Derrick Burgess is Better Than Donovan McNabb
At least, according to Peter King.
I like the guy, and I like his stuff for SI, but this is just one more bit of evidence that he may need to spend a little less time thinking about football so that he stops outsmarting himself.
Oh, and Brian Westbrook? He's worse than both of 'em. He is, in fact, not as good as Jay Cutler.
Just so you know.


Seriously, I read that list and felt disgusted. What a joke. Vince Young is ahead of Marvin Harrison!?!?!?! Yes, one of the greatest wide receivers of all time is worse than a QB that barely completed 50% of his passes and has a 66.6 QB rating. Philip Rivers is ahead of both, including Andrews, Dawkins, McNabb, and Westbrook.
Plus, if you read the article about his "tough decisions," he had McNabb originally ranked #92 and only moved him up because other football minds told him he was too low!!!
A backup running back (Maurice Jones-Drew) and a special teams player (Devin Hester) are better than Westbrook?!?!?! I'm sure if you asked any coach in the league who'd they take, Westbrook beats them both out (and 70% of the guys in front of him).

I'm surprised Romo's not #1. :-)

Just another stupid list.

Yeah, quite the joke. I almost got all bent out of shape over this list
but there are so many ridiculous rankings that there is just no point in even taking it half way serious.
King's credibility took a big hit in my book.
