Who do you think is the best Safety in the NFL? And the runner-up? \n\nFor me John Lynch wins for sure, and Brian Dawkins (He was injured last year!) still should hold num. 2.

John Lynch has been one of the best safeties for years, however he is in the decline part of his career, does not have the same cover skills. Similar things can be said for Brian Dawkins and Lawyer Milloy. Older players can still make impact like Rodney Harrison did with the patriots, but they are rarely the best in the league.\n\nThe best safeties would be Troy Polamalu (Pit), Ed Reed (Bal), Roy Williams (Dal). Right behind these three are Adrian Wilson (Az), and Sean Taylor (Was, if he can stay out of jail). \n\nPart of what makes a great safety is the scheme. Is he all owed to roam and make plays or is he covering half the field. Troy, Ed, and Roy are all able to play all over the field. Roy is the best hitter of the three, Ed is the best cover guy. Troy was the biggest playmaker last year. I will give Ed a slight edge over the other two since he has fewer starts on his team and has to do more. Ray Lewis is going down in skill and Ed has to be the best on that D.\n\nAnd as far as all time, give the Ronnie Lott and Rod Woodson in the two safety positions and I will take them over any other combo you can put out there.

A lifelong Bronco fan here (40+ years).  Denver is good enough to definitely have a chance at the Super Bowl but honestly it will be an uphill battle.  Next week versus the Chargers will be a good test to see exactly where they are.  I also think Plummer gets a bad rap at times.  Sure he isn't always pretty, his stats are not always the greatest, but a 39-13 record as the Bronco QB is hard to argue against.

I will argue that the Steelers have a very good chance to win the Super Bowl again. The players they lost have been replace already by outstanding players.  At Safety either Clark Ryan (picked from the Redskins) or Tyrone Carter should cover Chris Hope.  Brett Keisel played great in the playoff and will do fine at defensive Tackle.  Santonio Holmes was drafted in the 1st round for the sole purpose to become a great wide receiver, it was sad to see Randle El leave, but we will be fine. Bettis departure was the best way a player could retire, he won a Super Bowl. I don't think the bus had any more gas to keep going anyways.  Duce Staley and Willie Parker will fill the back field just find or even better this year. As for Big Ben he is just getting wiser and better in running the offense. Watch out it's going to be interesting season, I predict back to back Superbowl Champs!

I think it should be the Colts offensive line, not their QB. After all, they are the reason Manning has been doing so well. The others you have listed are great picks. \nI wish that most of these people would understand that the MVP is picked BEFORE the playoffs, not after the Super Bowl. \nMarino, B. Sanders and many others have gotten the MVP and have never gone to the Super Bowl.

It was a great game. I'm a long time Steelers fan and I darn near suffered a heart attack at the end. Great game, but I don't understand why we stoped blitzing in the middle of the game. You can let Peyton Manning off the mat. \n\nGo Steelers!

Fred Taylor has a problem with fumbles, you never know whats gonna happen with him. I do like Foster alot he has awesome speed and picks his holes good. \n\nTake Foster

WHOA dude - that is a good question.  I am so stoned right now I cannot even remember my name.  But I would like to think that it will be cool when the Broncos win the Super Bowl XL in Detroit this year against the Seattle Seahawks.  I think the Seahawks have a great team with Steve Largent, Shaun Alexander and Jim Zorn.  They can move the ball effectively and they should win it all I think.  I got to go to the bathroom now and take care of  business - if you know what I mean.  You ever danced with the Devil?  Man - I am fried right now.  WHOA.

Holmgren will not bench those guys, so you can just keep dreaming.  Alexander was the MVP last year. If he had kept his face off the cover of Madden 2007, he may have been able to avoid the Madden curse.  Since he didn't he has had to sit out for part of the season.  But he will be back and he will not be put on the bench.  Holmgren screwed up with him in 2005 by not allowing him to achieve the top rushing yards honor.  He won't make that mistake again.  As for Hasselbeck, he will come back stronger than he went out.  Need I bring up Trent Dilfer?  Competition just makes Matty play harder.

Bush!\n\nMcAllister and Bush are both struggling -- or at least underachieving. Bush is averaging only 28 rushing yards per game, and McAllister has averaged only 42 yards in his last four. But they should be much more productive in this one. Cincinnati ranks 23rd in run defense (127 yards per game) and has allowed almost as many touchdowns rushing (12) as passing (13). So despite the recent trends, look for Bush and McAllister to play well in this game.\n\nLaurence Maroney looked like a gamebreaker earlier in the season. Now, either defenses have adjusted to him, New England isn't playing as well, or perhaps he's hit the wall. Since his big game at Cincinnati, where he ran for 125 yards and averaged 8.3 yards per carry, Maroney has averaged only 40 yards per game and 3.4 yards per carry. Things can always change in a hurry, but right now it doesn't look like Maroney is going to make a big impact down the stretch. He'll probably continue to split time with Corey Dillon.

This is a very difficult question. \n\nIf you look at both side to side it is almost like looking at Joe Montana and Dan Marino. Montana, like Brady, has the Championship rings. Also, just like Montana, Brady has constantly had great coaches and a decent cast of co-players around him. \n\nManning and Marino have not had that luxury. Both Marino and Manning are regular season statical giants. Breaking pretty much every passing record, neither seemed to have the right mix of players to get through the playoffs. Also until Dungy, Manning never really had great coaching.\n\nIn truth the answer to this opinion question lies in whether or not you feel that Championships or Records make greatness.\n\nI am of the belief that records make greatness so I would CURRENTLY choose Manning as the better of the two.\n\nHowever, Brady is still very young, so the jury is still out.

okok I'm going to nip this in the bud...New England is not going to the Super Bowl please stop hoping and (maybe) it wont hurt that much when they loss the next game.....and Yes denver is in SB contention..with a vetran offense line a qb having the best year of his career, a vet coach with two rings(that looks like G.Bush lol)two running backs that almost had a thousand yards(each)bell with 5.4 yards a carry...the broncos lead the nfl in time of poss and 4 down completion % AND THATS JUST THE OFFENSE ...as for not getting any reconition...the spotlight can only reach so far...if they win one more you'll hear more

logic..and judge is gay....lol..Steelers..they win , they can stop the seahawks run..did you see how SA was shining the second half against the pan?..steelers d is not gonna lay down like that...the hawks have an antsy QB ,the blitz will be perfect..HAHAHAHAHA.....they(hawks have alot of talent, i see how under a great coach they have strived to be better..they deserve to be where they are....but did you see RoeRoe(QB) on fire!!!???!!he was in the zone and the oc was pulling out all the stops...i look forward to the super bowl two great teams and two of the most emotional coaches in the game..since they both had 30 plus points in the last playoff games.... this Extra Large(XL)Superbowl should be one for the ages!!....now the superbowl wait begins!! ...Ben AKA RoeRoe.. Super Bowl MVP!!

I don't know about top 3 because that would be Manning and Brady, but Brees is definitely making a case this year to be considered top 5.  If McNabb would have been able to stay healthy, I might have said he was #3.  Same for Hasselbeck.  I would personally say Palmer is the 3rd best, but it is debatable.\n\nUnfortunately for Brees with that game yesterday, he threw 3 picks, 2 in the end zone that killed their opportunity to win.  Also, one season of leading the league in yards passing doesn't make him the best QB.  Ironic that your screen name is tgreen as Trent Green has thrown for over 4000 yds a couple times, but no one considered him a top 3 QB during those seasons.

Champ is the best in the league. What a steal to trade Clinton Portis for. The Broncos got the better side of that deal.

Yes, everyone forgets how good they are without T.O., 3 straight NFC Championships!  Mcnabb believe it or not still has a good receiving corp in Reggie Brown and Jabar Gaffney and possibly someone else from the draft.  That duo beats any of the duos that they LOSt the NFC Championships with (Thrash and Pinkston).  Eagles had problems on defense and added monsters in Shawn Barber and Darren Howard.  Watchout McNabb is healthy again and has a good locker situation too.

Jim Brown is the best I've ever seen. He was the only runningback I can think of who was able to incorporate so many styles into one. If he wanted to, he could be a power runner and bull doze over you. If he felt like it, he could use his amazing speed and quickness to out run the fastest of linebackers and defensive backs. One person said it best, "You don't tackle Jim Brown, Jim Brown tackles you." Payton is a close second, Sanders is tied with Sayers for third. Emmit was good, but prospered from an amazing line.
