Despite not having played in an NFL game in two-plus years, Michael Vick, the Eagles quarterback still wound up No. 88. No other backup at any position made SN's top 100. Nor did several accomplished starting QBs — Cincinnati's Carson Palmer, Dallas' Tony Romo, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers, Jacksonville's David Garrard and Carolina's Jake Delhomme among them.

Among the NFL legends who filled out ballots for SN were Hall of Famers Dan Dierdorf, Mike Ditka, Art Donovan, Bob Griese, Dan Hampton, Ted Hendricks, Paul Horning, Sam Huff, Stan Jones, Leroy Kelly, Paul Krause, Jim Langer, Steve Largent, Larry Little, Mike McCormack, Randall McDaniel, Hugh McElhenny, Lenny Moore, Anthony Munoz, Alan Page, Mel Renfro, Gale Sayers, Lee Roy Selmon, Jackie Slater, Lynn Swann, Fran Tarkenton and Jack Youngblood.

Noteable Panther players to make the list: Jon Beason, Julius Peppers, Steve Smith, and Jordan Gross.

Despite not even being on a team until preseason started, Brett Favre came in at 51. Take that with other questionable rankings such as Vick into consideration, how the hell did DeAngelo Williams not make the list?

No respect I tell ya! :incazzato:

The national guys tend to underrate Williams and overrate Julius Peppers. This article is just par for the course. What a joke though that Willie Parker makes the list and Deangelo doesn't...and that Peppers is rated higher than Jared Allen, Osi U, Justin Tuck, and Mario Williams.

I suppose it makes up for his own fan base hating on him and underrating him.

I still dont understand how he didnt make the pro-bowl with 20 td's and 1500+ yards rushing.

He never gets respect, yet everyone on TV and radio calls him the second best back in the league behind AP. Lest we forget AP lost 9 fumbles last year, D-Will didnt have 1. I'll take D-Will anyday.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
