I don't know what more you could want out of a back than what Jackson gives you. I guess I understand if people don't want to rate him too highly if you think his role will be diminished moving forward, but he's such a fantastic back in every aspect.

[bearsfan_51]

Darren McFadden is not the 3rd best runningback. He's become so overrated after like 1 1/2 good seasons. It should say something that the Raiders don't miss a beat when Michael Bush was in.

[mightytitan9]

Fred Jacksons probably the most underrated back in the NFL, but at 31 you've got to wonder how much he has left in the tank

[mightytitan9]

I think this list can greatly differ because some people are thinking if they're building a team, others are basing it on production, others on a combination of many things.

[Vox Populi]

Andy Levitre needs more love at OG but I forgive all of you since hes on the Bills and no one cares.

He has the ultimate praise - only player in the NFL with a Lake Effect Ice Cream flavor in his honor.

He's probably my favorite player in the league, right now. Hopefully gets a decent contract this year.

Damn I'm getting killed for my list. Even neg repped. It's not easy making a top 5 of every position, I miss some here and there, sue me.

I forgot about Levitre, he's definitely top 5. And I guess my RT list is controversial.

As for Shady, he's a beast. I used to think the same thing BF51 thought, that he just took advantage of 6 man fronts bc of the offense he's in, but after watching him this year, I realized he's legit. The guy sees plenty of 8 man fronts, and even in games where VY was in, he still had great numbers.

He's basically Brian Westbrook reincarnated.

*Again Brady makes Gronk and Hernandez. Brees makes Graham. Alex Smith?...yeah. And Fred Davis was the Skins passing offense last year.

That's a funny joke

He isn't even the best RB in his Div, that would be Jamaal.

i'm entertained by the idea that a 3 year old is somehow posting on these boards and knows how to work for the rep system.

either way, i always find these threads hilarious. some folks will go to the end of the earth to defend any and every player from their own team. well, except that one that they don't like, because they think it makes them more 'objective' or something.

Doug Free will be much better on the right again
GABE CARIMI (this was a tough list, i just wanted to cap it at white guys...sorry)





i started making a defense one and saw it was only offense...this was harder than i thought

[Saints-Tigers]

Nicks isn't good because the Saints thought it better to pay less money for Grubbs, who also isn't good because his team let him go so they can sign people like Ngata down the line.

Carl Nicks is the best guard in the league, don't overthink it.

[scottyboy]

even though he had an off year, I feel Chris Snee is still better than some of the farts you guys are putting at 4 and 5 of your right guards

You're exaggerating. Also anyone who doesn't have Nick Mangold as their #1 center deserves to be castrated.

njx is aloof and superior to all, at all times, in all things.

I would have put Veldheer some where in there at least over the consideration of D.Penn he gave up like 9 sacks last year.

[mightytitan9]

somebody gonna make a defensive one? Don't worry, I won't argue any Titans Defenders are top 5 at their position lol

[bigbluedefense]

I'm working on it. I'm debating though how I'm going to make it. Do I do a separate one for the 4-3 and 3-4? Do I somehow mix and match?

It's a little trickier with defense.

Yeah they didn't miss a beat until week 12 when Bush highest rushing yards in a game were 78 yards. McFadden when healthy I would consider in the top 5 but hasn't show the ability to stay healthy and that's the problem staying healthy He was leading the league in rushing before getting hurt.

I think you've got to do like: best 3-4 DE's, best 4-3 DE's, best 3-4 ILB, best 4-3 MLB etc.

Obviously DB's can be just one list.

I say this because 3-4 OLB's often would be listed because they produce more, even though they're more like 4-3 DE's than OLB.

Reminds me of the pro bowl when Keith Bulluck would get passed over so often for the 3-4 OLB's

I'd just go "Pass Rushers" (43 DE, 34 OLB), "Interior Linemen" (34 DE, NT, DT) and "Linebacker" (34 ILB, 43 OLB, 43 MLB). Maybe expand it to ten on those since you've clumped a bunch of positions together.
