Fox Sports ranks the top 100 players in the NFL.

[X-Clown]

Unfortunately, it's not in list form. 4 Panthers made the list, Jordan Gross at #51, Deangelo Williams at #48, Jon Beason at #42, and Steve Smith at #27. Former Panther Julius Peppers came in at #23. Top 5 were Peyton Manning, Brees, Brady, Big Ben, and Chris Johnson.

Big Ben top 5? Of course a defensive player would not make the top 5.

[The Saltman]

i was thinking the same thing about big ben...lol either a defensive player (that I can't think of) or Andre Johnson should have been in the top 5.

[Baschski]

Vilma at #77, a full 35 spots lower than Beason. As it should be.

[X-Clown]

Revis was the top ranked defender at #7, Demarcus Ware and Jared Allen were next at 9 and 10.

[Baschski]

A bit of irony in the part about Beason.

There are question marks all over the field (and on the sidelines) this season in Carolina. However, there’s nothing but a definite at middle linebacker.

Beason looks like he might not even be playing MLB this season.

[Baschski]

Matt Ryan at #38 seems absurdly high.

Also, only two receivers (A. Johnson and Fitzgerald) were ranked above Smitty. As it should be. Not that these rankings matter at all and not that anyone cares, but it's nice to see some Panthers get the respect they deserve.

At 31 and entering the final year of his deal, Smith is suddenly the senior leader of a Panthers squad now without Julius Peppers, Jake Delhomme and Mushin Muhammad. No one questions Smith’s ability, when he's not playing in adult flag football leagues and breaking his arm. But his teammates? Whether it’s Dwayne Jarrett, Brandon LaFell or Armanti Edwards, someone needs to give Smith some help. If not, we could be looking at another unspectacular 65-catch season amidst constant double teams.

i was not aware that this was the last year of his deal... cause it's not

[thefuzz]

Ben in the top 5 is stupid.

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

Beason seems too low...

[Peppers90 NC]

how many bills players were on there?

[X-Clown]

how many bills players were on there?

The Bills, Seahawks, Bucs, and Chiefs all had zero. I know this is a big surprise since geniuses like Life of Bills Fan insist that Trent Edwards will be a top 5 quarterback.

[brandon_87]

lmao @ jay ratliff, mat ryan

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Shame he couldn't find a place for Kalil on his list. I'm fairly certain he's better than Jay Cutler at playing football.
