Default ESPN ranks all 106 Super Bowl 42 players

Quote:
1. QB Tom Brady -- Patriots

Brady is without question the best quarterback in the NFL and is arguably the most outstanding player going into Super Bowl XLII.




2. WR Randy Moss -- Patriots

Moss is coming off a historic regular season, and every defense has to game plan around him.




3. DE Osi Umenyiora -- Giants

He was one of the toughest defensive ends to block this season. His combination of size, strength and athleticism draws many double-teams.




4. DE Richard Seymour -- Patriots

He is a big, physical force inside, but his stats don't really reflect his importance.




5. DE Michael Strahan -- Giants

Strahan had an outstanding season as a run-stopper and pass-rusher. Plus, he still has great quickness off the edge.




6. WR Plaxico Burress -- Giants

His great athleticism and size make him difficult to cover. The Patriots likely will put extra defenders on him in the Super Bowl.




7. OG Logan Mankins -- Patriots

Mankins sets the tempo while putting pressure on defensive fronts with tenacity and strength.




8. CB Asante Samuel -- Patriots

Samuel has excellent quickness, tremendous ball skills and an outstanding ability to react well out of zone coverage.




9. LB Mike Vrabel -- Patriots

He is one of the most versatile players in the NFL. His instincts, short-area quickness and toughness make him tough to game plan for.




10. OG Chris Snee -- Giants

Snee is an effective interior lineman who has the grit and strength to set the tempo in the trenches.




11. DT Vince Wilfork -- Patriots

He is a load inside who works with a low center of gravity. He also pushes the pocket well as a pass-rusher.




12. DE Ty Warren -- Patriots

Warren has been an effective pass-rusher off the edge but also shows natural power for holding the point.




13. WR Wes Welker -- Patriots

The Patriots' leading receiver in the playoffs. He often is Brady's X factor in the passing game because he can turn short routes into first downs.




14. OT Matt Light -- Patriots

He is a steady competitor who shows great athleticism as a pass-blocker. Plus, he has great patience and technique as a run-blocker.




15. QB Eli Manning -- Giants

Manning is turning into a true leader and is having a tremendous postseason. He is making great decisions with the football and, most importantly, not throwing interceptions.

I don't really care about these sorts of ratings articles, so I almost never reply. However, in this one, I just have to say....

Wow! I'd like some of whatever the author is smoking, please.

Default Re: ESPN ranks all 106 Super Bowl 42 players

I skimmed the list and if it shows anything, it shows that the Patriots really have some depth. It looked like the bottom of the list was more giant heavy and the top of the list was Patriot heavy. For instance, 10 of the top 15 players are Patriots, and Kevin Faulk is ranked around 33. You would think that the starters would be 1-44, but there are a lot of Patriot afterthoughts who are pretty high on the list.

That list is really really horrible. I'm usually not one to sh1t on lists but my word...Bruschi at 22 and Meriweather at 60 tells me all I need to know about this list.

Ranked top 70 for grins

1-10 Pats 6 Gnats 4
11-20 P 6 G 4
21-30 P 5 G 5
31-40 P 6 G 4
41 50 P 2 G 8
51-60 P 7 G 3
61-70 P 4 G 6

Through top 50, it is dead even, 25 each, but 8 of Giants are in the last 10.

Looks to me like, once the writer got past the top 30, he just started dropping in names.
