Blue Chips

[SIGCHI222]

I've seen it, and I still eat a whole mess of waffles when I damn well please, no big deal.

 

You are a better man than me.  Had to eliminate waffles from my diet for 6 months.

Crabtree and Dez are on the same level.

 

 

[Verge]

deangelo, tolbert, and thomas davis are not NFL blue chips.

 

DeAngelo I could for sure agree with when argued, however, TD is absolutely a blue chip player.

Calvin

Larry

Green

Marshall

Gordon

Jeffrey

Andre

Julio

VJax

Dez / Crabtree / Boldin / Bey Bey / Cruz

I'd take Blackmon (without the trouble) over Dez any day of the week.

Calvin Johnson > AJ Green > Josh Gordon > Brandon Marshall > Antonio Brown > Demaryius Thomas > Alshon Jeffery >  Dez Bryant > Andre Johnson > Larry Fitzgerald > Julio Jones > Jordy Nelson > Vincent Jackson > Desean Jackson 

 

Maybe one of them is top 15 I guess....

TD could very well be the best coverage linebacker in the game.

In terms of 4-3 OLBs, he's very high up there. The pass rush specialist OLBs (Hali, Houston, Ware,etc) are all very good at what they do, but their primary function is to be a pass rusher rather than playing linebacker.

The only guy who gets nation recognition as a typical OLB is Lavonte David.

Heck many of us can and will debate Davis is currently better than Luke (and yes, there is some legitimacy to that argument, IMO).

I'd definitely throw Star in at top 10 at his position. In terms of run-stuffing space eaters, there aren't many better than him.

You need to factor in the roles these guys play rather than just looking at what the depth chart labels them as.

Ehh

Adrian Peterson

Jamaal Charles

Lesean Mccoy

Arian Foster

Eddie Lacey

Matt Forte

Demarco Murray

Marshawn Lynch

Frank Gore

DeAngelo Williams

That is about how my top 10 goes. Honorable mentions would include Reggie Bush, Fred Jackson, Zac Stacy, and Andre Ellington.

Hmmm at first I was like no way dwill is a top 10 guy anymore, but you know what you do have a point. I would put him 10-12

I don't consider Greg spectacular. But he is certainly consistent. Honestly there aren't many great Tight Ends out there which is part of the reason Jimmy Graham fought for WR money.

This is basically a bar stool topic. I wouldn't consider Deangelo a blue chip player. Not right now. You can show me any statistic or metric you want. I feel like we can get that production out of other guys. Or several guys.

Also when you give Seattle one "blue chip" for Lynch, then give the Panthers one blue chip for Deangelo. It doesn't accurately describe the situation.

Who'd you have for the Saints? Just curious.

Is no one goin to point out that using top 10 as the determinant doesnt make any fuging sense

 

There are different amounts of contenders per position. Lets look at corners. There are AT LEAST 64 starting NFL corners. Thats a conservative number considering how many teams run nickel as the base formation. The 10th best corner is, by definition, better than at least 84% of starting corners. 

 

Now look at running backs. There are AT MOST 32 starting running backs. That is a high estimate because teams who run a true committee are better described as having no tarters as opposed to two, because the limited workload would prevent either from being in top 10 discussions anyway. Lets say DeAngelo is the 10th best RB (which may be too high if you take off the homer glasses and see that he hasnt hit 900 yards in 4 seasons and has average a mediocre 4.2 in the past 2 season), that means hat his is better than, at most, 69% of his starting competition. Wer're talking about a guy who is closer to the median player than he is the best player. That means blue chip to you?

 

You guys are guilty of this when discussing Thomas Davis as well. The league is split almost 50/50 with 4-3 and 3-4 teams, so you're putting Davis against at most 32 4-3 OLBs. Again, it's 32 at most because of how many teams run a base nickel. The way to fix this would be to group people in by their responsibilities, which would place the 4-3 OLBs with the ILBs while the 3-4 OLBs get grouped with the 4-3 DEs. But if you do that, then I'm sorry theres no way Davis still ends up top 10

 

In conclusion, stop using this fraud system to fluff the panthers
