Top 100 players running thread

[get louder at lambeau]

While Williams did have a better season I don't think there is anyway they rank him above Woodson.

What about Finley? Do you think they left him off? Jennings made it.

I doubt he received much (or any) consideration at all. In my opinion, 82 receptions in three seasons, with a most recent season of 5 games played aren't likely to get him much consideration from anyone other than Packer fans for this type of list.

Sick 'em, Brandon! Sick nuts!

They said on the NFL Network that the voting for the list was other players! I'd imagin getting voted to this list by one's peers must be very sweet for these 100 players.

[pbmax]

The players voted for this list. And supposedly, they are ranking them for 2011, though it doesn't specify performances in the 2010-11 season.

So Sitton might be an outside possibility, but I am betting on Woodson esp. if Clifton was 99.

Now that's interesting.
If it is a projection for 2011, it makes Clifton much more of a head-scratcher, gives Sitton and Finley better chances to be included, and raises the possibility (though remote) that Woodson might be thought of as over the hill. Probably not though, and Woodson will make it, while neither Finley nor Sitton will.

So...snubs to Williams, Finley, and Sitton?

I think we are fine-combing this more than the players and Network are. Its titled and explained as a 2011 list, but I don't get the sense its a projection into the 2011-12 season. It reads as though its all about right now, but there is no detailed discussion over the requirements or considerations.

Perhaps someone who has seen an episode of it could explain more fully?

[channtheman]

I think all that 2011 has to do with the list is that it is being done in the year 2011. After the first episode, the main discussion was whether it was more of a lifetime achievement (Clifton, McNabb, Owens as the prime examples as those players most likely will not be that good in 2011) or whether it will be for players that will be really good in 2011. They never really decided and honestly I think it's a lot of name recognition even among the players. I really doubt the players got together to form ground rules about who should get in. I'm not really even sure how the voting goes. Do all the players rank their top 100 players?

If the labor dispute continues into the season, The NFLN is going to start airing 2011: The bottom 100 players. That's the (tarnished) silver lining to the labor strife.

[bobblehead]

Jennings is next to be revealed between 71 and 80. So we have:

Chad Clifton (99)
Nick Collins (96)
B.J. Raji (81)
Jennings (70 something)
Woodson (??)
Matthews (??)
Rodgers (11th)

Anyone think Williams gets the nod over Wood?

I think Josh Sitton is a fabled impact player. Suddenly the best guard in the NFL (right after we won the superbowl). How is it possible he gets snubbed. Also right before the superbowl while discussing the playmaker theory Ron Wolf said that Clay Mathews was top 5 in the NFL and Jennings was top 10 (I think it was top 10).

Ah how I love the playmaker theory.

Didn't he get that award before the playoffs though? Or was it after the Super Bowl?

The Alumni award announcement is dated the 5th of Feb, a day before the Super Bowl. Not sure when voting occurred.

You keep bringing up what he's done. That really doesn't do justice to what he is.

What do you think he is as a football player? If you put all your stock into what he did as a 21, 22 year old and injured 23 year old, I have a feeling you could be surprised when it plays out.

Finley might serve you some crow going forward. You could be right though, maybe he is just what is numbers show to this point, unless you weren't suggesting that either. In that case, what exactly did the 82 catches in 3 seasons even mean?
