It's an opinion piece.
Of course we see many Packers as better then alot of guys on the list. But it's not a big deal, really.

He's not even valuable with his guards. Without them the Giants might as well throw me back there at quarterback.

Jennings said today on ESPN first take that he knows of ZERO Packers players that voted for this list, and a few weeks ago Eric Winston(tackle for the Texans) said he knew of ZERO Texans players that voted for this list. I'm really starting to think the whole list is fraudulent, designed to create ratings for NFLN.

I mean.. if you want to exclude two entire teams from the voting.. well that seems pathetic.

The list.. like most other all star teams or whatnot is nothing more than a popularity contest.. fan voted teams/lists are no different.. see the pro bowl.. alot of times guys that earned the right that year based on performance don't make it.. just another bias filled talking point to generate discuss and more importantly attention. ESPN masters the art of stirring the pot.. others follow.

Example.. Ray Lewis is a HOF player.. a great player when he was in his prime.. that prime has long past.. he still is productive, but there is no way he belong on the list let alone the top 5. Just the truth.. he isn't the impact player on the field he once was.. not even close.

I do think the list was far from perfect, but I found it interesting, well presented, and probably better than what a group of talking heads would put together.

I thought and still think opinion polls are a waste of time. Media hype can sway opinion greatly.

It doesn't matter who is getting surveyed. It is still an opinion. People thinking Hester is a more valuable player than Jennings doesn't make it true or even relevent.

If you want to know who is better, quantify it. Do the calculationa and show your work.

Then you get no stupid arguments like, That proves it, Reed is better than Polamalu.

Your only argument is about an INT should be a -3 not a -4. Or you can't credit the QB with YAC.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
