Top 5 NFL Players of 2011

1. Drew Brees: I know Aaron Rodgers is part robot but Drew Brees is the passer in the NFL sorry Rodgers. Yes Brees throws more interceptions but he puts up video game like numbers, broke Dan Marino's passing yards in a season record and the Saints may be marching to the super bowl.

2. Aaron Rodgers: He led the Packers to a 15-1 record and won a super bowl but after Matt Flynn's performance on Sunday I wander if Rodgers is more of a system quarterback rather than a pure passing phenom.

3. Lesean "Shady" McCoy: The best running back of 2011 and its a crime that he didn't get the football more and the only reason the Eagles didn't go to the playoffs is because of Andy Reid's arrogance in throwing the ball at a 60-40 ratio. When, in fact, McCoy should get 20+ carries a game rather than a measly 10-15. Dare I say he reminds me of Barry Sanders? Yes I do he breaks ankles on a regular basis and has the best lateral quickness I've seen since Barry.

4. Ray Rice: Another fantastic running back that if the Ravens stay true to their formula of run first will make it to the super bowl. Rice is a great runner and dangerous in the open field and Flacco's best receiver. Reminds me a lot of Marshall Faulk only bulkier and more powerful.

5. Megatron... I mean Calvin Johnson: Best receiver hands down in the NFL he and Stafford could be a potent combination in the future. He's physical, fast, and one of the best rout runners in the NFL. Andre Johnson was a close second.

Where's Tom Brady? ehm. Brady is good but was out shined by Brees and Rodgers as both made fewer mistakes. Snub much? I think not

Next blog its playoff time in the NFL I will make my picks for the Wild Card weekend.
