Now you're just some QB that I used to know

The final spot came down to him, Moss, and Watt and I feel like the right choice was made. If this happens again next year, players will be switched out.

:confused: But Gronk is better than all of the TE's you have listed and one of the best football players to ever exist

Well, potentially. Yes I will keep saying this until it's no longer true.

I'd actually think Shannon Sharpe has an argument to be there (and I would vote against him at every opportunity).

e: On that note as much as I hate to say this Bo probably doesn't belong.

Find someone who values you like Rick Spielman values 7th round picks.

Edit: That was foolish. It's really Reggie White / LT / JJ / Alan Page for 1a 1b 1c 1d though.

At the end of the day, what really matters is Tony Boselli should be the first voted out.

On the other hand there's a list of best linebackers of the super bowl era that doesn't include Ray Lewis. And on a lesser note but still true a list of secondary players that doesn't have Darrell Green.

I mean hell if it's an offseason thread it's made for arguing about these things.

e: poo poo I'm blind, Ray's up there.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

Roll Tide
Tom Brady cuz come on dude
Jerry Rice, because he's like two megatron careers put together
Charles Woodson because how many defensive players lasted as long as Peyton and were consistently better?
Edit: also yeah you need Ray Guy and Vinaeteri

How do you compare a running back to a defensive end?

Damn it, this always happens. I think I'm gonna score, and then I never score. It's not fair.



Wedge Regret
Some comments/suggestions:

- Toss out Lynn Swann, he's stupid and overrated. Add Ray Guy. Punters are good and cool and rule. If you insist on another WR, Cris Carter or Lance Alworth.

- As cool as Bo Jackson was, there's a couple of HoF-caliber backs who should probably be on the list instead of him (LaDainian Tomlinson probably being first among them, I'm a sucker for Curtis Martin even though I know he'd be probably the first RB out).

- Ozzie Newsome is cool and all but I don't think anyone is going to consider him even the greatest tight end of his own era (The non-public masturbating Kellen Winslow, who is more deserving of this topic). Just to balance out the punter I suggested before, I'd say add a kicker like Morten Andersen or Vinatieri.

- Get rid of Tom Brady and put in some honest QB's, like Sexy Rexy or Super Bowl Champion Jared Lorenzen.
