    That might be true for the NBA, but Manning picks apart teams the best in the league.

    QBs seem to last very well into their 30's, now 40s with Brett. Some things could change so we'll have to see.

    So his 14-3 career playoff record isn't impressive? Nor is his 3-1 career record in the Super Bowl? Or his 97-30 record as a starter in the regular season? He might not always have the most eye-popping stats, but he still knows how to win better than most QBs in the NFL, as noted by his career regular season record, and the fact that he's got the 2nd highest playoff win percentage of all time behind Bart Starr, who went 9-1.

    I've removed myself from sentimental arguments. So I just look at things as they are.

    Calvin puts up the same number as all three of them, yet he has a crappy QB, and the shittier team. Call me a homer all you want but I wouldnt trade Calvin for any of these WR's.

    Right now?

    Drew Brees is at the top of the mountain, great accuracy, commands an offense that thrives on ball distribution and not other stars. I'm on that bandwagon as of now.

    Revis was the best this year, but Aso was equally as dominant the year before.

    Add -

    RB: DeAngelo Williams - Guy is a dangerous weapon in the backfield when he has a passing game so teams don't stack the line against him.
    LB: Jon Beason - Another young stud MLB that is going to be a pro bowler for years to come
    K: Ron Bironas - Real backbone to Tennessee's offense ;)

    Uhg. Every time the Titans had an offensive possession I would hope for a Bironas FG attempt. I was never much of an optimist, so I didn't expect touchdowns. I'm a realist.

    That's not a great argument. Oakland is bad. Teams can run on them easily, and the other corners are terrible. Teams aren't going to force it into his side because they don't need to in order to win.

    It's also a reputation thing. Nnamdi's been locking players down for a couple years now and kicked off this past season by becoming one of the highest paid players in the league. Revis just established himself as arguably the best CB with his performance this year. Before that he was a good, promising young player. I'd bet those numbers become more comparable this season.
