26CornerBlitz Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 SI ranks the NFL's Top 100 Players Before the 2016 NFL season kicks off, SI set out to lend some order to the lists of the league’s elite players, taking stock of every team in the league and every position on the field. The result: Our staff’s ranking of the top 100 players entering this fall, a mix of nuanced analysis and controlled chaos, filled with tough omissions and intriguing debate-starters. #71 LeSean McCoy #41 Stephon Gilmore
dave mcbride Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Geez. Watkins and Dareus are the two best players on the Bills, and honestly, it's not even really debatable. Just stupid.

I know, I've gotten to where I don't look at any "rankings" lists put out by anyone unless I'm preparing for a fantasy football draft.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 11, 2016 Author Posted August 11, 2016 Geez. Watkins and Dareus are the two best players on the Bills, and honestly, it's not even really debatable. Just stupid. I agree.
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Geez. Watkins and Dareus are the two best players on the Bills, and honestly, it's not even really debatable. Just stupid. Agree 100%. But to national media, Watkins was only 22nd in receiving yards and Rex's defense helped Dareus get 5 less sacks than the season before.

But to national media, Watkins was only 22nd in receiving yards and Rex's defense helped Dareus get 5 less sacks than the season before. It shouldn't be about national press with SI. As good as he is, it's not as if Gilmore has piled up big int stats in his career and their football staff should be knowledgeable enough to evaluate personnel and include the Bills' best two players.

I generally agree with. I do think the national perception of Gilmore is better than it is here for some weird reason. Dareus is coming off a down year (as our most of our defensive players). And we struggled to find Watkins for games last year and he finished behind Doug Baldwin. Obviously we know how good these guys. Hopefully, our opponents sleep on them too.
Mr. WEO Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Geez. Watkins and Dareus are the two best players on the Bills, and honestly, it's not even really debatable. Just stupid. Agreed. How does McCoy make the top 100? And Gilmore in the top 50 of all players? Holy cow!
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Agreed. How does McCoy make the top 100? And Gilmore in the top 50 of all players? Holy cow! Because they are both top 10 players at worst at their position.
Mr. WEO Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Because they are both top 10 players at worst at their position. Top 10 perhaps. But SI lists 17 different positions. And the 100 is not proportional to the number of positions. It's just the best 100 no matter position. Sammy belongs on that list. He would easily swap out with Gilmore at his spot.
