Prisco's Top 100 NFL Players

[gzubeck]

As they used to say in the old "Official" Chargers message board. He's an idiot when his opinion of the chargers is negative. A genius when it's positive. That goes for all pundits.

Dam right!

Still retain my opinion that he's driving straight ahead while looking in the rear view mirror. Might as well be a brain dead band wagoner.

I will say I do think talent wise we do look pretty damn talented on paper. If the D talent added and the scheme come together I see no reason we shouldnt be competing strongly for the division. Considering Lynn somehow managed a 12-4 team when the stars aligned and we didnt have major line injuries I think we definitely can push to that level maybe better. To me its all about the D taking the step.

I have said it before and I will say it again--Herbert is the best player in the NFL right now. Prisco's rankings are a joke.

I don’t know if I’d call him the best player, but with his young age, talent and position, he is the most valuable property/player in the NFL today.

Maybe Prisco could explain what he thinks makes a "best" player because his rationalisation for each player makes me think it varies from guy to guy, which makes comparison kinda hard. Doesn't appear to be any consistency.

The only rational way to think of it is does the player have a solid 5+ year career and is he still capable of playing on a high level. Even though younger players on the up trend will eclipse these older players this year he doesn't care. I like Brady but I don't see him as a top ten player anymore especially if this is his last year of playing.

Four quarterbacks in the top ten. LOL. Jonathan Taylor #24? OK.

This won't be popular here, but I think the best player in the NFL last year was Micah Parsons. And I think he will continue to be for a while.

Prisco just dropped his annual Top 100 NFL Players. And, of course, I'm ready to denigrate it as usual. But it does raise some interesting thoughts.

The Chargers have the most players in the top 100. But, he doesn't have a single Charger in the top 10 and only ONE in the top 20 (Herbert at #20). Only three in the top 50.

As I ponder it, he may not be too far off (though Derwin is probably too low on this list, when healthy). The Chargers DO have a lot of great, solid players (Ekeler, Bosa, Jackson, James, Allen) but don't seem to have that one electric playmaker on offense or defense that changes a game or gets mind-popping stats week in and week out.

So, ya. He's probably close to correct with this list (tons of studs, no #1 at their position players).

We'll see how that shakes out this season.

I for one am happier having 9 guys in this "top 100" opinion piece than I am worried why Herbert isn't higher. 9 guys ranking this high means fewer holes on O and D. Better players at 9 spots is better than say 3 guys in the top 30. With 32 teams, the straight average would be about 3 players per team (3.125 to be exact). The fact that we have 9 of the top 90 makes me hungry for September to get here. We are loaded up for this season.

Burrow, who has made a Super Bowl is ranked behind Herbie. So there is a little respect there IMHO.

Justin Herbert is the 20th best player in the NFL. Say that out loud to yourself. Sounds pretty idiotic, right? Whatever Pete. I am sure every GM out there would rather have Justin Jefferson, George Kittle, Zach Martin, Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, etc. to build their team around ahead of Justin Herbert. Sure. Right.

[richpjr]

Prisco is a blowhard, but at least he had Herbert ahead of Burrow.

[equivocation]

Any legit list like this starts with 5 to 8 QBs and goes from there. Having 6 non-QBs in the top 10 and no QBs 10-19 is dumb. WAR and EPA numbers both support this in a massive way.

But then again, who fucking cares?
