Prediction: Ravens in Top 100, 2014.

[TonyTone1192]

I won't lie, after an 8-8 season in 2013 I was a bit shocked to see some of our players on last years list. So, I am probably low-balling it with 6 on the list after a 10-6 campaign.

88. Steve Smith Sr - What can we say about the ageless wonder. Most of us thought that In training camp Steve would settle in as a nice compliment to Torrey. Well Steve ran away with number 1 duties and was our most complete receiver all season. It seemed that anytime Joe needed a big play #89 was his safety valve. Steve was simply a football player making football plays. Reason I have him this low is because Steve did have a drop in production for all of the mid-point in the season.

70. Marshall Yanda - Our best and most consistent lineman for several years now. Best o-lineman on a top 5 offensive line. Don't have the numbers(I did vaguely look) but it seems that we averaged more rushing yards to the right (Yanda's side) than we did to the left.

52. Justin Forsett - After we picked up Tali in the draft I honestly thought Fosett would have either been 3rd option or released after TC. MAN WAS I WRONG! Forsett was a stud all season. Leading the league in yards per rush. His vision and burst through the hole was simply amazing. After pierce fumbled the starting job away Forsett picked it up and ran away with it, literally. Not only was he great at picking up yards but he was also phenomenal at picking up blitzes and keeping joe clean. An all-around back. I'd have him higher if it weren't for that 3 game decline at the end of the regular season.

40. CJ Mosley - If it weren't for Aaron Donald then Mosley would've won that DROY award. At times during the season I almost forgot that Mosley was a rookie. I mean when you have teammates comparing your abilities to Ray Ray's then you're certainly no ordinary rookie. Led the team in tackles and I honestly don't remember him missing any tackles(Unlike Elam) it seemed that he was ALWAYS in position to make the play and he usually did.

28. Haloti Ngata - Was the anchor in our savage front 7 this year. I do believe he had out first TWO ints this year if I'm not mistaken(I'm 100% sure he had our first one tho) lol This guy is a block eater, one of the main reasons why Our front seven was so dominant because you almost always have to double team him. On run plays if he wasn't bursting into the backfield then he was eating up blockers for Mosley and Smith to make plays. On passing plays if he wasn't puncturing the pocket then he'd either eat blocks for doom and sizzle or come away with with a pbu, and a couple int's.

17. Elvis DOOM Dumervil - The season that we expected after we picked him up from Denver. Started the season relatively slow but picked it up in a major way. When he was ON, he was not blockable. Teams HAD to either keep a TE on that side to help or RB to chip block because he made RT's look silly. Ravens single season leader in sacks(Congrats doom).

3 players that I wouldn't be surprised to see on the list, but I tried to remain as unbiased as possible; Flacco, Sizzle and Daryl Smith.

Yours?

[berad]

Sizzle will be on there, Flacco too. Joe Flacco was 58 in 2013 when he had his worst year. Suggs was 26 last year and turned in a strong, 12 sack season with a memorable playoff INT.

 

Daryl Smith is a good player but too inconspicuous to make the list, you're probably right to leave him off.

[redrum52]

Yanda, Suggs, Mosley, Doom and Flacco. Would like to see KO there but doubt it. Ngata might get his props too. Was hoping this was the year Jimmy would make it...

[codizzle]

Flacco and sizzle will 100% be on there

[GrimCoconut]

Flacco, Dumervil, Mosley, Yanda, Forsett, McPhee for sure IMO. I think Suggs, Brandon Williams, KO, Will Hill, Daryl Smith, and Smith Sr should also press for a spot. Those are my guesses. I'm not sure where they will rank.

[FlocksGottaFeed]

NFL Net gave us 4 Ravens -

http://www.nfl.com/top100/2014#video=0ap2000000363848

 

26 - Suggs

45 - Ngata

55 - Yanda

58 - Flacco

 

Forsett could be there for Lacey at 90

Doom could be there for any of his position players

SSS and CJ could be there as well.

[PurpleCity5]

Flacco, Sizzle, Doom, Yanda, K.O, Forsett, Mosley I think will be there. 

 

Smith Sr.? I don't know.

Is that for this year? Looks like last years rankings

[TonyTone1192]

No Forsett. Led the league in ypc and top 5 in total rushing yards?

If he would've stayed healthy there'd be no doubt he would've been on. Ordered his jersey before this past season

[TonyTone1192]

Flacco DEFINITELY shouldn't have been on last year lol but I ain't mad.

Seeing how this is a QB driven league, I'm sure he'll be there again they usually have 10-13 QB's.

ON 2014 PRODUCTION ALONE

Brady

Rogers

P.Manning

Luck

Wilson

Romo

Big Ben

Ryan

E.manning

Brees

Tannehill

All had better seasons IN 2014 than Flacco

[redrum52]

I think he should make it, just didn't think he would.

[Ravenseconbeast]

Would love to see what featured players has to say about CJ Mosley.

Half man, half amazing.

[FlocksGottaFeed]

Looks like last year or an early preseason prediction. They rated a couple of players high who didn't really play this season and there's no Odell Beckham to be found.

[K-Dog]

This is fun.  I always enjoy when that list comes out.

 

I am not going to be bold enough to try to guess ranks.  Lets just say some where between 99 and 2

No doubt.
Flacco, Nagata, Sizzle, Yanda.

 

Maybe,

Forsette, CJ, Doooooom

 

After all much of it is a popularity contest.

[GrimCoconut]

I don't know about Ngata. His suspension could hurt his chances

[TonyTone1192]

Indeed it is. I guess Flacco is much more popular than I thought because his 2013 season was one to forget

[TonyTone1192]

Flacco, Dumervil, Mosley, Yanda, Forsett, McPhee for sure IMO. I think Suggs, Brandon Williams, KO, Will Hill, Daryl Smith, and Smith Sr should also press for a spot. Those are my guesses. I'm not sure where they will rank.

The combo of Brandon Williams and Timmy Jernigan have me ECSTATIC for the future.

[sflegend89]

Mosley absolutely deserves a spot but I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow get's snubbed (again)

 

My Guesses in no particular order: Yanda, Doom, Sizzle, Forsett, Mosley

 

 

Flacco, Ngata, Brandon Williams, KO, and Smith Sr are tough calls, no way they put all those Ravens on the list so at least a few will get snubbed, Ngata's suspension makes me think he won't make it and Brandon Williams is criminally underrated so I see him missing it as well.

[52520Andrew]

Yanda, Doom, Sizzle, Flacco, Ngata, maybe Mosely. Brandon Williams is a great player but he is pretty underrated so I don't see him on, Forsett had a good year but I don't know if that gets him on this type of list, I don't see KO getting on, O-linemen hardly ever get on these, don't see SSS getting on.

[stampedehero]

I won't lie, after an 8-8 season in 2013 I was a bit shocked to see some of our players on last years list. So, I am probably low-balling it with 6 on the list after a 10-6 campaign.

Yours?

+> I would place Tucker in the top 20.  

[Grapple Raven]

Agree!  Koch statistically had one of his best years also, as Rosburg praised his play when he was snubbed for the Pro Bowl this year.

 

I declare Daryl Smith just continues to get overlooked, and the man plays a staunch, competitive game extremely well (not to forget how C.J. credits Daryl with being his mentor and teaching him so much of the professional part of the game as well as the game itself)...ya gotta feel for the guy (personally I would love it Daryl got a SB ring)!

[HoldingCall]

Because there are 32 teams, I seriously doubt as many as five will make the list of top 100 players but here's mine: Flacco, Forsett, Dumervill, Yanda, Suggs. They may bypass Mosley due to him being a rookie and kickers (Tucker) usually are not included.

I agree for Daryl Smith as he is a 100% effort guy.  Good choice my friend.

BDub played on a great front seven and didn't record many stats(not saying he's not great) but I don't see him on it this year, for that reason. And NFL network has I think 6-8 o-lineman on the list every year so you have to STAND out in order to be on(I don't agree with it, but it's only so many lineman highlights you can show) lol

[TonyTone1192]

Yanda, Doom, Sizzle, Flacco, Ngata, maybe Mosely. Brandon Williams is a great player but he is pretty underrated so I don't see him on, Forsett had a good year but I don't know if that gets him on this type of list, I don't see KO getting on, O-linemen hardly ever get on these, don't see SSS getting on.

IMO, SSS had a better season than Sizzle

[TonyTone1192]

Haha if this list is TRUE to it's title I'd put him top 10. KICKERS ARE PLAYERS TOO!!

I see what you're saying, Mosley might not be that high but Luke Kuechly and Kiko Alonso both made it their rookie seasons. Id put Mosley in that class

[stampedehero]

They are scorers.  Win or loss depends on them in some games.

According to Elliot Harrison on NFL.com, CJ Mosley isn't even good enough to be considered as part of the "all under 25"team at inside linebacker. What a joke!
