As per Peter King
Top 500 list (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/peter_king/08/28/1to100/)
Eagles on the list
Quote50. Shawn Andrews G, Eagles Best run-blocking year of any guard in '06
55. Brian Dawkins FS, Eagles Would be higher if he were younger than 33
72. Donovan McNabb QB, Eagles Vital season; must prove he's not too brittle
96. Brian Westbrook RB, Eagles Stellar six yards per touch in '06
172. Lito Sheppard CB, Eagles Would be much higher if he stayed healthy
174. L.J. Smith TE, Eagles Staple of Philly's passing game
217. Sheldon Brown CB, Eagles All-Pro caliber in '05, mediocre in '06
241. Trent Cole DE, Eagles Whoda thunk he'd be better than Kearse?
268. Jamaal Jackson C, Eagles Most athletic snapper in NFC
275. Reggie Brown WR, Eagles 17.7 yards per catch, eight TDs in '06
314. Jon Runyan T, Eagles
377. Jevon Kearse DE, Eagles
402. Kevin Curtis WR, Eagles
417. Juqua Thomas DE, Eagles
472. Mike Patterson DT, Eagles
476. Kevin Kolb QB, Eagles
Westbrook should be MUCH higher on that list. Should be highest ranked eagle.
agreed on Westbrook, behind Jackson, he's the best back in the NFC
but in general, how do you make a list ranking 500 nfl players and include rookies? they haven't even played yet.
peter king is an idiot.
oh yeah...i forgot
Peter King at it again... what a weirdo.
There are 49 players in the NFL better than anyone and everyone on the Eagles. Nice.
cry because none of your favorite players are in peter kings top 49
I imagine Peter King going on a crazy coffee binge before sitting down with his laptop and writing up this kind of shtein in 20 minutes. Then he wakes up the next morning with his enormous head pounding from withdrawal, feels momentary shame at having sent out this half-assed garbage during his caffeine haze, then it's back to the coffee machine...

I don't give a farg about Peter King, his stupid field hockey playing slut daughters, or his career.
But I agree. With apologies to Dawkins, Westbrook is the Eagles' man.

Wait, Jason Campbell's not up there?!? TRAVESTY
Barksdale wuz robbed...
Andrews at 50 is the first player from NFC East :-D :-D :-D
How the hell does Kevin Kolb make the list when he hasn't even had an official snap yet? Better yet, how is he listed ahead of the likes of DeShaun Foster, Joe Horn and Amani Toomer?

i dont know why when i see peter king on TV he doesnt look or sound that stupid but whenever i read any of his work or any of his predictions, or in this case this list, i just come away going wow what a dumb analyst.
actually i think that about most analysts.

Toomer holds like every meaningful recieving record for the Giants.

Which is kind of why I was wondering how Kolb is listed higher than him.
a lot of stupid, as expected.
