NFL Top 100: 90-81

Just a refresher, the NFL top 100 is a list of the top 100 players in the NFL voted on by the players. Although not all players were able to vote. The NFL is made up of roughly 1800 players, so just to be voted to this list means that you’re in the top 5 to 6% of the NFL. This list is also a reflection of last season’s performance and not of your overall career.

Lets take a look at numbers 90-81 that were just announced, with some various stats just for comparison (like i said before its a little hard to compare offense to defense).

90. Joe Flacco

16 starts, 3622 passing yards, 25 TDs, 10 ints, QB rating 93.6

89. Adrian Wilson

16 starts, 76 solo tackles, 2 ints, 2 sacks

88. Vernon Davis

16 starts, 56 rec, 914 yards, 7 TDs

87. Jordan Gross

16 starts

86. Josh Freeman

16 starts, 3,451 passing yards, 25 TDs, 6 ints

85.Jason Babin

16 starts, 44 solo tackles, 12.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles

84. Josh Cribbs

16 starts, 23 receptions, 292 yards. 1 TD

83. Mike Williams

16 starts, 65 receptions, 964 yards, 11 TDs

82. LaMarr Woodley

16 starts, 35 solo, 10 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 2 ints

81. B.J. Raji

16 starts, 29 solo tackles, 6.5 sacks

So, no Chargers in site for this part of the list, but I really have to wonder who the hell is doing the voting? What players are voting? After looking at this list Shaun Phillips got snubbed!

The voting seems a little flawed, you rate Josh Freeman over Joe Flacco? Granted he had a good year, but if its rated on performance from last year look who got to the playoffs. How can you rate Josh Cribbs this high or even put him on the list? He may be a special teams guy, but didnt do much last year. You take a look a Jason Babin (the seventh year wonder, almost a first round bust till this year), he had 2.5 more sacks more then Phillips but besides that not a better player, or better stats.

What does everyone think? Is it me or did Shaun Phillips get SNUBBEDin the voting. I hope its not just me. We will continue to watch to see what other Chargers made the list…  Stay Tuned.
