oochymp 2,393 Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) per Razor: This project is a massive undertaking, and a good way to kill time in the off season. The structure of this tournament is simple, we take the best 16 players in each division, and pair them up in a single elimination tournament until only one remains. However, before we even get to that stage, we must run a qualifying round. That is where you come in. If you have the time, open up topics in each division forum that doesn't already have them, and put up topics titled '2011 Best Player in the NFL: Qualifying Round' with the division in the topic description. From there, ask the users to give you their top 6 players for each team in the division. For the full thread, see here: http://www.thegridir...yer-in-the-nfl/ To help you out a bit, I'll post who I think are the top ten for each team (I'll be back with my top 6 later, these are in no particular order) Peyton Manning Dwight Freeney Reggie Wayne Robert Mathis Dallas Clark Jeff Saturday Pierre Garcon Pat Angerer Joseph Addai Melvin Bullit Maurice Jones-Drew Marcedes Lewis Aaron Kampman Greg Jones Derek Cox Daryl Smith Mike Thomas David Garrard Tyson Alualu Vince Manuwai Andre Johnson Matt Schaub Mario Williams Arian Foster Owen Daniels DeMeco Ryans Eric Winston Bernard Pollard Jacoby Jones Duane Brown Chris Johnson Cortland Finnegan Michael Roos Kenny Britt Michael Griffin Marc Mariani Jason Jones Dave Ball Alterraun Verner Jason Babin Just to clarify, your votes are not limited to my top ten, I was just trying to give you some names for anyone completely unfamiliar with the teams, if there's somebody I forgot (or left off) please don't hesitate to put them in your top six (also, make sure you rank your top six as explained in the original thread) Edited April 2, 2011 by oochymp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RazorStar 4,025 Posted April 5, 2011 There have been no changes since my last tallying post, so those 26 players will move onto the seeding/elimination round. These topics should be up sometime today or tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
