- JahRasta311, on 07/23/2008, -5/+33ESPN is up their asses. I'd dare anyone to honestly say Antonio Gates is more important to the Chargers offense than LT.
- Conwaysb0718, on 07/23/2008, -13/+41Eli Manning is mediocre at best. He's hardly indispensable and its sad that the author had to convince the reader that he deserved to be on the list while at the same time admitting that he should never be on the list.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -3/+20The only thing you can depend on Eli Manning always doing is wearing that stupid look of idiocy on his face.
- greenroom628, on 07/23/2008, -4/+20what? i can call out a couple more defensive players that more than deserve to be on that list: umenyiora, urlacher, bob sanders, cromartie, freeney, merriman, polamalu...all guys that make their defenses so much more than what they are.
- Linkin4, on 07/23/2008, -15/+28Buried because MATT HASSELBECK is on the list. Seriously, he's terrible.
- bigwillystyle, on 07/23/2008, -2/+13living in philly its scary to think where wed be if we didnt have westbrook. without hiom to take the load off mcnabs hands hed prbly be banished from the city
- blackinthmiddle, on 07/23/2008, -0/+11As a Giants fan, Eli always showed signs of greatness, but his inaccurate arms was always troublesome. However, he always plays well in the 4th quarter and last year showed that the big game doesn't scare him.
However, I *definitely* wouldn't put him in the top ten! Just going by quarterbacks, I'd probably take Rothlisberger over him. - jrattner1, on 07/23/2008, -0/+11Hahahaha no Chad Pennington?
- Duositex, on 07/23/2008, -4/+14You're right.. the three rings and all the records are a total fluke. You've clearly done your research.
- Julik, on 07/23/2008, -1/+10Yeah Westbrook is the whole offense... If he was not there the Eagles would be the same as the Dolphins.
- opensourcer, on 07/23/2008, -1/+10This list is too debatable.
- blackinthmiddle, on 07/23/2008, -1/+9People have been down on Tomlinson because he didn't have the ridiculous year that he had two years ago and him looking sour on the bench during the playoffs didn't sit well with some. But yeah, I don't see how anyone says Gates, as good as he is, is more indispensable than LT.
People who would argue against LT would say that the running back position is one that you can find replacements for. The Giants didn't miss a beat after losing Tiki. I don't know. Again, I agree with you. - Brew, on 07/23/2008, -1/+9Really, Eli Manning? That is like saying Trent Dilfer was the key to the Ravens in 2000. He did his job and did not make too many mistakes. While the rest of his team was extremely solid all around.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+8Eli Manning: "He's showed the world he can win in his own way and it's hard to imagine another Giant who belongs on this list over him." Umm, how about the Giant's defense? Strahan perhaps? The Giant's would have gotten killed if it wasn't for their defense upsetting the pat's o line. Ridiculous.
- diggstown, on 07/23/2008, -2/+10Antonio Gates over LT2? Who's smoking the crack pipe?
- wezman2, on 07/23/2008, -0/+8No, only because it's difficult to win the Superbowl
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+8Nobody gives a ***** what you think...haha, ain't that a bitch
- Gorgonzola44, on 07/23/2008, -0/+7Anyone who's seen the Panthers play sans Steve Smith knows this guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
- Yimyack, on 07/23/2008, -3/+10Tired is more like it...they had their chance & the Pats blew it. I'm tired of ESPN/SI blowing them.
- erad222, on 07/23/2008, -0/+7Than why are you reading or bothering to click this?
- Raabbb, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6Well they got Joe Thomas right as far as the Browns are concerned
- Chrino, on 07/23/2008, -1/+7Wow, Joe Thomas? He's in his sophomore season. As a Wisconsin Badger fan, I'm excited to see what he'll do in the NFL, but to put him on a top 10 list like this is shocking to me. And this is from ESPN, not some blog spam.
He is a beast though... - Conwaysb0718, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6You assume Ryan Leaf would even show up. Isnt he managing a car wash now or something?
- rightbrainnow, on 07/23/2008, -2/+8Wow, I like Jeffri Chadiha, but Eli Manning...really? If Tyree doesnt make the helmet catch, Eli is still the QB in NY that cant get it done....nonetheless not on this list.
- vision777, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6He wasn't that great in the superbowl and was not the primary reason for the win.
- rightbrainnow, on 07/23/2008, -1/+7he's not terrible, just bald.
- dngermouse, on 07/23/2008, -5/+11Lofa Tatupu is much better than Troy Polamalu and he's like what.. 24 years old?
I'm no Pats fan but why the hell is RANDY MOSS not on this list.. - Yimyack, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6If this list was written 8 years ago he would. But 8 years & a trial later changes things
- boardthis, on 07/23/2008, -1/+6hasselbeck had to endure and survive without a running game and he thrived in that position. try learning about football first before you try to become a knowitall.
- wezults, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5Not the greatest list but its nice to see it on the front page. Cant wait for the season to start.
- Yimyack, on 07/23/2008, -6/+11I wish Goddell, ESPN/SI, would stop getting on their knees in front of Brady & the Patroits. 19-0?
More like 18-1 & one big choke job... - MoralThreat, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5If Eli didn't just win the Superbowl he wouldn't be on this list. Shouldn't be on this list anyways. One game doesn't make a person indispensable. And the whole team won the damn game, not just Eli.
- Chaoticx, on 07/23/2008, -2/+7All I can hope for now is that AP carries my Vikings to the Superbowl on his back. GO AP!!!
- mlvassallo, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5LOL, we got some pissed off Redskins/Cowboys/Rams/Panthers fans on digg.
- kanabiis, on 07/23/2008, -4/+9Gates over LT?? Is this guy smoking crack???? Fantasy Football team owners are laughing their ass off reading this list...
No Champ Bailey but he choose Hasselbeck??? Yea, sports writer my ass - Yimyack, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5Go drink your soy milk.
- Yimyack, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5Technically he's 'retired'...for now.
- xevidentx, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5ELI MANNING?!?!?!?!
- dafragsta, on 07/23/2008, -4/+8But he has a ring and he got it quite a few years earlier in his career than his brother with the rocket laser arm.
- erad222, on 07/23/2008, -2/+63 Super Bowl Wins*
- hockeyfighter09, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4@davdev So you're saying that you would pick Romo a guy who has never won a playoff game in his career over Hasselbeck who has one Super Bowl game under his belt? Come back here and compare Romo with any great current QB after he has won a playoff game first.
- zacharytelschow, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4Injury prone and unproven Adrian Peterson at #4, especially with very capable Chestor Taylor on the same team? Antonio Gates more important than LT? Other than showing some love for Joe Thomas, whom I love, this list is pretty meh.
- rexcom, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4I like how they only put Eli on the list because the Giants won the Super Bowl. Everyone agreed that at best he could just not get in the way of the more talented players on the team. I've been a Giants fan forever and that is all I've ever hoped out of Eli. Leave him off the list.
- fcruz1331, on 07/23/2008, -3/+7Tom Brady is a great quarterback and you can argue he's led the Patriots to more team success than Manning has with the Colts but there is no way he is more indispensable than Peyton. The Patriots we're a team with much better receivers than the Colts last year and there is no player in the NFL that does more for his team, weather it be calling audibles, leading the passing game, or coordinating the offense, than Peyton Manning.
- boardthis, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4because the defense and running game is what put the giants in position to win the super bowl. eli was steady as a rock but he is by no means a 10 top indispensable player.
- Takfam, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4I think it'll be interesting to see if the Chiefs defense can do anything without Jared Allen or if Minnesota ends up being a serious contender with his addition.
- madmaxmedia, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4Regardless of whether Gates belongs on this list, he is a great pass-catching TE. Linebackers cannot cover him, he's a walking mismatch downfield and could produce great numbers anywhere. However, he's not a great blocker.
- Pronoiac, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4People loved to dump on Eli before he won a ring because he wasn't his older brother and now he's a god because he didn't ***** everything up and made a couple nice plays. QB's are always going to get more credit and attention(negative or positive) than they deserve.
- woofers07, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4@Scruffy
I hope you are arguing that Hasselbeck IS the best QB in the NFC, due to the fact that the Seahawks are 8-0 against the supposed "toughest" division in the league. But it sounds like you're arguing against it. - mlvassallo, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Dug for Hass, although Walter Jones should be on that list instead.
