figured this might interest some here

 

[Sea Bass]

Great Find Bri,

Not sure of some of the rankings (i.e., A. Green 5-star and Brees 4-star), but the information is greatly appreciated.

 

[fruity pebbles]

Ahman Green at 5 stars and Michael Bennett at 4 stars are flat out funny.

 

[Warpig]

I wonder what team would be willing to sign SA to a fat deal? He turns 29 this year and we know what happens to RB's once they hit 30.

 

[CrossEyed]

Why is David Boston still so highly regarded?

Great Find Bri,

I'm also part of the group that still thinks highly of Ahman. I don't see why he's fallen out of favor so much so quickly

 

[Bri]

that does seem odd. Weak WR "class" this year though. Look at the guys beneath him. There's a few like Kevin Curtis that I'd certainly rank higher but I mean in general

I'd be absolutely giddy if the Steelers signed him.

The most overrated WR in Pro Football history.

On one hand, I also think highly of Ahman still.OTOH, I can understand how he's out of favor as he looked terrible this year.

I doubt he leaves GB, but I'd be thrilled to see him in Pittsburgh.

 

[Bri]

well, so why no love for a guy that got almost 1900 yards 3 years ago, 1100 and then got hurt

I think the guy could still put together a nice season. He is big and fast and he could still be a great red zone target. If he were picked up by the right team, he could be a serious threat. Of course he would still have to stay healthy for longer than ten minutes.

Oh, and stay off the roids.

 

[ExaltedOne]

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Boston in a Skins uni. He's just the kind of big, physical target we need across from Moss. Maybe if he was put on a winning team he could get his act together. Remember he didn't do so bad in San Diego with over 800 yards and 8TDs and he did lead the league in receiving one year in Arizona. I'd take that from my #2 receiver in a heartbeat.

I'd much rather they went after him or Antonio Bryant than David Givens.

Abraham, Howard and Kampman would also be nice additions.

Patten make ya sour on Patriot WRs?

He singlehandly destroyed that team. He showed up less than half the time and got a majority of those yards and TD's in a few games. The rest of the time you could see he wasn't even trying. Good luck if your team gets him and gives him major playing time.

Patten make ya sour on Patriot WRs?

Yes. I think he became the starter in New England only because of their lack of quality receivers (similar to how Patten started for a while). The Redskins need a quality guy, not another Taylor, Thrash, Patten clone.

Somehow I think the Redskins coaches are much better motivators than those in San Diego that year.

 

[fruity pebbles]

He's 29, the injuries are piling up, he's looked terrible down the stretch in 2004 and all of 2005, and was outplayed by Samkon Gado.

 

[Bri]

I thought Gado played after Green was hurt? When did Gado play when Green was healthy?

 

[Cecil Lammey]

I think he's just saying that over the course of the season Gado looked better than Ahman.

I've thought the Steelers might try and get Ahman this offseason. They should've gotten Eric Shelton in the draft, or they can wait until next year when Michael Bush comes out.

 

[David Yudkin]

well, so why no love for a guy that got almost 1900 yards 3 years ago, 1100 and then got hurt

Green is 28, has averaged 4.5 four times as a starter, and is one of only 8 players with over 7,000 rushing yards and a 4.6 career ypc. (Brown, Sanders, JBrooks, Simpson, Barber, Holmes, and Garner)So you basically are writing him off based on one season with a whopping 77 carries in a year when he was hurt and coming off of 4 straight Pro Bowl seasons. He has had three Top 5 and 2 more Top 15 fantasy seasons.

If he is healthy I see no reason why he could not repeat his prior success.

 

[Bri]

bump

 

[BoltBacker]

Great find Bri, but these ranking have to be done by a casual fan at best.

I really like how they break down positions but look under CB;

Four Stars - Nate Clements and.... CHARLES WOODSON?!

Yeh, those two are about the same rank.

Seems like there are plenty of other "name" players that are ranked too high, as others have mentioned.

He's 29, he'll actually be 29 1/2 by the time the season starts. And all those accomplishments are in the past. Watching him run over the last year and a half, it certainly appears time and the wear and tear of the NFL have caught up to him. He wasn't running like the same back he was before even before the injury.

 

[Family Matters]

I agree Bri. I think he's better than many give him credit for.He played injured and that's why he looked bad. People not realizing this are underestimting him I think. Whoever ends up with Green is getting a nice RB.

As of today he is still 28. DOB 2/16/77. IMO, he still has 2-3 productive years in him, especially if he recovers from an injury that has been around since he left college (or so he says).

 

[David Yudkin]

Great trade to acquire Green in the first place . . .

Seattle Seahawks traded Ahman Green and 5th round selection (Joey Jamison) in 2000 to the Green Bay Packers for Fred Vinson and 6th round selection (Tim Watson) in 2000.

 

[slimflop]

Take it for what it is worth but Shannon Sharpe on Fri was discussing A Green and said his injury has a 12-18 month recovery period.

 

[Kevin Ashcraft]

This list is putrid......Chris HORN above Kevin Curtis/K-Rob/Brandon Lloyd?

Heck, I like Horn as a scrub WR for the CHiefs but to rank him that high is hilarious.

That thing is HORRIBLE!

The hype for that guy is outrageous every year. He does nothing every year. I dont understand it either.I think the WR for the Rams will all go down a little in value this year without the crazy offensive scheme Mike Martz had in place. I think they will focus a lot more on the run.

 

[football fan]

Ahman Green didn't play much his first few years in the NFL when he was in Seattle, I am not sure how much creditability the wear and tear of the NFL argument has in this situation.

I have concerns about Ahman's ability to stay healthy, but wear and tear of the NFL arguement isn't the reason why I have those concerns. If he can stay healthy, he will be a force because he can run inside or outside, plus he is a good receiver, so he isn't a RB with concerns of not having a complete game.

 

[Bri]

fair point about his time in Seattle

 

[cstu]

Jamar Fletcher is NOT a 3 star CB, perhaps they missed watching the Chargers' secondary this year?

 

[AB in DC]

Any idea what the stars are supposed to signify? Why is Jamal lewis (#6) listed with four stars but Ahman Green (#17) is listed with five?

(edit: the numberical order looks like a much better list if you ignore the stars...)

 

[Jason Wood]

I disagree with the ratings system in a big way, but the sortable list is great just to keep track of movement. for the heads up.

The 2004 Minnesota Vikings MIGHT disagree with you.
