Donovan McNabb Probably my favourite football player. I grew up watching him with the Eagles. He is a tough SOB, and when he goes down, you know it's season ending. He has a pretty great arm, he's mobile, he can create something out of nothing, and his accuracy has improved tremendously over time. His QB vision is very good also, and he does a great job of spreading the ball around to are various WR'sBrian Dawkins This guy is our best player on defense. He is active as hell, he's always there to put a hit on someone, and his ball coverage is pretty good tooJevon Kearse When this guy is healthy, he is amazing. They call him "The Freak" for a reason. He might be the quickest and most athletic DE out there, and he is also very big. He's great at getting sacks, or just rushing the QB in generalDarren Howard I liked this guy last year. Our D-Line was one of our best areas before and after Jevon went down, and this guy was a key part. We signed him from the Saints last year. He is quick and athletic, and he has very long arms, and loves to tip passes. He's also created a few fumbles, sacked a few QB's. He does a very nice job.Jeremiah Trotter Another one of our studs on defense. He is pretty quick, and he is very good at getting sacks, and dropping down the RB for 1 or 2 yard gains. He puts very nice hits on people, and he has good range too. He was our only good LB last year, and he's led the team in tackles for the past 3 seasons, I'm pretty sure...Brian Westbrook This guy is one of the biggest spark plugs on offense in the League. He's a small guy, but when he finds a hole, he is off. He does get tackled for short gains often when there are no openings, because he's not big enough to push past the defensive players. But he is very quick, and when he finds a hole, he can create alot for you. He's also the best RB reciever in football, and a great screen option. McNabb loves to find him along the red zone, he's got great hands, and if a guy is there to block him, he's off. He got a load of TD's last year, and he's a fantasy football player's dream.

My favorite players areDolphins Players: Channing Chrowder, Chris Chambers, and Zach ThomasNon-Dolphins: Rex Grossman and Fred Taylor<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (SBoyd415 @ Jul 18 2007, 02:53 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Why not? He's probably the best WR in the game right now next to Marvin Harrison. I'm a fan of what he does on the field, but off the field he can be a little annoying. (Still not as bad Chad Johnson though...)Edit: or anyone else on the Cincinnati Bengals for that matter</div>I don't think Marving Harrison is the best receiver in the game, by a long shot. He is to small, doesn't like contact, and gets bumped off of his routes easily by good defenses, that's why he hardly ever does well in the playoffs, because he doesn't stay on his route to easily. I think Chad Johnson, Steve Smith, Tory Holt, Terrell Owens, and Andre Johnson are all better and more talented wide receivers than Marvin Harrison. It's debatable about whether he is even the main option on his own team anymore.
JaMarcus Russell - J-Rock is going to be a BEAST!Michael Bush - Steal of the draft. Kid has come in and done nothing but impressed people.Derrick Burgess - Top 5 defensive end in the NFL.Nnamdi Asomugha - Most underrated corner in the league and is a top 5 corner in the league IMORonald Curry - A solid wideout, very versatile. Plus he has my last name.And if your from the U, I like your play. (Devin Hester, Reggie Wayne, Warren Sappm Ray Lewis, etc.)

Maybe Harrison is less physical but hes fast, shifty, smart, knows how to get open and has some of the best hands in the game. and what is this no love for Hines Ward? he is the best blocking WR like, ever.. and hes a good WR period ha
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (SBoyd415 @ Jul 26 2007, 05:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Holt has to be up there if Steve Smith is. Last season Holt had 10 TD's to Smith's 8, and he's a big physical WR with good speed and great hands. I like Steve Smith, but I'd never take him over Harrison. Invalid Video Link</div>hmm thats a nice catch indeed haha, but yes I would take Marvin as the best WR in the league
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (SBoyd415 @ Jul 26 2007, 05:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Andre Johnson is a lot bigger/stronger, but his career is going nowhere in Houston. If you're going to say Marvin Harrison isn't a top WR in the NFL, I don't know how you can put Steve Smith in there when they're both practically the same size and Harrison puts up better numbers. My top five would be: 1) Terrell Owens 2) Marvin Harrison 3) Torry Holt 4) Chad Johnson and 5) Reggie Wayne / Steve Smith</div>His career isn't going anywhere from a playoffs stand point, but there really isn't anything Andre Johnson can do about it. He played with a terrible line, and inconsistent quarterback, and no on else that is even close to a quality number two option on this team. Despite that he still puts up some of the better numbers in the league, and he doesn't get knocked off his route easily when going against the better defenses with more physical corners that jam receivers at the line.As for Steve Smith, I would count him as better, even though he is the same size and stuff. Harrison put up better numbers this year throughout the season, but I look at what they both do against the good defenses in the league. Steve Smith doesn't get knocked off of his route as easily even though he is the same size and stuff. Just look at how Smith has done against teams like the Bears in the playoffs two playoffs ago, meanwhile Marvin Harrison was barely a factor in the Superbowl against that same Bears defense.

In terms of playoffs, Steve Smith may be doing better, but overall as a player he has nowhere near the hands of Harrison (best in the league) and I don't think he's that much faster. Granted Harrison has the best QB in the league, he still is one of the best route runners and knows how to read defenses.You have to take the good with the bad. He's a huge clubhouse distraction but he's one of the best WR's in the league when he's on the field...</div>on the field, thats fantastic, but he can ruin a club, think of Philly a few years ago, they were destroyed because TO. Skill wise maybe TO but if your going to build a team take Harrison.

Steve Smith played 14 games last year...with the extra 2 he would've had similar numbers to Harrison, but without the best QB in the game. He's also better after he catches the ball averaging 2-3 more yards after than Harrison does. Last year when he played a full season he had 400 more receiving yards(would be around 300 if Harrison had played another game), he was averaging another yard per catch and a whopping 5 more yards after the catch than Harrison was. He's also 28 while Harrison is not at a good football age at 35. So yeah, I'd say Smith is better going into this year. Smith and Harrison are also both better than Holt right now in his career. Fitz and Boldin are right up there too, but their numbers are a little down as they are two #1 receivers on the same team, had a rookie QB with the worst offensive line and a terrible coach last year.I wouldn't say Johnson is better than, but with the team he has you really can't judge by stats.Chad Johnson is pretty close to Harrison as well....
