 Re: Stephen Tulloch named to NFL top 100 list
The guy's obviously respected around the league. Good for him for being a stand-up guy and a solid player. Good for us for making positive headlines for once.

He isn't the only player, but he is beyond "questionable." He flat out doesn't belong in the top 100. WJB, when you say "He's not even in the top 100 defensive players" and you pretty much stand on the table to overstate how he has no business making the list: yes you are pretty much implying that he is a bad player. You seem the most upset about him making the list. You haven't voiced your displeasure about anyone else on the list.

 Re: Stephen Tulloch named to NFL top 100 list
Quote: Does Trent Richardson deserve to be on a list of top 100 players? yes. He is the only threat on his team. the guy caused a rule change and is probably the 2-3rd hardest guy in the NFL to bring down. I'm not surprised that the guys who have to tackle him, voted him to the list.

Frankly, I don't care about the rest of the list. He shouldn't be on it. That's the beginning end to what I have to say on the subject. To say that he's not one of the 100 best defensive players in the league is not to say he's a bad player. He's a very average player, and as such he shouldn't be on the top 100 defensive players in the NFL, let alone the top players in the NFL. Sounds like it's more of a popularity contest, with each team voting in the obvious candidates and then one or two "good guys" from their team. Pretty dumb if you ask me.

Saying someone doesn't belong on a top 100 list isn't saying they are a bad player, it's saying they are not one of the elite players in the league. There is a middle ground between great and horrible.

I guess agree to disagree but thats what these lists are for, debate. Personally I think he belongs on the list considering his importance to our defense and his toughness.

I've seen many running backs on bad teams crush those figures. I'm not saying he is bad, but you need better production than that to be on this type of list - especially as a rookie with no NFL history to look at.
