1. Aaron Rodgers, QB Packers

2. J.J. Watt, DE Texans

3. Tom Brady, QB Patriots

4. Aaron Donald, DT Rams

5. Khalil Mack, LB Raiders

6. Rob Gronkowski, TE Patriots

7. Luke Kuechly, LB Panthers

Kuechly has established himself as the best middle linebacker in the league, and he’s constantly evolving his game. His instincts have always been top notch and, over the last few years, his blitzing and pass coverage has steadily improved.

13. Cam Newton, QB Panthers

Even after an MVP season, people are still sleeping on Newton’s quarterbacking skills. Yes, he’s the biggest run threat at the position, but he’s much more than that. Newton is excellent in the pocket, comfortable working through his progressions and one of the best and most active quarterbacks before the snap. He puts all of those skills on display here:

 

 

 

 

Meh.  Not going to post the link.

Bleh. MVP season with no receivers at the time whatsoever, and still went 15-1 with the whole offense on his shoulders. Cam doesn't make it to the top 10 in most of these rankings. But Rodgers somehow still manages to get to the tippy top. If I remember correctly, his season last year wasn't the most stellar for him at all. But oh well. 

When Cam makes his MVP season this year look like child's play next year, the media pundits will still manage to find some silly excuse as to why he's not the clear number 1. It's their job after all.

Still don't know how Donald and Mack are ranked ahead of Luke.......        Both are basically one year wonders,  and do not deserve to be ahead of someone like Luke,  that has been at the top of his position since he came into the league.

 

That is the logic most are using when it comes to not including Cam in the top 10 of these insignificant lists.         Oh well,  at least these lists offer up some form of a talking point.

Im guessing their sack #s is whats pushing them so high.  The media loves SACKS.

Come the fug on bro #13?

Cam doesn't have to be the best "QB" in the game yet to be the best "player". Those are two different things .

I mean they put overrated piece of poo Drew Brees at #9. What in the actual fug?

Connor Orr step on down bro

Cam had a MVP season (15-1) wjth a Super Bowl run with weak WRs and weak OT in a vertical offense.  No other QB in the NFL could of done that because no other QB physical could of survived and made it work.  

13?....smh

I like how the author praises Cam as unrecognized for his greatness and still puts him at 13. What bullshit. 

 

It's like the media had a mindwipe to the things Cam did last season. 

It's a mindwipe of the last 5 years. Let's face it, Cam is going to have to prove himself every year.

Pretty stupid article, attempting to rank players based on how they'll be in 2016 before training camp.

For the record, there are 6 Panthers on the list:

Luke #7

Cam #13

KK #23

Kalil #52

TD #60

Greg #65

[for the curious: J-No ranked at #67]

no Stewart or Turner even though they were pro-bowlers in 2015.

      Bryce stats past the sticks

      That's a very incorrect statement right off the bat, coaches get fired for winning ugly all the time.  Every coach of a playoff team that then gets fired, got fired because they won ugly and didn't improve their players enough to win in the postseason. Guys like Andy Reid have been fired for "winning ugly" like you said, because they kept winning in spite of the improvement of their players. Also, "this is a fanbase starved for wins" is a statement I also don't agree with, I'm not "starved for wins", I'm "starved for a winning and contending franchise" which are two VERY different things. If the team and fans just want to win some games, then that's a loser mentality, sorry, but it is.  We should want to contend, not win a handful of games.  Every time this comes up I point back to the Lions the last 5 years or so.  They were losing games but improving every week while doing so a few years back.  THAT is how you improve as a franchise and move the needle towards contending, not winning games ugly.

      this is true.  But NFL Ss and defenses are actively taking that away and playing to take them away vs most teams.  The problem thus far in BY's career......is they are cheating and not respecting the deep game which makes the smaller/mid range game harder to pull off.  and Dallas is an anomaly game.  using those random games that run counter to vast work......doesn't really change the discussion/issues in Carolina.  Bryce Young took the shots this week because they were not just NFL open but college open.    Wide open dudes downfield that really were coverage busts/issues.
