    I didn't see Lambert/Ham/Holmes play so it would be hard for me to rank it. Ranking only the guys I got to see play would be the following.

    Farrior
    Shazier
    Timmons
    Kirkland

    Shazier had a real shot at being better than Farrior without the injury. That is the only thing keeping him behind him at this point, but when Shazier was at his best... I think he was a more explosive and elite player than Farrior was. Simply a game wrecker/game changer. Farrior was rock solid and good at everything. He is one of those guys who was always very good, but never really elite and rarely took games over (outside of a Raiders game I seem to recall).

    Don't forget Farrior was almost DPOY with us, and I believe Ed Reed barely inched him out that year.

    Yeah, I don't want to diminish his abilities.... I am just saying that he never was a sustained, ultra-high end player. Shazier had as many PB appearances in 4 years as Farrior did in 15. Shazier had that kind of ability. Farrior was a really good player, but just didn't have the ceiling Shazier had.
