Best Elite NFL Reporter

In my opinion there are the elite NFL reporters in the NFL right now. Who do you think is the best and why. I picked these journalists for their overall ability and accuracy in breaking NFL news.

Candidates

Adam Scheftler ESPN Recently joined ESPN after being ousted at NFL Network. Constantly breaks signings and player workouts
Chris Mortenson ESPN Had a down year last year. I personally don't like him. Reported a bunch of BS last year, but it is hard to ignore him. He did a solid job reporting the UFL draft.
Mike Florio Pro Football Talk Criticized constantly. Made famous by the Michael Vick saga. Breaks news daily, but is not always active.
Aaron Wilson Carroll County Times and National Football Post Worked for PFT, but when PFT switched to NBC he got a job with the NFP. Has done a much better job since then.
Brad Biggs Chicago Sun-Times and National Football Post Pretty much does the same thing as Wilson
Jason La Canfora NFL.com No-namer until he joined NFLN. Now he has a blog full of content that he updates sometimes.
Michael Lombardi National Football Post Pretty much created NFP. Used to do a lot more reporting before Biggs and Wilson. Kinda like Florio without the cheesy jokes

 

No Jay Glazer?

 

Even though I hate ESPN my vote goes to Scheftler. I think scheftler is the only person at ESPN who can consistantly break NFL news. ESPN was becoming a joke before scheftler came.


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

He hasent broken much news as of late, but i think he broke the Matthew Stafford 1st overall pick, and he was in the Favre saga last year....

 

Schefter. Glazer should be in the mix...

 

Lombardi just cuz he is funny looking lol

 

Elite? Elite And NFL Reporter don't belong in the same sentence.

 

Scheftler

 

I think Adam Schefter is the best one out there right now. He seems to have great sources to break news quickly and is pretty accurate.

 

Schefter breaks the best news stories but his game break downs leave alot to be desired. La Canfora is a joke.

 

Adam kicks all their asses. I do like Aaron as he is a Raven Insider and have followed him since his start here. I believe Aaron covered the Jags or the Panthers before the Ravens.

 

Glazer for big news, Schefter for day to day news.

Hmmm...

Aaron Wilson - He gets a vote for quantity. He's been pumping out stories over at NFP. Problem is that he doesn't break many big stories.

Adam Schefter - He was my favorite until he went to the Dark Side (aka ESPN). Now I have to endure the rest of the talking heads to get to his news.

Brad Biggs - He's Aaron Wilson with less quantity.

Chris Mortensen - The man lost it years ago. He now "breaks" stories and then ends up botching them in an effort to break stories. Time for him to move over for Schefter to be the #1 guy on ESPN.

Jason LaCanfora - Meh....NFL Network could have done so much better. He leaves a lot to be desired IMO. Hell....Steve Wyche is better than him I think.

Jay Glazer - The man is a scoop machine for major stories. How pissed must have ESPN been when they were pretty much covering Favre 24/7 only to have Glazer break the story that Favre was indeed returning? The man is connected with players all over.

Mike Florio - I am a Florio fan. He was at his best with the whole Michael Vick saga. He is the guy to go to whenever any legal issues are going on.

Michael Lombardi - I could live without him. I'd put Washington Post's Mark Maske over him.

I am surprised that Glazer and Peter King were not included in the list. If I had to choose one I'd go with Schefter but right now being on ESPN is flat out painful. Problem is NFL Network's morning NFL show is growing to be just as painful with Warren Sapp, Marshall Faulk and Michael Irvin.

 

I think Peter King is a butcher

 

Adam Schefter

 

Peter King would not be on my list. Glazer has not done much work recently, but I swould prob put him over La Canfora if I did it again....

 

You sure about that? Tell me who has broken more big stories lately.

Jay Glazer: The NFL straight scoopage - NFL News - FOX Sports on MSN

 

Why aren't the GIF reporters on the list?

They post news as it happens live during games.
