NFL.com's top 50 players in the game

seems like some of his guys are based on reputation. Larry Johnson had 1 good year, dont know how he can be there before Portis. LT is by far the best player in the NFL. Peyton chokes when it counts, so I dont see him being the best player. If a QB is going to be the best, Brady would be the best in my book. Regular season and their records come second to winning big games and he just hasn't done it. And I doubt losing Edge is going to help that at all. TO, aside from his diva attitude has to be top 5 or top 10 players, he changed the game, period!. I dont like him, but he is the best receiver in the game right now. Moss, when he feels like it can be the best ever. Chad Johnson is definately a top 5 receiver. As much as I would like to say Santana should be in the mix, he just hasn't put together a few seasons of good numbers.

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.

i think this slot has to do with player perception... it seems whenever a reporter asks an elite receiver who the toughest corner in the league to line up against, almost universally it's champ.

ray lewis i think is very overated... champ is kinda overated but hes the closest thing in the league to a shut down corner so im fine with a top 10 spot

i thought bailey was over rated when he was here,and after what t owens did to him last year,very much over rated.as far as lewis ,a top 3 player in his time,that time has gone.but still one of the better linebackers in the league

every time i've watched champ in denver, he's been tripping over himself and such. I didn't notice any drop off when springs took over and i never notice springs taking prat falls when he gets beat or whatever... in fact, i've rarely noticed springs at all the last two years, which is a good thing.

you have to remember that he was playing with multiple injurys throughout last year and still had the second most amount of int's in the league without all the ty law calls
