JJ Watt tells it like it is. Calls NFL Networks Top 100 list a complete joke.


Recommended Posts

It really is just a popularity contest amongst the players with actual production playing a minor role.  Definitely more name recognition and maybe the respect factor mixed in.  Although if NFL network wants anyone to take their off season filler countdown remotely serious, they need to say the players eligible to be ranked had to of at least played in 50% of the previous seasons games.

I don't think it's debatable that whether he was injured or not last season, he was/is one of the top defenders in the league. Which is why he was on the list.

Watt is just taking this stance to make himself more relatable/humble to fans.

whether he played or not last year, he is still the best defender until his surgically "repaired" back proves to not hold up 

It's specifically  supposed to be based on play in the season of the rankings.

Unfortunately the players don't even understand the exact rules whether it's based on last season, body of work or future expectations. It's what they always seem to argue and debate over every year on their reaction shows. Last year Peyton and Marshawn got enough votes to be in the 40s or something and they had take them off the list due to being retired. Peyton was fresh off one of the worst individual performances of all time, as well as everyone knew he was done, so the rules are really vague.

Well said.

Is Kuechly the only 1 we have left on the list?  I mean I'm assuming he's still there if Watt still made the list.
