From this article on ESPN by Mark Schlereth.

--------------------------------

1. Tom Brady, QB, Patriots
Cool under pressure is the best way to describe the new Joe Montana, who has won three Super Bowls in his young career. (Joe Robbins/US PRESSWIRE)

2. Adam Vinatieri, K, Colts
Brady probably wouldn't be as highly regarded if Vinatieri wasn't kicking the field goals at the end of games for New England. (Byron Hetzler/US PRESSWIRE)

3. Champ Bailey, CB, Broncos
Last season he picked off Tom Brady in the end zone in the playoffs and this season he has several interceptions inside the 5-yard line. That's a guy who steps up when it counts. (Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)

4. LaDainian Tomlinson, RB, Chargers
This guy can do everything on a football field. He finds a way to get the ball in the end zone at all times whether it's by running, catching or passing. (Mark J. Rebilas/US PRESSWIRE)

5. Peyton Manning, QB, Colts
Simply a stud and this year he's done a great job of limiting his mistakes and taking what the defense gives him. He's been at his best late in a number of games this season. (Elsa/Getty Images)

6. Julius Peppers, DE, Panthers
Here's a guy who'll get to the quarterback if you need a sack. He's going to be in the opposing team's backfield all game. (Streeter Lecka/Getty Images )

7. Ed Reed, S, Ravens
Just a smart ballplayer who knows how and when to make the big play. (Greg Fiume/Getty Images)

8. Devin Hester, PR, Bears
This guy is a demon on special teams and is making big plays for his squad. (Jim O'Connor/US PRESSWIRE )

9. Larry Johnson, RB, Chiefs
He's big, strong and tenacious. This guy will get that yard on a third-and-1 every time. (John Rieger/US PRESSWIRE)

10. Steve Smith, WR, Panthers
By the end of the season he may move into the top five because he's a game changer who finds ways to get the ball. (Allen Kee/WireImage.com )

I'm glad Stench weighed Devin Hester's incredible track record of clutch performances instead of rewarding some flash in the pan like Derrick Brooks or Torry Holt.

Torry has been doing it for so long, nobody pays attention to him anymore. What about Hines Ward? I noticed Jeremy Stevens wasn't on the list.

would it kill someone at espn to provide some backing or even the slightest bit of analysis?

article is insane on 10 counts.

Manning, unless it's play-off pressure.
