When NFL Network rated the top 100 players of all-time - they had a stupid rating system where they ask that players be rated from 1 to 10.

A guy like Jerry Rice who is as solid as it gets at a position that attracts douchebaggery is going to get 10's all over. That's how he ended up #1 overall over Jim Brown and all those great QB's. He's a friggen reciever - you have to draw up ways and sceme to get him the ball.

A guy like Randy Moss is going to get 1's and 2's from a few people who simply don't like him. Peter King even said "he should have been and even could have been a lot higher - but anyone who says they don't work for their check - that guy isn't for me" That's how Moss ends up at #65.

OJ Simpson ran for over 2,000 yards in a 14 game season on a team that was supposedly one dimensional. I bet a few people shaved a point or two off of his score because he murdered a couple of people. He should have been higher on a more rational system.

Even Deoin has a point. A few people who didn't like his antics and couldn't stand him probably shaved a point or two off.
