Pepsi and CBS snub MARQUES COLSTON.
Anyone know why Pepsi,CBS and the NFL have decided to snub Saint's WR MARQUES COLSTON? He is not even good enough to make the ballet?

Colston had a good season but he tailed off towards the end of the season.
Rec Yds Y/G Avg Lng YAC 1stD TD Games 1-8 44 700 87.5 15.9 86 6.2 32 7 Games 9-16 26 338 56.3 13.0 29 4.0 19 1 He did miss three games. Not sure it was that much of a slight compared to the names on that list.

Pepsi tastes like piss. Diet Pepsi IS piss.
That said, I think those six players were all very even in must respects, and it would have been a slight to leave any of them off. If I were making the list, as much as I love him, I would have left Jones-Drew as the odd man out, simply because while he was very impressive, his numbers were just a shade below everyone else.

I would have agreed with you initially, but if you look closer his numbers are far, far more impressive than Addai's. He scored a shitload of touchdowns and had a phenomenal YPC.

It probably came down to Bush or Colston. You put them on the ballot and the fans are going to cancel them out by being from the same team.

I don't see the far far more impressive part, they both had the same number of touchdowns and Addai has more all purpose yards. |

Are you saying Addai had more TDs than Jones-Drew, or am I mis-reading this? I believe Jones-Drew had something like 13 TDs compared to Addai's 8. |

Demeco Ryan's absence is the one that makes the list a joke. After all, the guy did win defensive rookie of the year.

I really hope Bush doesn't get it, but he probably will with all the hype.

Bah, didn't read the whole post and thought he was comparing Addai to Colston.

DeMeco Ryans should absolutely be on the list, ahead of Hester certainly. But this list certainly smells of somebody in marketing who is not a hardcore football fan and just put down the names that they see on SportsCenter. I think Colston received the least amount of publicity of anyone on this list, and Ryans didn't receive the publicity he deserved because all he did was tackle people -- he didn't intercept passes for TDs or engage in head-hunting practices that result in those "hard hits" the highlight shows love (yes, that's a reference to Shawne Merriman's 'roid-rage-filled rookie season last year, when I don't think he was necessarily the best rookie defensive player, but he got the most attention because he mad about a dozen really hard hits). I'm also not a huge fan of APY that include kickoff return yardage. It's certainly a skill, but but it's an easy 20 yards on every return. It's a nice stat pad. Jones-Drew was third in the NFL in all-purpose yardage just ahead of Larry Johnson, but I wouldn't put Jones-Drew on the All-Pro team ahead of LJ just yet. Dante Hall was 13th in the NFL in APY, which I think let's you know all you need to know about APY as a measuring stick for greatness. |
