Favorite NFL players aside from your team

Post #1 » by **bleu** » Tue Aug 2, 2016 6:12 am

Besides the guys on your favorite team, who are some of your favorite players in the NFL?

The first one that comes to mind for me is Drew Brees. I've always been a huge fan of how he handles himself on and off the field, and the dude is just a winner. There's just something about him that sets him apart for me, and the only times that I would ever cheer against him is the two times per year that he plays my Panthers.

Another is Jamaal Charles. I just simply watching him play. He's a playmaker, a hard worker, and an all around beast on the field. I just really appreciate his style of play. I hope that he's back at full health this year and we get at least another few years of watching him play.

Larry Fitzgerald. How could you not want a guy like him to be successful?

Bobby Wagner is a guy who I've been watching and cheering for since his first game in college. He had just one scholarship offer, to at the time one of the worst teams in the country, Utah State. He put up some of the best stats in the country every year, turned them into a very good team, got drafted, won a super bowl, and is now the highest paid at his position in the history of the NFL. Incredible talent.

Other than those guys, I also really like Derek Carr, Julius Peppers, Stevie Johnson, and Doug Martin

Brandon Marshall because he's crazy and for that popcorn muscles comment he made about Joey Porter.
Anquan Boldin will always be a Raven to me and I liked him before he ever came to Baltimore.
Jay Cutler for being a brooding dick.
Vince Wilfork The U
Tom Brady-always rooted for him and Belichick to beat Manning and the Colts/Broncos

The Chargers are my team. I don't switch loyalties. I see you switched your basketball loyalty to the team that had the best record in history and then signed another star. Nice.

I pull for the Cardinals yes. I didn't see an s at the end of team in the thread subject.

Yes, I'm onto you. Noticed when they signed Durant you switched your favorite team logo to them, then started a thread on the general board asking everyone who their favorite teams were. You said the Warriors because "they were fun to watch".

Btw, I would have become a fan of any team he went to, tbh. Boston, Clippers, etc. As long as he left OKC, I'd be happy.

Oh, well in the thread you started you didn't mention that is why you chose the Warriors but that you were a fan because you "liked the way they play".

This is also true. I believe I stated, "I didn't grow up a Warriors fan".

In another thread asking, Why are you a fan of your team? I gave a response.

The Sonic's were my first love. A fan for more than 20 years. But, I could never root for the Thunder. I still get a sick feeling whenever I see their games on t.v. (which I try to avoid). Similar to how Cleveland fans feel towards Baltimore, I would guess. I don't think the bitterness will really ever go away.

Thankfully, KD decided to jump ship.
