The only Patriot starters I did not see in the lists were both offensive tackles and Heath Evans. Hobbs barely makes the cut and Tommy Boy is No. 2.

Just noticed that he considers Asante the third-best CB in the league, behind Champ and Winfield.

This kind of stuff reminds me we have a 3-time champion QB bound for the Hall.....who has an enormous chip on his shoulder

Go get 'em Tommy!

An exercise in futility.

An ambitious undertaking to be sure.

I was pleased to see 5 Pats in the top 40.

And while I didn't get through the whole list, it was nice to see basically the whole pats roster represented.

I agree. You gotta think after the first 75-100, King was just throwing players in whatever spot looked good.

I'm a huge Reggie Bush fan, but I can't believe he is ranked at No. 19, way ahead of players like Stephen Jackson, Larry Johnson and Shaun Alexander. Bush should be that high someday, and possibly in the Top 5, just not now.


I agree with the top of his rankings. Can't say I am upset about Peyton being chosen No. 1 and Brady No. 2, I figured most people are going to rank it this way this year. Peyton is the hot QB at this moment, just the way Brady was years earlier. This can, and hopefully will, change this year.

Yeah, I have to agree on this being an exercise in futility. It's so subjective and there are just so many players.

I imagine this took forever. If it didn't then it isn't at all valid. And if did then it isn't at all worth it.

I was ready to give King credit for undertaking this, but I've decided it was simply a dumb idea to begin with. You don't get credit for for taking on a gigantic misguided project.

And while the ranking of Reggie Bush is silly, Vince Young around 50 is downright stupid. Wasn't he the worst QB in the league last year?

Brady slips a few notches??
