Top 100 lists (listings?How is a listing different from a ranking?) are all the rage in the too-long NFL offseason http://www.neworleanssaintsteamonline.com/tyeler-davison-jersey , and the latest one to drop comes from CBS Sports senior writer Pete Prisco.Prisco makes his list with one eye reflecting back on the 2017 results, and the other gazing forward to predict future success.Or something like that.Either way, he likes the team the Saints have built.Five of their players make the top 100 list, with none placing lower than 45th overall.It’s noteworthy that three of the five Saints were added since 2016, and two of those are just entering their second seasons.Let’s get into it:It feels like it shouldn’t surprise that Jordan has leapt past Brees, but here we are.Jordan is a still-young All-Pro (turning 29-years old next month) who should’ve gotten more Defensive Player of the Year votes for his efforts.The Saints are so fortunate to have him spearheading a resurgent defense and mentoring Marcus Davenport.The gap between Aaron Rodgers (#1) Authentic Patrick Robinson Jersey , Tom Brady (#2), and Brees (#20) isn’t as broad as Prisco exaggerates.That’ll become more clear if the Chicago Bears and New York Jets of the world begin to grow backbones.Brady’s Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles was a nightmare, seeing him stuck on the sideline watching his defense allow two-thirds of third and fourth downs to be converted and ceding 500-plus yards.Try living that life for three years, Tom.Lattimore really might be the best cornerback in the NFL this season.He’s at least in the conversation with Marcus Peters and Jalen Ramsey.It’ll be incredibly fun to watch him continue to grow and compete.Don’t look now but the Saints have an elite, top-five type of wide receiver for the first time in decades.I’ve got all the love and appreciation in the world for Marques Colston, but Thomas is already making real headway into setting new franchise receiving records.Remember when people questioned this pick because the Saints already had Adrian Peterson and Travaris Cadet on the roster?Last year http://www.neworleanssaintsteamonline.com/thomas-morstead-jersey , Prisco had just two Saints (Drew Brees and Cameron Jordan) in his top 100 list, though left tackle Terron Armstead warranted an honorable mention.Maybe next year the Saints will rival the Jacksonville Jaguars (eight) and Los Angeles Rams (seven) for the most players on Prisco’s list.Week 1 FanPulse Survey Results: Bucs fans are confident Welcome to SB Nation FanPulse, a survey of fans across the NFL powered by SurveyMonkey. Each week, we send 32 polls to 100+ plugged in fans from each team. Bucs fans, sign up HERE to join FanPulse.Will the Bucs win or lose in Week 1?Bucs fans think they will beat the Saints by 2This is actually a bit surprising. Considering the fact that New Orleans is favored by nearly 10 points, it’s nice to see that fans feel the Buccaneers may sneak out of the Superdome with a win.How confident are you in the direction of the team?Very confident: 22 percentSomewhat confident: 65 percentMeh: 8 percentNot very confident: 5 percentNot confident at all: 0 percentThis poll is interesting. If you look at the comments to nearly every article this week where we here at Bucs Nation made predictions (with more to come Friday) Womens Ryan Ramczyk Jersey , many fans were not interested at all in the positive outlook by our staff. However, as you can see, the majority feel somewhat confident in the team as we head into the season. That, folks, means you all are feeling good about your Buccaneers despite last season’s struggles.What is the worst NFL rule?The helmet rule is by far the worst rule in the NFL. This is the common feel across the fans league-wide as well as the large majority of the players. It is very inconsistent and it is based on a referee's judgment. I just don’t see them making fixes to it anytime soon. So this may be around for some time while it potentially impacts the outcome of games.
