Cool drop by ESPN. I want to argue some of the players but every player is graded on every play he made this year. Hard to argue with experts breakin it down.

They say Desean Jackson, Clay Matthews, Peyton Manning and Jamal Charles were average players this year. Redskins
had no elite players and only one good player (Kerrigan).

My thoughts
1. How is Alf bad? He's average at worst
2. I disagree with Breeland being "bad." Biggers, Amerson and Clark all deserved that bad ranking.
3. I'd have moved Cousins, Orakpo and Tyler Polumbus from average to bad. If RG3 was bad (he was), then Cousins was too.
4. DeSean definitely was good. Put up good numbers despite playing with absolute ? at QB.
5. I could see both Trent and Lichtenstiger as being good. They got the job done.

    Alfred morris salary been 570k, next year its 650k. Man RB's get stiffed. He'll likely have 2 or 3 more years of good production and half his prime he wwould have been paid peanuts relatively speaking.

    Khlail Mack already listed as elite. Top 4-3 OLB ahead of Von Miller?? I gotta get up on him

    that ? is a good drop and pretty much sums up the niners season. They overrating Borland though just b/c he had a ton of tackles doesn't mean you are elite. He was a total liability in coverage. Things that either Willis or bowman would have shut down. Vernon Davis and Crabtree were pure garbage this season. and Kaepernick was all over the place.

    It even says Borland shows liabilities but still call him elite. White LBS stay getting hyped (except Clay Matthews is called average and is a way better player than Borland).

    Interesting that they say Stevie Johnson was good this year with 450 yards, but Crabtree was considered bad with 700. Film must be showin something.

    We need a pass rusher up the middle badly, this article is wrong.

    This whole ? is flawed bc they're rating individual seasons with words that have overall status connotations

    You woudnt/shouldnt say a player had an 'elite' year, you'd say he is an elite player.

    So how can borland be elite already. How is Greg Olsen elite after 7, 8 years of underachieving. Cmon

    That makes sense b/c Johnson probably played 50% less snaps than Crabtree. All in all they both average wr's.

    I think they meant solely for this seaso n....Boreland definitely helped keep the defense together once Willis went down but I agree he couldn't do ? in coverage

    Larry Donnell was rated a bad player..wtf dude was a undrafted free agent from Gramblimg St practice squad player and in his first chance of legit playing time posted solid numbers.

    I don't need ESPN to tell me about my squad, I know who they are. I need ESPN to tell me If the Bears should draft that Safety from Alabama, Landon Collins, or that FS From Louisville who had 14 picks this year, with the seventh pick in the Draft
