Top 100 list shows gap between Packers and Vikings — unless Aaron Rodgers is traded

Lists of top players are notably subjective to the whims and appraisals of the list-maker, but one thing is true across sports: Talent is king.

You can coach and scheme and grind, but when it matters most, games more often than not are decided by the team with the most talented players making the most plays.

As such, you can look at a ranking of the Top 100 players in the NFL, as determined by CBS Sports' Pete Prisco, and quibble with some of the slotting and notable omissions.

But if you're a Vikings fan or a Packers fan, you also have to look at it and reach this conclusion: There exists a notable talent gap between Green Bay and Minnesota, which isn't surprising given the Packers finished 13-3 and the Vikings went 7-9 a season ago.
