No Phins on the list?!?!? Close was J Long and J Porter but didn't make the list. No mention of R Brown either. Another Dphin hater.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]You will scan my annual list of the top 50 NFL players in hopes of finding your favorite players, and then it will happen, coming on like a bad cold. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] The rage will fill your entire body, the heat building inside like a small inferno. You will curse. You will use my name in vain. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] You will hate me. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] You will wonder how I got my job. You will wonder if my father is the head of CBS. And then you will vent. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] I'm ready. Give it to me, because unlike a lot of scouts and football writers, I stand by my convictions. [/FONT]
Should tell you all you need to know right there. Well.....That and the fact that he had three...Count 'em...THREE guards ahead of Jake Long, yet, had Clady and Roos on the list, but not Long.
Look....Prisco loathes the Dolphins. He's a writer, and, he makes his living being an opinionated D-Bag.
From Major Leauge;
Rick Vaughn: "I thought you had to do something good to be famous."
Jake Taylor: "Not if you do it colorfully."
Should not be on the list imo:
C Palmer, R Wayne, M Roos, C Portis, D Mcnabb,
Is this supposed to be current or including past efforts? Some of these players have not been that good for a few years now. At one time they could have been considered top players. But not now. They must have made it on their reputation.
You do realize that Portis had over 1400 yards rushing last year.
He was and is an elite back in this league. So you believe Ronnie should get mention but a 1400 yard back did not deserve his ranking. 6 of his 7 seasons have been over 1200 yards rushing
I agree with you on this point.
However, this list is laughable. This is the 50 best players in the NFL. In no world is an interior lineman more valuable than a left tackle to a team. I'm not saying those guys aren't great Guards, but, c'mon....Interior line is for guys that don't have the instincts, feet, or other measureables to play OLT or ORT. Then, toss in the fact that he puts Clady in at 16, but completely leaves Long off the list? Please.
not saying I agree with the list but for someone to criticize it and say Portis does not belong and Brown deserves mention automatically makes less sense than Prisco . No offense to the poster, just we dolphin fans wish we had a back that has been as consistently good as Portis
Do agree there. Add in that Portis has played in two systems...not just the very RB freindly Shanahan system in Denver.
Speaking of which, I will be very, very interested to see how Clady performs this year with the philosiphy change.
