I think Pete’s just trying to be provocative, but since he diminishes #16 as merely a special-teamer and, oblivious to the irony, deems Phil Dawson the new Browns’ MVP, I’ll go on the record here with my list of the most valuable players to wear the brown and orange since 1999. The criteria are inherently subjective, so I’ll just keep this humble list short and sweet:
1. Joshua Cribbs
2. Joe Thomas
3. Orpheus Roye
4. Daylon McCutcheon
5. Phil Dawson
6. Dennis Northcutt
7. Jamir Miller
8. Andra Davis.
With no offense to some decent contributors, I can’t think of anyone else that deserves to be a serious contender.
