Where do you rank the top players?

In terms of how good of football players they are? Not their impact, their icon status, their entertainment value, but how well each of them plays their position.

I know this is going to be hard for some of you but ignore positional value, scheming around, etc and just rank them in terms of how good of football players they are.

Here they are, in no particular order:

Newton

Gabbert

Peterson

Green

Jones

Dareus

Fairley

Quinn

Bowers

Miller

Rank them 1-10.

Do you mean how good they are right now? Here is my top 10 in the draft "big board" if you will. Not sure that is what you meant though. But some of that is projection which I also don't think you meant.

1. Newton

2. Peterson

3. Dareus

4. Green

5. Fairley

6. Miller

7. Quinn

8. Bowers

9. Jones

10. Gabbert

Maybe explain it a bit better for feeble minds like myself :(

Where they are now in terms of ready to succeed in NFL

Newton 5

Gabbert 5

Peterson 9

Green 7

Jones 7

Dareus 8

Fairley 8

Quinn 7

Bowers 7

Miller 8

The QBs are pretty far away.

The WRs need some time to learn the art.

The DTs will start slowly and gain speed

The DEs need time to get good. It usually takes a year.

Miller should experience success in the right 3-4 system

Patrick Peterson is ready to go now. I gave him 9 because there is a chance he will have to learn a few things, but whoever drafts him, go ahead and break the seal.

UPDATE: I put each on a scale. Misunderstood. FIXING

Peterson

Miller

Dareus

Fairley

Bowers

Quinn

Green

Jones

Gabbert

Newton

I think Peterson is 1, and I hope we take him. After him, I like Green or Jones, because for God's sakes, we need someone to throw to besides Smith, already. What's it been, 200 years this has been a problem? I'll be very disappointed if we draft a DT #1 overall.

I'm hoping we can pick up a FA at QB. Clausen is garbage.

Given that I recently learned that college stats don't matter, what system they came from, their acheivements etc are all crap then it doesn't matter how good they are now, they aren't playing anything or doing jack. And they play different positions so ranking different players who are all number 1 at thier position has to be on some continuum like athleticism, how well they will project into the pros, what tools they bring, who will make the biggest impact their rookie year, who will be the best in 3 years, who will be the perennial all pro, etc.

Until we get a common denominator to evaluate them, this thread is crap like so many others.

      Yeah, Dave doesn't seem like a "muh scheme" type of coach where he wants plays drawn up for his QB to robotically go through a preprogrammed process. He seems like more the type of coach that just wants his scheme to produce opportunities for a QB to be a playmaker. It's a scheme you'd love to play in as a QB and it's the type of scheme that should work really well for the "point guard mentality" QB they tried to sell us on Bryce being and the type of QB he was at Alabama but at the NFL level all of those physical shortcomings that seemed plainly evident to many of us on the college field are showing up in a big way. Even with his bad decisions I honestly think a lot of it is that he's struggling to see the field. I don't mean that figuratively in that he's misreading the defense or missing open receivers, I mean that literally in that I think he's struggling to see the field over the lines of 6'4"+ huge men in front of him. Reich used to talk about creating throwing lanes for Bryce to see through and holy poo... if you need throwing lanes now you've massively shrunk your opportunities. Now you're trying to play QB through a picket fence. If you watched him play at Bama, you saw him routinely drop back 10-15 yards behind the LOS to gain depth so that he could see over the scrum. You just can't do that routinely in the NFL. NFL pass rushers are just too good. Your OTs can't create that deep of a pocket.

      This could be a breakout game for Kyle Pitts. I'm hoping for a miracle just so we have something to talk about besides the team sucking poo.

      No more mistakes on draft day...

      I don't remember a 2018 tear down. I remember the failed 2019 failed build up of the 3-4 switch which is still stuck in the 'working on the foundation' stage. I thought 2020 was closer to that but really it was just an idiot behind the wheel doing what idiots do. Poor drafting and free agents is the main problem IMO. This team hits so little on talent it's actually amazing they don't stumble over more just by accident.   I still don't think there is anything to tear down. Just a ton of easy to dump people that should happen. It's a bottom of the roster churn that reaches 2/3s the way up this roster.
