AP and Calvin Johnson haven't played a single game in the NFL. That pretty much sums up my opinion on this list.

Oh how I miss the days when ESPN wasn't always trying to fabricate interest in itself. I prefer Aussie Rules Football and tractor pulls to almost all of their "who's now" or "who's #1" that clog their airwaves these days.

Having any kicker ahead of anyone else on that list automatically means it's a list compiled by bored chimps.

i love how they have little "math/stats" to talk about their selections.

Post #7 » by **Harry Palmer** » Thu Aug 2, 2007 3:29 am

So guys who haven't played a game are in, 2 time PB'ers like Rice are on the bubble, but 4 time PB'ers, All 90's team, Super Bowl winners like Bryant Young aren't even mentioned?

Nice.

You HAVE to be kidding me, Reggie Bush makes that list yet guys like Fred Taylor (whois closing in on 10,000 yards rushing) AND Jimmy Smith are no where on it. ESPN is a joke...

How does Jay Cutler not get in?

Bout time Steven Jackson starts getting some HOF recognition.

that list blow, esp with how many unproven players on there.

Post #12 » by **PhilipNelsonFan** » Thu Aug 2, 2007 7:13 am

Seeing Matt Leinart on the list about made me want to throw my computer.

I'm glad I'm not the only one outraged by ESPN's stupidity.

I think you probably are the only one that was outraged by it.

I demand a quality product. I did not receive it.

ESPN is truly the world leader.

Their ability of foresight is unmatched.

I mean... the ability to predict whether a player will make it to the HOF, before they even play a snap.

You've got to wonder why any team hasn't snapped up ESPN to be their Talent Evaluators.

If I were a GM, I'd sit in the War Room on draft day with ESPN on and let Mel Kiper Jr. tell me who to pick.

Clearly Vince Young is a lock at this point. I mean, he was arguably a Top 20 QB last season. What more do you need?

A lock? I'm surprised they have not even erected his own wing yet!

He's also a shoe-in to become the next commissioner of the NFL, and a likely candidate to become the supreme warlord of the world.
