NFL.com's top 50 players in the game

very surprised to see champ at #4!! I know the guy has mad skills but I can't see him valued as much as a good quarterback or a solid running back. I believe that a guy like L.T. or larry johnson carry's more of a load and that usually shows up in rankings like that. But a CB as the 4th best players in the entire league seems wrong.

Yeah, Shaun Alexander is a bit soft at times but he does deserve to be mentioned above Larry Johnson. I mean come on, if you're going to bitch about how good Alexander's OL (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/HutcSt00.htm) play (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/JoneWa00.htm) was how the hell do you "miss" the fact that Johnson's line has two (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/RoafWi00.htm) guys (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/RoafWi00.htm) who have been to the pro-bowl a combined 21 times.

Brian Urlacher shouldn't be that high. Steven Jackson? Who the f'ck is that? He's garbage. Richard Seymour before Dwight Freeney and Julius Peppers? That's crazy talk.

p.s. Shockey should be on the list....j/k.

seymour is great, he doesn't get as much pub playing in a 3-4 though...

these ranking only include the top 2-3 at a position, and samuels is around #5 on the O tackle charts.

what a crap list. whats a top 50 without ethan "big red" albright?

lindsay lohan?

If you agree with Payton and Brady as in the top two then you have to give #1 to Brady. Brady has 3 SB and Payton has none.

i'd give it to brady as well, brady hasent had near the amount of talent payton has had around him on offebse, but then again defense wins championships and we all know that payton didnt have one of those, until now.

Brady is definitely better than Manning...no contest.

Prisco doesn't know what he's talking about, but then again none of the Sportsline writers do and it's only May.
