Are you serious?

1. He is a running back that has not made a difference in win/ losses
2. He is 30 and likely has a shitload of carries on him

How many playoff games has even been in? If anything, I would trade that guy in a second. I wish you and I were GM's right now. I could prob. got 5 1st and 2nd round picks for an overated running back.

AP hasn't made a difference in win/losses? Haha

I figured most people would say Watt, or atleast he would get the most votes.

I also think an elite CB is more valuable than an elite DE/DT or OLB in today's game. A bulk of offense for some teams comes from their #1 WR and having a guy on the field every week to limit or even take that option away is such a huge advantage.

The Jets had Sanchez at QB and went back to back AFCCG with him. His first year on the Patriots they went to the superbowl and won it after not having won for 10 years.

I'd say Revis or Sherman over Watt.

Keep in mind, question is just for this year.

This ought to be good. Who would they take? Sam Bradford? Demarco Murray?

Only debateable answer is Aaron Rodgers

Depends if it's for one year, as Pats said above, or rest of career. I'm taking Rodgers either way but I understand the argument if it's rest of career.

he said

1) no QB which makes Luck a moot point

2) only for this season, which makes picking Luck kinda silly.

c'mon boys, this ain't about fantasy football, get real already



and this homer would take Gronk, 26 out of 32 QB's could find a way to get him the ball. Maybe even Luck could

Watt or Justin Houston. The way I see it is the only way to beat a top QB is to have a one yourself or have someone who can get after him.

dont these two get spanked by luck and manning yearly? brady owned watt in the playoffs and rodgers just lit up houston. and the colts are soft as hell.

I would take a healthy Gronk too. Red zone, blocking, all the attention he draws in the middle of the field.

Just if I were going defense I'd take the elite CB over the elite front 7 player most of the time.

What difference has he made? I'm not looking it up, but his career is 2 years from done and he has won how many playoff games?

AP is the best RB but it is true that the 1 year he had a chance to win it all, he cost the Vikings the season with his fumbling.

That team was stacked too. They dominated New Orleans in that game but turnovers by Favre and AP killed them.

I would take 08 Revis over any current player. He was arguably the most dominant corner the leagues ever seen.

Been meaning to bump this but unless the front 7 guy has a Lawrence Taylor like impact, it is just tough for him to be more valuable than a shutdown CB.

Look at how much the Jets have transformed by adding Revis to the secondary. Look at Houston last week, gaveup 40 to the Falcons just past halftime. Watt has been on a 2-14 team. He just can't impact the game the same way.
