Ravens in NFL Top 100 Players of 2013

580 posts in this topic

Yeah I also expected him to be in the 50s, but apparently he's gonna be higher than I thought.

 

Based on the commercials, it looks like Ngata will be in the 40s. Imagine that, 3 Ravens offensive players will likely be in the top 40 (Flacco, Rice, Smith).

 

The previews never lie. Ngata at #42.

 

Do we know how many Ravens total are on the list? I'd imagine Torrey, Ed, Rice, Suggs, and Joe are all on the list. Although as high as we are now, Ed and Suggs are pushing it....

 

9. Suggs already appeared at #56. Though they weren't clear if they meant current Ravens or Ravens from the SB team. I'm thinking current Ravens.

 

Flacco, Rice, Smith, Ngata, Suggs, Dumervil, Jones, Pitta, Leach. There's your nine, imo.

Torrey in the top 40??

I like him but that's way too high imo. I don't know if he's there at all

I tend to like these rankings, I don't really get all offended by it like a lot of people do (not necessarily people on this board) but the unbridled narcissism in the reaction show from all the analysts really grinds my gears. "WELL ITS OBVIOUS THESE PLAYERS DON'T REALLY WATCH FOOTBALL, IF THEY PUT HIM ON HERE!"

 

Their job is to play the game, not analyze it. They're not paid for that. The list is for fun to see how the players feel. Its a slightly better version of the Probowl.

Torrey is not going to be on the list. I don't know why you all think he will be.

 

 

Maybe because he was a key player on the 2013 SB Championship Team?

 

If he's not there, he should be.

I think most of us just want him on the list. It is more likely, that it will end up being Ed Reed.

So there are only 3 players left. Rice and Flacco are locks, imho. Who's the 3rd? Torrey, I hope.


I don't know if Rice is a lock. I'd say Torrey, Flacco and Yanda.

They showed him a lot in the previews, so I expect him to be there. But I agree that we're getting in "he's way too high" territory, especially since it looks like Julio Jones will be revealed in the next episode. 

 

Maybe the countdown really is for Ravens from the SB team. In that case we're looking at Flacco/Rice/Reed most likely. But I just can't see Torrey being overlooked in favor of Pitta.

Rice is 100% a lock. Not even a question.

Ed Reed has no business being in this list unless they asked Tom Brady and Bill as well as Brandon Weeden and maybe Andy Dalton. He's not a top 100 player anymore.

Same thing could've been said about him and Ray Lewis on the last list or the one before. Respect for past accomplishments go a long way. And Reed had a very impressive carreer even if he was just along for the ride on our championship team. Torrey definitely would deserve it more. Just ask Champ Bailey.

Him from 100-70 range I could have seen but not above guys like Cruz or even Welker at his position.

I'm thinking three more Ravens in Flacco, Rice, and Yanda

There are only 40 players left. So you're gonna see names like Roddy White, Julio Jones, Larry Fitzgerald, and Calvin Johnson. Torrey is NOT in that category. He's not going to be ahead of Victor Cruz, Vincent Jackson, and Dwayne Bowe. And he's certainly not going to be ahead of Ngata and Sizzle.

Revealed at 42 tonight, the last defender I assume - unless Dumervil is up there

I assume Dumervil will be listed as a Bronco. Boldin was listed as a Raven

I agree, but really he should been in front of Champ Bailey at least.

I know I didn't include him in my predicted three 'Ravens'. He could be up there but he's running out of space

So when they say 9 Ravens are we definitely talking 9 Ravens from the SB team?

 

If that's the case: Flacco, Rice, Reed, Pitta, Jones, Boldin, Suggs, Ngata, Pollard.

 

There's your 9.

 

If it's current Ravens, replace Boldin, Pollard, and Reed with Smith, Dumervil, and Leach.

I think it has to mean from the Superbowl team.  I'd be shocked if Leach was in the top 40, but it could be Yanda, a little less surprising.

If Leach is in the top 40 it's because Patrick Willis put him there. lol.

I believe Leach was in  the top 50 last year, so him being in the top 40 wouldn't surprise me that much.

 

Yanda should absolutely be on the list but he won't be because he doesn't have the name recognition.

The said there's only one olineman left. No Yanda, because there's zero chance that olineman isnt Joe Thomas.

Last year, here are the Ravens that made the list:

74. Joe Flacco

45. Vonta Leach

22. Ray Rice

20. Ray Lewis

16. Ed Reed

11. Terrell Suggs

09. Haloti Ngata

 

So far this year...

100. Dennis Pitta

93. Anquan Boldin

88. Jacoby Jones

87. Bernard Pollard

56. Terrell Suggs

42. Haloti Ngata

 

That being said, I think we've yet to see Rice, Flacco and Reed.  Possibly Leach.  I do not see Torrey on this list, not yet.  He is lacking that breakout season.
