nfl top 100 2012

[Lotus]

Why are people listing only current players? Isn't the top 100 an all-time thing? Where's the love for Sammy Baugh?

[MTK]

This list is for current players, top 100 in the game right now

[Lotus]

My bad. I remember seeing a top-100 of all time and was thinking of that.

[mooby]

Well look on the bright side, if any Redskins do make the list we'll know sooner rather than later simply because we know we already don't have any players worthy of top 50 consideration based on last year's play. Fletch should be on it, but since he's up there in years I would expect him to be somewhere in the 70-90 range.

Yea there definately the top 3 elite. But Andre is too injury prone to be put on the same level as Larry IMO, and Calvin just cant run the route tree like larry can. IDK, the heart larry displays and the catches he makes in big situations are incredible.

P.S- Calvin Choked for me in Fantasy playoffs this year!!!
But i honestly believe Calvin is not as good of a WR as Larry, he just cant do as many things as Larry, and larry is way better over the middle..WAY BETTER.

We are familiar with what Larry Fitzgerald can do on the field. On my list, I listed new WRs because of the impact that they had on their teams last year. Julio Jones, Calvin Johnson, and Victor Cruz made it to the post season. Mr. Fitzgerald however did not. That was the reason why I excluded Larry Fitzgerald.

Julio Jones was not even the best receiver on his team LAST year, as much potential as he does have. He is a beast and will be dominant.

You're right. Jones wasn't the best receiver on the Falcons last season. Although a top ten draft selection, he was just a rookie. We saw flashes of what he can do and he did make some great plays last year. But in my opinion, Julio Jones is one of the best in the NFL even now although he didn't show it statistically as a rookie. He had only 59 receptions and almost made 1,000 yards. His 17.0 yard per catch was super productive even for a rookie.

Fletcher made it. He seems to finally be getting some respect around the league.

[REDSKINS4ever]

Some players are fading out. Ray Lewis and Terrence Newman are falling. Others like Victor Cruz and Alex Smith are on the rise.

[Kindoy]

Top 10:

In Order:
Tom Brady
Aaron Rodgers
Drew Brees

In no order:
Calvin Johnson
Ray Rice
Demarcus Ware
Darrelle Revis
Patrick Willis
Arian Foster
Julius Peppers

*Peyton is obviously top 3 when healthy, but as of RIGHT NOW nobody knows

[That Guy]

fletch and rak should make it, but neither will be above 80... that's it though.

[REDSKINS4ever]

Any defender who has made the pro bowl more than once in recent years deserves to be mentioned. Fletcher and Orakpo could very well have their biggest years coming up this season. I count them both among the elite in the NFL.

[skinster]

Ok, 80 more to go, Here's my prediction (I have 81 because I'm not sure if Jason Peters is eligible).
