No way that Edwards should be that high. Would not be in my top 10. Definitely good player, but Edwards over Perry, Bell, Jones; he is not even close to their level.

This is click bait. Congrats on it working. Got my TL talking for a bit. I am not unemployed or 22 years old anymore so I have had a hard time caring very hard.

Yup total click bait.

You seem to think clickbait is a derogative, I would assume everything posted is meant for someone to read.

I generally save the term "clickbait" for titles that are obviously used to rile people up (emotionally, whatever) to bait them into reading, while at the same time having very little to do with the main content.

Keeping the fanbase engaged during the offseason is good and this did that. I was really surprised at how many former players got their feelings hurt on Twitter after seeing their list.

"clickbait" was originally the name for the titles to get you to click -- the clicks were the main metric that drove ad rates. Now, views, and listens are the metric, so the clickbait moniker has evolved. But I can be convinced that the name is incorrect and that this is better described as a classic Talk Radio bit. It's also a classic summertime ESPN thing.

When I was 17 or so I watched all of VH1s 100 Best ___ during the summer. It's the same stuff. I learned a little bit about some bands and people but also it was largely just a way to get ratings filler for the summertime.

I think it is fine as a piece of entertainment but I lean generally toward the view that this kind of stuff is junk food and I need to stay away from it.
