rivers and Brees (not in that order) the young group of Rivers and Rogers followed closely by Ryan and maybe flacco could be the next group at the top of lists for the next decade.

Hell in 5 years I can see there being the same Brady vs Manning debate about those guys.

If CJ can stay healthy I think he, Williams, Peterson and Calvin Johnson have legitimate shots at being some of the all time greats.

On the defensive side of the ball, depending on how long Aso has left in the scheme of ten years he should be right up there, Revis has that ability also I think.

Linebackers I really like Bradley in philly though I don't think he's in that elite category, beason and P-willie are at the top of the inside or middle linebacker list.

Orakpo and Clay Matthews could be the next Merriman and Ware pairing, battling for sack lead over the next three or four years, provided they continue to stay healthy and produce.

Jarius Byrd is also extremely underrated.

Homer: I really hope that Matt Moore works out and finally gives Carolina a special QB something the team has never had.

Williams has the ability to be one of the best in the NFL for the next 3-5 years as does stewart imo. If Otah can get better in his pass protection, which he has been doing he'll be a special tackle IMO, he's already one of the most dominant run blockers in the game and if he can cut down on mental errors, get better with his footwork he could be really, really great.

The tackle tandem on the Ravens are terrifyingly good too, could be the best tandem in the NFL for a long, long time health permitting.

Asking for Aaron Rodgers to be in this thread = not being a homer.

I wasn't asking. I was stating a fact. It was by no means a plea.

If I had to pick a team for 2010-2020, for the most part it would go as such.

QB: Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan,
RB: Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Ray Rice
WR: Larry Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson, Percy Harvin
WR: Steve Smith, Desean Jackson, Sidney Rice
TE: Brent Celek, Jermichael Finley, Vernon Davis
T: Ryan Clady, Joe Thomas, Jake Long, Michael Oher, Jared Gaither
G: Jahri Evans, Davin Joseph, Logan Mankins
C: Nick Mangold, Jason Brown, Ryan Kalil

DE: Mario Wiliams, Trent Cole
DT: Haloti Ngata, Broderick Bunkley
ILB: Patrick Willis, Demeco Ryans, Jon Beason, David Harris
OLB: Clay Matthews, Brian Cushing, Brian Orakpo, Lamarr Woodley, Elvis Dumervil
CB: Darrelle Revis, Leon Hall, Jonathan Joseph, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
S: Nick Collins, Jairus Byrd

They're just the players in the NFL off the top of my head.

I don't think he's ranking them, just listing players who he thinks will be studs for the next decade.

I think he left Andre Johnson off because it's supposed to be prominent players of the next decade.

They weren't ranked in any order. I guess I could add Rivers in there but when I was making it I was all over the place. Andre Johnson is 28. Personally, I don't think that he'll put up the kind of numbers he is now to establish himself as a player of the next decade. Jermichael Finley in front of Vernon Davis is strictly because I thought of Finley first. Not because I think one is better than the other.

This is correct.

And he may be, but he is 28. I don't know how long he will last putting up these kind of numbers. WR's are extremely hard to predict as you notice that I'm fairly conservative in listing mine. Reggie Wayne could dominate for another 6 years, who knows.
