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.

    • He's going way overboard. I mean, men talk this way all the time. Bryce seems like a fine young man. But he's been piss poor at his job. I wish that I could be piss poor at mine---wait, no I don't---and get paid millions.  The thing is, I've supported Bryce in the past, but he doesn't seem to be the type of QB that what I've heard Chris Canry refer to as a "force multiplier." He can't make good players great, he needs great players to make him good. He's not going to pull out a win when times get tough (at least he hasn't), but he becomes good when there is essentially nothing to play for. After trying to give Bryce the benefit of the doubt, and waiting for the light switch to stay on, I'm tired of waiting. I've seen what I need to see, and it ain't pretty. So excuse me for calling Bryce, "pussified" for not being more aggressive in his pursuit of down field plays. He appears to just not have it in him. I'm sorry, Bryce and all Bryce Stans. He's still got to go though.
    • Yeah me too. We should have taken him. He was a much better bet than most of what you find that far down. He might have been 5 stars coming out of high school, I don’t know. Just that he was highly thought of. His college career didn’t get off to a great start and he ended up on a bad team with bad protection. But you could watch him and see what he had. I don’t see a way he doesn’t have a long career as a #2, at worst. 
    • For the record @AceBoogie, I was referring to his unwillingness to push the ball down the damned field. My bad. He just has a problem seeing the field.
