Owen Daniels - Top tight end in AFC ?

as soon as i voted it was even but reading how u stated this if your put this poll and the whole fan post on the colts site you wouldn’t be banned and i actually think it would be interesting for you to put it on all the sites of the people we are comparing and see what the results are. that way you get a broader idea of what people think

Come the end of the season, who will be the number one TE? I imagine that not all of them will make the probowl, although I would imagine that they all could make the Playoffs.

Of course, I picked Daniels, but I’d be the first to admit that I have Battle Red tinted glasses.

the poll was tied at 10 b/t Clark and OD. I wonder if that is people voting honestly or if its been colts fans voting for Clark.

voice a legitimate argument for their tight end. Clark and Daniels are top two for my money.

I think its a real toss up between OD and Clark. Both are like WRs playing the TE position. Gates and Miller arent far behind, but I’d like to see how Miller pans out the rest of the year if that Steeler offense stays pass happy or not.

It really is a toss-up between Clark and OD. These numbers are only half the argument as the TE’s blocking should also be considered.

I think the Falcons’ Tony Gonzalez is the best in the NFL, but then it’s neck and neck between Clark and OD. After that, I would consider 49er TE Vernon Davis because that boy is having a tremendous season.

This is a better argument then Wayne vs AJ. I voted for OD, but right now they are pretty even for the season, clark more ypg but od 2 more tds right now. It’ll be interesting to see how the rest of the season pans out.

Miller fits what the Steelers do best – blocks, makes tough yards and catches the ball, wins games. OD and Clark are the same and fit perfectly in the systems they are in – coin flip as to who is best.

But Gates, he gets my vote. IMO to be the best you have to redefine the position and he does that. He makes DBs look like kids when they are covering him and he is too fast and too good a route runner for LBs.

If you don’t game plan for him, he will burn you to the ground. Too bad he’s stuck in SD with the rest of the overrated Bolts.

1. As already stated by everyone above with a brain, you are NOT going to get unbiased results by polling teams whose tight end is in the polling.
(Ex.: "So-And-So is obviously the best TE in football because he plays for my team and since I am a winner and I only back winners, then by the Transitive Property So-And-So is a winner and is therefore the winner of this poll.")

2. You are not going to get unbiased opinions from teams who are in the same division as any of the candidates in this poll.
(Ex. 1: "I hate So-And-So’s guts because he plays for our division rivals and always makes our defense look like a pack of drunken hillbillies stumbling around in the dark looking for their lost coon-hound ‘Cletus’, therefore, I would sooner set my ass-hair on fire than vote for him.
Ex. 2: "So-And-So, our division rivals TE, regularly beats on us like orphans at a Catholic monastery, and since I know we’re awesome then the only logical explanation is that he is the best fucking TE to ever walk in cleats. He gets my face-saving vote.")

3. You are not going to get an unbiased opinion from inter-division rivals either, such as between the Colts and the Pats or the Steelers and the Pats, for much the same reasons as stated in point #2.
(Ex.: Pats Fan: "Gawd, I hate those douchebag Colts and Stealers! They’s always a takin’ what is rightfully owas’ as the best fans in the facking universe! I would rather stick my cawk in a gawdamn wood-chippa’ than vote for they’ra guy!")

4. You’re not going to get an informed opinion from any NFC fans do to lack of familiarity with the candidates.
(Ex.: NFC Fan #1: "Hey, who do you think the best TE in the AFC is, buddy?"
         NFC Fan #2: "What the hell is the AFC?")

Conclusion: Poll the remaining AFC East teams (Bills, Jets, Dolphins). They have little-to-no dog in this fight and would be the closest thing you’re going to get to an unbiased and informed opinion. Hell, we’ll even give you the Pats. Go ahead and ask ‘em.
To make it truly fair, though, you need to change that Coltsbanishment crap in the body.
Unless, that is, you’re afraid of a fair fight?

This is one of topics that is more or less a toss up in my opinion. I vote OD for the sole reason that if a guy on my team is close enough to be in the same conversation then I’m just going to pick him. You can make a case for any of them and not be wrong.

Pillow fight.

But FO currently has OD as the number one tight end in the NFL.

Obviously the ONLY way to know which one is better is to what kind of car they drive. I bet you don’t find THAT little tidbit on your ALLEGED “stats” page.

is OD a UFA or RFA?
