Keep in mind for that last rank...there are only 32 teams in the nfl.

71st best player in the league? the dude hasn't shown himself to be top 20 at his own position...and he has vick throwing to him with shady to keep the pressure off the pass game.
When people often judge a player, they are looking at what he's done prior to last season. DeSean Jackson has played greatly for the Eagles ever since he was drafted in the 2nd round in 2008. His level of play probably slacked off in 2011, but in 2008, 2009, and 2010 the dude was a beast.

Yeah, it's all about the "what was", not "what is", which is why fans usually have trouble with accepting the notion of letting go of players too soon. They'd rather have a player for too long than too little, even to the detriment of the team, because of the attachment to "what was".

The dudes career high in recieving yds would have been 14th this year, and his career high in recieving tds (in a different year) would have been 9th this year. His career high in receptions...41st this year. 3/4 of his years...his fumbles would have been first this year. I'm not saying he's junk, but that's not a resume that deems being in the top 100 based on past accomplishments.

well explained. No eagle should ever be in the top 100. No cowboy or giant should for that matter. They all suck, and every win they get is just pure luck. I hate them all.
