Peter King\'s top 500 NFL players
 

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...100/index.html

I'm amazed anyone would bother making a list this long, but at least it gives us something to talk about.

Among my favorites:

41. Vince Young QB, Titans
42. Marvin Harrison WR, Colts
LOL

63. Calvin Johnson WR, Lions
Hater

214. Michael Vick QB, Falcons
Real kick in the face to those other 276

459. Joey Harrington QB, Falcons
Like this guy

I like Kevin Williams getting some love.

Re: Peter King\'s top 500 NFL players
 

lol Wes Welker is above Anquan Boldin and Marques Colston.

Re: Peter King\'s top 500 NFL players
 

He has Adalius at #21, way too high. He must have on Pat colored glasses. Bush at #19 is way too high. He's good, but not rediculous just yet.

Re: Peter King\'s top 500 NFL players
 

The top 15 should be QBs. Urlacher at 7 is comical.

You guys are forgetting that Urlacher is white and that Wes Welker is now a Patriot (and white).

When I read this I can't believe someone would spend so much time on something so few people would actually read in-depth.

I think there is merit in having Champ, Peppers, and Seymour up there.

I don't like Harb Arkush but he had a fantastic quote on radio:
"The legend of Wes Welker has grown a lot since signing in NE".
Nice player, but to me he's like Roscoe Parrish.

Re: Peter King\'s top 500 NFL players
 

Roscoe Parrish is awesome.

Edit: clearly, he's a top 15 player.

You left out the best part, which is the comments.

41. Vince Young QB, Titans May succeed Vick in role of NFL's Jordan
42. Marvin Harrison WR, Colts At 35, slipping a bit and not as physical

When was Vick the NFL Jordan?

If Marvin is slipping its very slightly. His numbers are down a little, but its obviously a result of having other talented receivers around him. As far as the "physical" comment, he was never remotely physical, so he hasn't become any less physical.

Re: Peter King\'s top 500 NFL players
 

King is a moron. His fantasy draft this year for sports illustrated is one of the worst teams ever assembled. I dont understand how he is an NFL expert, or how he can watch something so much and understand it so little.

Some of the other teams are just as bad. Sabino's receivers are Calvin johnson, devin hester, roscoe parrish, robert meachem. The structure is also retarded with any TD being 10 points. There is maybe 1 good team.

Are you saying this is too low, too high, that he's not in the best shape of his life? I'm a little confused as to why you singled this one out.

Oh, and I agree about Marvin Harrison. LOL.

He ranked him way too low and then the reason is an untrue statement about why he ranked him so high.

Re: Peter King\'s top 500 NFL players
 

Yeah, after reading his comments a little bit more, this thing is hilariously lol.

Santana Moss not a WR? CJ and S.Moss is not bad for a 12 team league, especially when your QB is Bulger and you start 3 top 25ish rbs (Maroney, McGahee and Duece), have a decent RB backup (J.Jones) and a top 6 or so TE (V. Davis).

Re: Peter King\'s top 500 NFL players
 

McNabb at #72 below a guy who has never played a down in the NFL (Calvin #63), and also below three quarterbacks that he is unquestionably better than (Young #41, Rivers #38, Hasselbeck #20).

I mean, I know he said age matters, so that can help explain Rivers and Young. But Hasselbeck is older than McNabb.

Re: Peter King\'s top 500 NFL players
 

Champ Bailey at 6 and Nate Clements at 49? Hmm...

[/ QUOTE ]

He has Winfield (a bit overrated), Mathis (very good), Asomugha (very good), in between those two. I think Clements is slightly better. I think he has favored Seattle, San Diego and NE over some other teams. Those teams are very good but still they don't deserve that many players in the top 50 in the league.

I think Gore is underrated, #72 is way low. I guess injury concerns might leave you here, but he did lead the NFC in rushing last year. If he's going to put Kerrey Rhodes at #29 for being so young and so good I don't see how he ranks certain players.

As someone pointed out Matt H at #20 is pretty rediculous. Roy Williams (WR) is better than #90. Westbrook is better than #96. Pacman should be hire especially if Hester is that high. Eli is too high. I guess Roy Williams (SS) is right where he belongs, maybe too high. Lee Evans should be higher. Colston way too low. Bob Sanders is way too low 196. Mario Williams is way too low. I think Landry (Redskins) is too low. Then again I like Rookies.

I dont think Winfield is the 2nd best CB (which by the way you typed your post It looks that way but I didnt double check the article). So maybe King has him overated but he has never made a probowl, so in general he is vastly underated.

Real kick in the face to those other 276

Vick should either be way higher or off the list completely, King provides no reasoning either.

It would be very difficult to rank 500 NFL players, but just compare where he has Hasselbeck to and where he has McNabb, what a joke.

WTF? He should be off the list. Not because he is going to jail, but because he sucks at football.

Re: Peter King\'s top 500 NFL players
 

WTF top 500? Peter King is insane. No comment on list, er maybe later. 500!?!??!

edit: The criteria: importance of the position (I had quarterback, left tackle, pass rusher and cornerback at the top, but with room for the explosive player), talent level and age -- with a nod to young players on the cusp of a breakout season (I rank opportunistic Jets safety Kerry Rhodes 29th.

LOL. Okay.............

Palmer should be 3rd, Rivers higher. WTF McNabb 72. wow.

Re: Peter King\'s top 500 NFL players
 

How many consecutive years has Brett Favre been in the best shape of his life? By 100 I expect him to be made out of solid gold.

King fantasy draft:

Mravic 2 6 18 Reggie Bush RB

King's Top 500:
19. Reggie Bush RB-KR, Saints
243. Adrian Peterson RB, Vikings

I thought Kampman at 16 was nuts, but in the actual physical issue of SI, King goes into more detail on this ranking. It actually made some sense.

132. Jordan Gross T, Panthers LT, RT ... it's all the same to him

134. Jammal Brown T, Saints MVP of a rebuilt offensive line

WTF?? Brown is a franchise LEFT TACKLE. Gross is a decent RIGHT TACKLE.

How dumb can you be?
