Top 100 NFL players by Pete Prisco

[polamalubeast]

Pete Prisco is an idiot

Polamalu 39th???

James Harrison 99th???


39.Troy Polamalu....Yes, he's a good player. No, he isn't as good as most think. He's good in the run game, but he has issues in coverage.

How in the Hell does he have Marcus Ware, Calvin Johnson, and Darrelle Revis higher than Drew Brees?

[oneforthetoe]

I'd rank Pete Prisco number 4008 on a list of sports reporters.

[steelreserve]

Seems he is hugely swayed by passing/receiving stats and pass rushing stats.

I wouldn't put Polamalu that low; if Reed is going to be at #26, Polamalu ought to be either at #25 or #27; they're both that good. But I totally get the point about coverage problems. Just like against the run, Troy is awesome against the pass when he's allowed to move freely in space. But when they assign him to straight-up cover someone, I've seen him get burned and make silly mistakes enough that I'm not too comfortable using him that way. That's a valid point, but only half the picture. All the other things he can do that no one else can, far outweigh that one part of his game.

[SteelGhost]

Oh ! More rankings :horror:

[zulater]

Prisco is an ass. He has a long standing dislike of Troy and tweets often about it to get under the skin of Steeler fans. I stopped reading his bs ages ago.

[ALLD]

I'll take Fitz over Johnson and Brees over Rogers and how did Antonio Brown not even make the list?

[st33lersguy]

How the hell does someone create the illusion that 98 players are better than James Harrison? Is it because Harrison won't conform with Goodell's bs policies. Also how is Polamalu ranked number 39? Special safety who has instincts few have, perennial pro bowl, one of the 5 best defensive players in the NFL, and this airhead thinks 38 players are better than him?

[Bluecoat96]

As far as the comments about Harrison, what signs of age? Is Prisco referring to his back surgery? Is he referring to the games Jamesmissed because of a FREAK EYE SOCKET INJURY? If so, that's ridiculous.

Prisco = ass-hat.

[GBMelBlount]

It would be nice if Harrison, Woodley and Polamalu were healthy this year....

...and I too am very surprised Antonio Brown was not on this list.

[Devilsdancefloor]

This is the only way this asshat gets people to go read what he writes.

[slippy]

harrison's eye socket fracture was not a freak injury; he was headbutted (helmet to helmet, roger!) by a texans offensive player.

[X-Terminator]

And you all gave him the attention he wants because...?

[Steeldude]

Harrison is far better than Woodley.

Geno Atkins is better than Ndamukong Suh?

[steeldawg]

Joe haden at 55 ranked ahead of mike wallace roddy white and victor cruz??? How does joe haden even get on the list???

[BigNastyDefense]

I didn't bother reading his drivel, this guy's a fucking idiot.

A season ago, Polamalu was the Defensive Player of the Year. 39th?????? He didn't have the picks last season, however he made plenty of big plays.

Harrison at #99? Fucking really. He's got 12+ sacks if he doesn't miss four games due to a broken eye socket. That's not age, that's just bad luck.

[sgtrobo]

This is the only way this asshat gets people to go read what he writes.


exactly. He's a talentless, clueless hack who can only generate web page hits by criticizing a beloved player of the largest fanbase in the NFL. I refuse to click any link that contains his writing, because he benefits from it, and I don't want to feed his ego nor his pocketbook, and his writing damn sure isn't worth my time.

[salamander]

Who is Pete Prisco? :noidea:

[tube517]

:yawn: Nothing to see here.

[Bluecoat96]

And you all gave him the attention he wants because...?

because we're all unhealthily obsessed with anything related to the Steelers...duh! :flap:
