The Best Athlete in the World

Silva is great, but he has a glaring weakness. Wrestling. I can't say that GSP has a weakness.

 

Who has exposed this?

 

So we've had several NFL nominees. Calvin Johnson, Adrian Peterson. Am I missing anybody?

 

Chael Sonnen

 

Demarcus Ware, Ndamakong Suh, Justin Tuck are some that should get some recognition.

 

Who do you think is the best of the bunch? What about JP?

 

Didn't Silva choke that guy out?

 

Irrelevant. You asked who exposed Silva's wrestling. Sonnen took him down at will, and kept him there.

 

I'm interested in if/how you differentiate between "wrestling" and "grappling". One can hardly accuse Silva of having a grappling weakness.

FWIW, I'm inclined to take GSP as well as Silva.

 

Peppers actually played two sports in college, so does it go to him? I don't know.

 

I was actually thinking of Puerre-Paul, but Peppers is a good one too.

I say we go with one LB/DE/DT, otherwise the votes will get split and they won't have much of a chance.

 

Devin Hester?

 

I'd also suggest Reggie Bush be considered. He hasn't had great success at the pro level, but he can do some things few others can/could.

 

The Giants DL is scary, I had forgotten about Pierre-Paul but he's a freak too.

 

His start and stop against Oregon State was amazing

 

He should go on one of those obstacle course TV shows and just demolish whatever records they have.

 

Can he still?

 

I think this might be workable.

 

And I'm not patronizing. I don't think I saw that guy play a single down last year.

 

I haven't see him play a down for the Phins either. However, he isn't that much older and hasn't had any significant injuries that I've heard about.
