Despite not having played in an NFL game in two-plus years, Michael Vick, the Eagles quarterback still wound up No. 88. No other backup at any position made SN's top 100. Nor did several accomplished starting QBs — Cincinnati's Carson Palmer, Dallas' Tony Romo, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers, Jacksonville's David Garrard and Carolina's Jake Delhomme among them.

Among the NFL legends who filled out ballots for SN were Hall of Famers Dan Dierdorf, Mike Ditka, Art Donovan, Bob Griese, Dan Hampton, Ted Hendricks, Paul Horning, Sam Huff, Stan Jones, Leroy Kelly, Paul Krause, Jim Langer, Steve Largent, Larry Little, Mike McCormack, Randall McDaniel, Hugh McElhenny, Lenny Moore, Anthony Munoz, Alan Page, Mel Renfro, Gale Sayers, Lee Roy Selmon, Jackie Slater, Lynn Swann, Fran Tarkenton and Jack Youngblood.

Noteable Panther players to make the list: Jon Beason, Julius Peppers, Steve Smith, and Jordan Gross.

Despite not even being on a team until preseason started, Brett Favre came in at 51. Take that with other questionable rankings such as Vick into consideration, how the hell did DeAngelo Williams not make the list?

No respect I tell ya! :incazzato:

The national guys tend to underrate Williams and overrate Julius Peppers. This article is just par for the course. What a joke though that Willie Parker makes the list and Deangelo doesn't...and that Peppers is rated higher than Jared Allen, Osi U, Justin Tuck, and Mario Williams.

I suppose it makes up for his own fan base hating on him and underrating him.

I still dont understand how he didnt make the pro-bowl with 20 td's and 1500+ yards rushing.

He never gets respect, yet everyone on TV and radio calls him the second best back in the league behind AP. Lest we forget AP lost 9 fumbles last year, D-Will didnt have 1. I'll take D-Will anyday.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      I love paying guys who prove themselves coming into their prime.  Also, it very easy to structure a 4 years deal with 15 guaranteed to be very team friendly and good for both sides.  It's pretty much 12-15th ranked RB money.  We also traded around in that round and got an extra 2nd rounder next year and still got Brooks, who I might add would have been an easy first round pick had it not been for the injury.  It's still all educated guesses but you've adding some cover you ass insurance with these moves in case of injury or just being wrong about a guys talent.  Longer seasons.  You had in all these factors together and this is exactly the kind of move very smart GM's make.  I forgot to add how much Canales uses RB's in his system in the run and pass games.    Chubba is currently tied with Legette for 2nd on the team in receptions.  He is one behind Sanders for 3rd in targets. Canales also loves efficiency and his 5 ypc are elite. And that isn't to say about the guy as a teammate and team leader.  That's worth money too. ESPECIALLY, when you are a bad team and you're a new coach trying to build a new culture. Hell, man could be the lynch pin to this team's chemistry.  Unless Dave and Dan make some extremely stupid move they deserve to build this team like they think is best.   Keep pounding.

      Rookie Tracking - Some Good Signs

      By strato · Posted

      I like the thinking but have to ask, you think he had those notarized in anticipation?  Okay kidding but if Tepper is as involved as people think he would know who Morgan liked.  Also, if Tepper would have been happy with everything Morgan had done in cahoots with Fitterer, well he already had it and fired it. So I think there has to be some divergence from Fitterer somewhere in the timeline, or he wouldn't be here.
