The site hasn’t revealed the receivers and quarterbacks, but the print edition of Sports Weekly has and the receivers are Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison, Torry Holt and Hines Ward while the quarterbacks are Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Bert Farv, Donovan McNabb and Drew Brees.

Ten members of the USA Today staff voted five players at each position on a 5-4-3-2-1 scale and sometimes it seems like they weighed longevity over excellence, and I couldn’t figure out how heavily they weighed recency.

Quarterbacks: I’ve got no arguments with the QBs, and it’s important to note that Brady beat Manning by only one point. Ben Roethlisberger and Kurt Warner were the only other quarterbacks to receive votes, and Drew Brees was a very distant fifth which is a bit surprising given his last three years.

Running Backs: LT at the top is a no brainer, and there’s a long way to Shaun Alexander in second. But when healthy, was Priest Holmes really only the fifth best back of the decade? Had he not had the neck and hip injuries, the argument can be made that he’s second. Interesting to note that Lorenzo Neal received a vote.

Wide Receivers: Only seven receivers got a vote here with Larry Fitzgerald and Derrick Mason in the others category. Where the heck is Reggie Wayne? Hines Ward was fifth with only seven points, and the argument can be made that Wayne and Fitzgerald deserve to be above Ward.

Tight End: Like LT, Tony Gonzalez got all the first place votes and Antonio Gates swept second place. Jason Witten got eight of the 10 third place votes. But why did Alge Crumpler get more points (6) than Dallas Clark (3)?

Tackle: Jonathan Ogden and Walter Jones are the top two, with Orlando Pace third. Willie Roaf was a distant fifth. Given how dominant Roaf was in the early half of the decade, he should be higher.

Guard-Center: Alan Faneca wins yet another career achievement award and Steve Hutchinson is second. I’d put Will Shields first, but I’m biased towards Chiefs players. Kevin Mawae probably deserves to be higher than fourth as well, but the combo category hurts.

Defensive End: Jason Taylor and Michael Strahan are the leaders while Jared Allen gets only two points. However, with Freeney, Peppers, Abraham and Seymour ahead of him, there’s really no room.

Defensive Tackle: Was La’Roi Glover really the third best defensive tackle of the decade?

Outside Linebacker: I’m surprised Joey Porter hasn’t already complained that he lost out to Derrick Brooks. However, Brooks only beat him by four points, a total that’s probably suppressed by his low sack total.

Inside Linebacker: God’s Linebacker swept this category, with Urlacher second. Remember Al Wilson? He was fifth.

Cornerback: Champ Bailey got all but one first place vote while Ronde Barber’s career longevity probably is the reason why he beat out Ty Law for second. Surprisingly, Darrelle Revis didn’t get a single vote.

Safety: Troy Polamalu is third to Ed Reed and Brian Dawkins. Can’t really argue with this one.

Kick Returner: I’d still take the 2002-2004 version of Dante Hall over Devin Hester, but I already told you that I was biased. Remember Az Hakim? He got a vote.

Kicker: Not surprisingly, Vinatieri wins. The always consistent Matt Stover is a deserving second, and I’m surprised that Jason Hanson didn’t crack the top five.

Punter: Lechler sweeps.

Coach: Many Philly fans will disagree with Andy Reid tying Bill Cowher for third.
