It's the Top 100 Players of 2011. Meaning, going into the 2011 season, who were the top players in the NFL in 2010. Pretty much every other player on the list was judged on their 2010 season, which is why guys like Josh Freeman and Mike Williams and Arian Foster will get on the list.

Those were the criteria the players had; who did the players think were the top 100 players IN 2010. Much as I respect the guy, he was no a top player in 2011.

It's even sillier when you consider that guys like Matt Schaub and Eli Manning were left off the list, despite playing better, posting better stats, and in Eli's case, having a friggin' Super Bowl ring.

It's a huge slight that a guy like Brian Orakpo, who's gone to two straight Pro Bowls wasn't on the list by McNabb was. Same thing with London Fletcher (who, by the way, also has a Super Bowl ring, which McNabb does not have) and Landry, who was on his way to the Pro Bowl before he got hurt.

For frak's sake, VONTA LEACH IS ON THE LIST! All he does is lead block! Mike friggin' Sellers had a better stastical season than him!

But the only Redskin on the list is McNabb? That's ridiculous, bad season or no.

Oh well. One more reason for Rak to be pissed off and rip some heads off next season...

I did not know that Schuab was left on the list. Maybe I have to reserve judgement on Rak and Fletch seeing as I tend to see things through burgundy colored glasses at times. However putting McNabb on the list and leaving off Schuab? That's just turrible.

Then again part of me thinks they do stuff like that on purpose. As getting a bunch of people to say "that sounds about right" doesn't create as much buzz as "they left who off the list!?!?!?!"

I think Defensewins is right. It's the top 100 players that are active today. Which can be vague, but it's not limited to 2010

Sorry I had you on my block list. I just couldn't take it after I saw you were against the War on Drugs.

Well it is voted on obviously by the players. I think there has to be some bias in there because of friendships and whatnot, but if a guy like Vonta Leach is voted up as high as he is on there, he must be doing something right. He did have a breakout season of sorts last year, what with blocking for the NFL's leading rusher.

I'm not sweating seeing any Redskins other McNabb on the list. I think it will honestly just make them more eager to prove themselves this season so that guys like Orakpo and Landry will be on it next season. I thought Landry himself was having a major breakout season before he got injured last year. As far as McNabb goes though, if it was ranking the top 100 players of 2010 there's no way he'd be on the list. But some players voted like they were ranking the top 100 players of 2010 and others voted based on lifetime accomplishments.

Fletcher should be in the top 10, I'd have to think he should be one of the most-respected players in the league and he DOES have the stats on top of that too.



No respect.

Combination of the Redskins not being great and there being a collective pity party around the league for the Redskins "wronging" McNabb.

I've have been thinking that the whole time. It's ridiculous.

He's by far the best player on the team, I know we suck but come on people give 98 his due.

And as far as JPeppers I think top 10 for him is a stretch, dware is better than JP IMO.

[CultBrennan59]

Random thought here.
The list hasn't included Julius Peppers yet.
Either he isn't on there...which would be some BS

Or,

He's in the top 10 best NFL players...which is also some BS

[hooskins]

Its like this list is the best players currently playing in the NFL as of 2010 AND those who had a breakout season in 2011.
