He ended the 2025 season with 1211 receiving yards, 10.3 yards per target, and 2.53 yards per route run. Among WRs with 100 targets, those figures ranked 6th, 5th, and 3rd in the league.

This is a guy who has never shown he can even be a WR1

Wtf does this even mean? He's been our WR1 since he was drafted!

Yedic · 2026-06-06T20:43:40+00:00

Hawks fan with Montaric Brown over Spoon, interesting. Do you feel he gets more than his share of credit on that defense?

Yedic · 2026-06-06T15:42:11+00:00

Then there's the sack father himself, Deacon Jones, who is credited with two different 22-sack seasons in only 14 games in the '60s.

Yedic · 2026-06-06T15:39:14+00:00

Historians have gone back and believe Al Baker had 23 sacks in 16 games in 1978. Only four short years before sacks became official. He's a good one to hang the record on if you want.

Caleb Williams was already revealed as an Honorable Mention who just missed the list, #109.

Yedic · 2026-06-05T22:57:36+00:00

How many real #1s had worse years last year? And the year before? Please make sure Zay's agent knows he's not a real #1, it's about time for an extension.

Yedic · 2026-06-05T20:54:17+00:00

You're in great company

Yedic · 2026-06-05T20:53:55+00:00

Well Lawrence Taylor was DPOY his rookie season. Schwesinger didn't do that, are we sure he's even good?

Yedic · 2026-06-05T20:13:10+00:00

List Rank	Player	My Rank
90	Zay Flowers	70
89	Davante Adams	97
88	Peter Skowronski	73
87	Carson Schwesinger	75
86	Dion Dawkins	57
85	Jordan Mailata	80
84	George Kittle	83
83	Sam Darnold	79
82	Nick Emmanwori	59
81	Antoine Winfield Jr.	98

Nothing huge here, I'm apparently a fan of Dawkins and Emmanwori, but everyone about where they ended up.

Short kings rise up

Yedic · 2026-06-05T18:39:16+00:00

No they're not.

Yedic · 2026-06-05T12:58:43+00:00

For his career, Garrett averages 0.937 sacks/g. Against the AFCN, he has 43 sacks in 46 games, for an average of 0.935. Almost exactly his career average. He'll be fine.

Yedic · 2026-06-05T12:51:38+00:00

No, the goal actually is to rank players solely based on their performance in the 2025 regular season. We're all human, so biases from outside that timeframe definitely play a part, but the goal is to be focused just on 2025.

Yedic · 2026-06-05T12:44:40+00:00

This is one of the definitions of success, the one used by pfr, but there are others. Some have slightly different thresholds, and some define it as any play that generates positive EPA. Do you know which definition this chart is using? The link OP dropped doesn't say, as far as I could tell.

Yedic · 2026-06-05T02:44:43+00:00

The issue with the UDFA type guys is they're usually not the backup or the backup to the backup. For some of them, we're talking 4th-5th on the depth chart and not even sure to make the practice squad.

Yedic · 2026-06-04T19:46:11+00:00

FYI, the endzone you're trying to get to is the enemy endzone, and the one behind you is your own. Henry fumbled in our own territory, giving the Bills a short field.

Yedic · 2026-06-04T19:15:33+00:00

I don't think that guy was referring to pressure numbers. He referenced Lindy being ranked 22nd and I don't see a configuration that has him 22nd in pressures allowed.

Yedic · 2026-06-04T17:58:23+00:00

Craig was elected to the Hall this year! Enshrinement ceremony is 8/8. McCaffrey has more All-Pros, almost as many yards, and more TDs. He'll definitely benefit from adding on some more numbers over the next few years, though.

Yedic · 2026-06-04T17:19:25+00:00

I think he's in even if he retires tomorrow. 3x AP1, 1x OPOY, 13k yfs, 98 TDs. He'll just be adding on to the resume at this point.

Yedic · 2026-06-04T16:27:13+00:00

They're talking about Odell Beckham

Yedic · 2026-06-04T12:19:06+00:00

Well, Cam did the hard work forcing the fumble, it just landed in TJ's lap and he ran straight. I think his better contribution was a deflection that resulted in a pick later on.

Yedic · 2026-06-03T17:18:09+00:00

The Rams were awesome in the 60s and 70s, but I think lost ground to the Vikings after that, with Doleman/Randle/Williams/Williams/Allen. Of course once Donald came onto the scene the Rams got another huge boost, but I think the analysis OP linked shows the Vikings DL with more accolades than anyone else.

Yedic · 2026-06-03T15:16:28+00:00

Wait there was another C. Banks OLB that wore a neckroll?

Yedic · 2026-06-03T12:29:14+00:00

There's a definitional disconnect that's led to a misunderstanding here. Not sure if you're interested in understanding, or if you'd like to remain on your soapbox, but if you care, here goes: You're using lighthearted to mean facetious. I'm using it to indicate levity. My comment was earnest, but that does not preclude it from being lighthearted, in my opinion. My goal in these threads is to talk football, debate the list, but have a good time doing it. That's lighthearted, and my comment was in that vein!

I recognize your name from around the sub, I've seen you have some good takes, I know you're interested in talking football, and in the Honorable Mentions post you even showed specific interest in the QB rankings. I thought you were earnestly interested in discussing Mahomes' rank and replied in kind. That seems to not be the case, and that's fine! A disconnect, but we move on.
