Luke cracking the top 10 this year?

Recommended Posts

So everyone knows the top 100 players countdown done by NFL.com every year is basically a popularity contest; Although having the approval of your peers means at least something if you are a player I would assume.  At any rate, the rankings are down to the top 20 and I'm curious if Luke will crack the top 10 this year.  He was 15 last year and yes, I know it doesn't really matter, but I'm dying for some football and I'll have to settle for meaningless countdowns and such for the next 4.5 weeks until TC starts.

Potential players still left to be ranked (in no particular order)

  • Aaron Rodgers
  • Richard Sherman
  • Jamaal Charles
  • Tom Brady
  • JJ Watt
  • Luke Kuechly
  • Le'Veon Bell
  • Antonio Brown
  • Andrew Luck
  • Calvin Johnson
  • Peyton Manning
  • Rob Gronkowski
  • Dez Bryant
  • Marshawn Lynch
  • Demariyus Thomas
  • Julio Jones
  • Jordy Nelson
  • Patrick Peterson
  • Darrelle Revis

I'm sure there might be a few names I'm not thinking of perhaps, but it should be enough to make an informed decision.  I'm saying Luke just misses the top 10.  Thoughts?

I bolded all the players that I could understand being top 10 in the league last year. Doesn't necessarily mean I think that they were better than Luke, just that and argument for them being top 10 could be made.

I think he is in because the has not dropped off at all so far with his career.  Has been the best mlb since is first snap at the position and has just gotten better.  Everyone knows it too.

Oh I agree 100% that he is the best MLB in the league.  Just wondering if being the best MLB in the league is good enough to get him in the top 10.  The players always seem to go with offense in these countdowns.

So two weeks ago they said there were 2 linebackers left,  last week they did one.  They only have one line backer left and we all know that's luke.  Tonight if he's not on the show we know for sure he's top 10. Too bad I'm sure no more panthers will be on the list except Luke,   so far it's only Olsen and Cam in the top 100.

Don't get me wrong I love Luke as much as the next man ...it just AMAZES me how Thomas Davis gets the habitual snub in everything involving top players.

He has to atleast be the in top 2 (if not 1) at 4-3 OLB. Man of the Year is fantastic and Family Feud is cool but I can promise you he pays attention to these lists, pro bowls, etc... he has said as much. 

Didnt mean to derail this thread ... I have no doubt Luke is top 10. Calling it now "9". But uhhhh .... Maybe a top 50 underrated show should be on the upcoming schedule. In which case Davis should be Top 10. 

Congrats for Luke ... smh for Davis.

    • Such a dumb pick and most of us knew it Ladd would’ve been the perfect match with Bryce But instead they draft XL to fill the void at the X spot because we had a 34 year old Adam Thielen. Then a year later we draft a real X WR and move XL inside where he has absolutely no business being for a list of reasons
    • My logic was hopefully a new HC would have a LOT quicker hook for Bryce. But, that is assuming they would even be allowed. I guess that's a call to the owner's box for permission.
    • I’m not overly defending the pick. I was team Stroud by a country mile but I also knew what to expect as far as ceiling goes with Bryce  I had concerns with Bryce’s arm strength and size. Neither seem to overly be an issue. He’s proven to throw with enough anticipation that he makes up for a lack of velocity. I was worried about the way he played in college not translating to the league. Spending 8 seconds behind LOS. I did also think it would take Young a few years for him to reach his full potential. I also think he’s too smart and accurate to flat out bust which all of seems to be pretty accurate Bryce is someone you can absolutely win with. No one thought he’d be the type to carry a well below average supporting cast to a Super Bowl. He’s fully capable of giving you those 4-5 special plays a game that help your team win. And then you have those rare times where he’s the reason you win like in Atlanta.  All good teams have more than just a QB.  Even the teams that are winning this year all have a lot more than what we have. Supporting cast/defense… more than what we have  As far as Morgan goes I 100% agree. Fwiw he was legit team Bryce during the draft process. I know that for a fact. Last years draft is a complete write off. This past draft still up for debate. TMac and Scourton look solid. I can’t remember the last time I saw Princely win a rep and I’m being honest. Ransom has a little value. I think ETN is a nice insurance add. Evans could be a TE2.    I think this offseason Morgan will get aggressive with trying to land a pass rusher. Whether that’s a trade for Crosby, signing Hendrickson, it’s going to be top priority. We need a ILB. I really like Kaden Ellis. Sonny Styles should be in our draft range. We also need a tight end and it would be interesting to see this offseason with Kenyon Sadiq
