    There's a nice list of talent under the age of 25 in the NFL. Off the top of my head, Matthew Stafford comes to the front and if he continues to progress, it's a no brainer IMO. What's everyone else's thoughts?

    First thought... amazing tits.

    Second thought... Mathew Stafford without a doubt.

    But mostly, nice tits.

    I think a case could be made for JPP if he continues his "domination" or even Gronkowski if he continues his 2011 production. But right now, I'd have to give it to Stafford.

    afjay Click. Clack.

    I want to be a homer and say Aldon Smith, but I'd have to go with Stafford.

    I didn't even realize Stafford was in the picture. I didn't realize there was anything else in the picture, actually.

    I like your list... Only one thing stands out. Cam Newton? Gotta disagree with that one. Other than that I like it. :beer:

    Should be Stafford instead of Newton.

    Forgot about Von Miller until I saw the list. He's my under 25 guy. A little homer in me says Patrick Peterson.

    You put together a pretty good team of under 25's, [MENTION=3223]whatadai[/MENTION].

    Dennis Allen under 25? Don't think so.

    Planning on surgery after this season for that high ankle sprain. Why didn't they do it this past off-season? [MENTION=2701]Puggs[/MENTION]...what's the deal up there 'cuz I'd say Stafford too if he could stay on the field.

    It was close for me, but I chose Newton due to a couple of things...
    1. While Steve Smith is a GREAT WR, Megatron is much better. His ability to pull balls down in traffic in double coverage makes Stafford better than he looks. I'm not saying Stafford sucks, I'm saying Megatron makes any QB better.
    2. Stafford is nearing his ceiling while Cam isn't even close. We've seen Cam as a runner and he's at the top of his position in that category. We've also seen him as a passer, and for a guy with no off-season in his rookie year, he did pretty damn well IMO. I know there's a chance he doesn't reach his potential in the passing game, but if you're evaluating guys under 25, IMO, their ceiling should be taken into heavy consideration. Now, if Cam can get it all together and still run like that, he'll change the game. (Also why I chose Julio over AJG.)
    3. Plus, Cam gets tackled more and injured less.

    Yeah, it's a Raiders joke. lol. The guy looks so young and he's the youngest HC in the NFL so people make fun of him for it.

    Also, I put Marcell Dareus at DE because he played DE for about half the season last year until being switched over to DT more. If you see him as a DT, I would put him above Geno Atkins since he's more versatile...being able to play in both a 3-4 and 4-3 while switching to DE or DT. The guy's a beast.

    If Dareus is the top DT under 25, then my new nominee for top DE under 25 would be...Jason Pierre-Paul. He lost out to Dareus since Dareus is better at run stopping, and JPP success to me is partly due to the system in NY.

    Trying not to be a homer with this response but c'mon, there is no way that JPP should have lost out to Dareus. JPP is an absolute monster and physical freak, he started only 12 games last year and was dominant against the run. The dude finished with double the tackles that dareus had and he had 16.5 sacks. He has a relentless non stop motor and hes going to be very dominant for years to come.

    Qb wise, I'd say Stafford over Cam. I still don't think Cam is going to live up to the hype.

    Also, JPP is definitely a monster. I'd have to go with him over Dareus at this point.

    Tyron is also an absolute monster, he has to be in the argument. I am looking forward to watching him and JPP do battle for years to come
