That is an abysmal list.

You gotta be fu&$ing kidding me..
What a bunch of douchebags..They need to retract that sh&$ ASAP..
Man that pisses me off..irresponsible ignorant journalism on their part..Just goes to show you that it was all just a fluff piece to get viewership and that hacks were in charge of putting together the list.Paul 13 and dolfan7171 like this. -
Holy crap, this might be the worst list ever!
-
It's a really bad list and I don't think it has much of a purpose other than to prompt angry reaction.
Tebow, Pouncey, and Kuhn being on that list are pretty amazing though. -
lol John Kuhn. I didn't even see his name at first glance. A ****ing fullback.
-
What's scary is it's the players who made this list. Also shows they all probably don't have a strong preservative of the whole league and other players which makes sense since they have little time in the season to do so.
-
Wake missing is mind boggling.. however if they weregoing strictly on last years play I also wouldn't put Jake as high as 59..

Wow...even if you look at individuals, Chris Long over Cam Wake ?? I don't see that, not that Long didn't finally have a year that befitted his draft status, but over Cam ?? Chris Johnson and John Kuhn over Reggie Bush ?? Johnson is a better rusher than Bush, but not last year.... Bush had more yards, TDs and YPC than both...
Just another popularity contest... -
Jason Peters is not better than Long. Peters has been on the decline for years.

This is just proof that NFL players are extremely shortsighted.Paul 13 likes this. -
I think we are misreading the title of this list. Actually, it reads "100 NFL Players We've Heard Of"
-
I think this is basically a popularity list compiled without much thought by the players.It is an obvious oversight.
Cam Wake has only been around the NFL for a few years and perhaps he has not made many friends or made the rounds of invitational golf competitions or other events where players meet .
I would bet the less deserving players on that list are the gregarious popular types . -
Yeah, the Chris Long over Cam Wake is absurd. Other passrushers rated higher than Cam:
Dwight Freeney
Derrick Johnson
Lance Briggs
Elvis Dumervil
Justin Tuck
Trent Cole
Von Miller
What a joke! -
This list is just the biggest organized troll on the NFL fan base. The NFL network is unwatchable this time of year because of that ****ing list. Anytime you turn it on they're replaying shows about it over and over and over again, and NFL Network talking heads dissecting every little aspect of it about who was snubbed or rated too high or too low.
Do yourself a favor and ignore the NFL Network and this list this time of year.djphinfan likes this. -
Here are the real pass rushers that were ranked above Cameron Wake:
DeMarcus Ware
Terrell Suggs
Jared Allen
Jason Pierre-Paul
Julius Peppers
James Harrison
Tamba Hali
Elvis Dumervil
Justin Tuck
Trent Cole
Von Miller
Lamarr Woodley
Chris Long
Clay Matthews
Jason Babin
Just keep something in mind. Among them, only Dwight Freeney, Justin Tuck, James Harrison and Clay Matthews had fewer sacks than Cam Wake. Everyone else got to the quarterback more than Cameron did in 2011.
And there are guys like John Abraham, Robert Mathis, Aldon Smith, Brian Orakpo, Chris Clemons and Jabaal Sheard that have just as much (if not more) right to be upset at their lack of inclusion on this list as Cameron Wake. -
The PLAYERS have spoken!!!!!

Pro Football Focus has Wake listed @ 16th in their rankings that just came out today. No other Dolphin made the list.
https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/05/03/the-pro-football-focus-top-101-players-of-2011/
They also have him listed as the most productive edge rusher over the past 3 years.

Hopefully, the new scheme will put him in a better position to get more opportunities.BlameItOnTheHenne and Sceeto like this. -

Maybe it will serve as motivation, but if it were me, I'd realize that any list that ranks Jason Peters over Jake Long is not worth being on. Whatever. :sleeping:

Looking at the total NFL list, he's only tied for 26th, and is one of three guys in that top 26, along with Dumervil and Woodley, to not have a forced fumble.
http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/defense/sort/sacks
At some point the list had to stop including pass-rushers, and after looking back through it, I have a hard time arguing that Wake should be on the list over some of the other pass-rushers. Over some of the other players at different positions, sure, but over other pass-rushers, not so much.ckparrothead likes this. -
