If Auden Tate comes up with a really good dance, I may change my mind on that one.

Are we basing it on results or ability?


1.) Carson vs. Andy. Carsone, Andy if results.
2.) Chad vs. AJ. Chad
3.) Housh vs. Boyd vs. Marvin Jones vs. Sanu (Pick 1) Boyd
4.) Willie Anderson vs. Whitworth You picked Willie? Really? The 3rd best T who couldn't play on the left side, vs our 2nd best OL ever who played LT? Whitworth all day.
5.) Rudi Johnson vs. Joe Mixon Mixon
6.) Steinbach vs. Zeitler Steinbach (2 different lineman though, really)
7.) Takeo Spikes vs. Burfict Spikes for ability, Burfict for results.
8.) Jerome Simpson vs. John Ross Ross for ability, Simpson for results.
9.) Leon Hall vs Jonathan Joseph Leon. Better than Joseph any day of the week (save for injuries)
10.) Chris Perry vs Jeremy Hill Hill
11.) Chris Henry vs Gio Bernard ????? Gio-van, but weird comparison there...
12.) Justin Smith vs. Michael Johnson Smith
13.) Kelly Washington vs. Auden Tate Tate
14.) Jordan Shipley vs Rex Burkhead Bulkhead
15.) Levi Jones vs Andre Smith 'dre
16.) Peko vs Pacman ???? Again. Adam Jones.

Couple bad vs bad choices there. 

I have to say though, if I had an offense with prime Chad, Housh, Shipley, and Gio... I would convert every 3rd down known to man and Carson would set a new NFL completion % record.

1.) Carson vs. Andy. CARSON
2.) Chad vs. AJ. AJ

9.) Leon Hall vs Jonathan Joseph JOSEPH
10.) Chris Perry vs Jeremy Hill PERRY IF HE COULD HAVE STAYED FIT
11.) Chris Henry vs Gio Bernard HENRY
12.) Justin Smith vs. Michael Johnson SMITH
13.) Kelly Washington vs. Auden Tate TATE

Don't need you to check with me first, cupcake, simply wanted to know your reasoning.

For those picking Turner over Alexander you know the latter was actually once of the best in the league during his “prime” right?

I'm guessing those coupla pairings were sorta high character guys vs questionable character guys. That's just the way I saw it. I picked Spikes over Burfict simply because he could control himself. I liked watching Vontaze play football though.

How can anyone vote against the squirrel?

Interesting, people picking Carson over Andy?

Is it? I think people are being objective. Palmer was far mor talented if you’re picking out of the two in their “primes.”
