The Top 100 Greatest NFL Players.

[Senser81]

While I personally wouldn't put Brady above Elway and Marino, I don't have THAT much of a problem with it. It appears that Ken Houston and Leo Nomellini won't even make the list at all, which is outrageous.

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

but how exactly did he "change the game"?

Apparently every TE , and every HB thats ever caught a pass has to be slapped with the "changed the game" title.

90% of them didnt change a thing.

Best argument is "his career is still going" so anything can happen , which is about the worst argument you can make about anything.

Ray Lewis over Butkus or LT would be a joke.. But this whole list is shaping up pretty shittily anyway. Who is in charge of putting this thing together?

Up until Brady I thought the list was shaping out ok.
Strahan and Reed are overrated but not by much.

Theres 2-3 safeties Id put ahead of Reed including the aforementioned Houston.

Unless theres another glaring miscue the top lists for each position seem fairly close to reality. I would have serious issue with Lewis being ahead of LT or Butkus.

I think the list is pretty good, all things considered. It appears that neither Howie Long or Junior Seau will make the list, which surprised me (not that I'd argue for their conclusion).

Coming back to Ken Houston, I would have picked him as the best SS ever. I'd rather have an all-around athlete like Houston (or Ken Easley) than Ronnie Lott. Lott was a great player, but it appears that Lott is going to end up being the highest-ranked DB in NFL history. Really? As a DB, give me Rod Woodson or Deion Sanders any day of the week over Lott.

Yeah its weird. 00-10 players seem to be getting a bump. 85-99 players a nudge down.

Seems like Safety isnt embedded in peoples memories. Alot of guys overlooked imo. Reed and Lott are probably the easiest Safeties to name off the top of your head.

I thought Woodson was a far superior athlete , and CB than Lott ever was. Lotts physical presence at safety along with his reputation seal his deal though.

Elway? No.
Marino? Yes.

Great passer, was Marino. Maybe the greatest ever...but quarterback? I'd take quite a few over Marino. Brady being one of them.

John Elway's Playoff Record as Starting QB: 14-8
Tom Brady's Playoff Record as Starting QB: 14-4

These numbers are close, but Brady's still playing... and already has one more ring.

 

[Houston]

Manning gonna be in the top 10:smug:

As someone else said earlier it only makes sense for Jerry Rice to be #1, pound for pound no other player stands ahead of their position competition like Rice.

But this list kinda sucks so there's a chance he wont be #1.

 

[Derrville]

Whats the updated list? 30-20

 

[Champ]

Peyton Manning number 1.

 

[StealthShot]

Updated List + Video.

 

[JOHNNYTHECLOWN]

Tony Gonzalez at #45 is a joke.

 

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

Peyton, Montana, Deacon, Jim Brown, Rice all should be top 10 IMO... but my opinion doesnt matter lol

 

[Houston]

lol at the Tom Brady one, they didn't do a good job selling him at #21. All they kept on saying was "champion" and "leader", nothing about his throwing or defense reading skills.
Proof he shouldn't be where he's at.

 

[Aso]

It wasn't Brady's fault the Pats lost the Superbowl in '07. When there was 7 and a half minutes left in the game, Brady led his team down the field to take a 14-10 lead late. The defense lost them that game. Brady showed how clutch he was once again.

I also think the Terry Bradshaw to Tom Brady comparison is a silly one.

Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, and Franco Harris ≠ Deion Branch, David Patten, Troy Brown, Antowain Smith/Corey Dillon.

And Brady isn't the only reason they won the superbowls they did. Let's not forget Adam kicked 2 game winning superbowls in the 3 The Patriots won.

There's a huge difference in the skill to lead the team down to a 40 yard FG and the skill to take it all the way in for a score.

Brady was the MVP of the 2 games Vinatieri kicked those fgs in.


Just sayin'

 

[citizenerased]

16/27 for 145 yards and a touchdown in the 2001 Superbowl.

Trent Dilfer-ific. MVP of that game should've been Ty Law (or Matt Walsh :shifty

 

[Derrville]

Yea... fuck this list.

 

[Hasselbeck]

How the eff is Jonathan Ogden on this list.. but Walter Jones isn't?

Retarded.

Retarded.

I told ya Ogden was better tee hee:knubb:

No but seriously Ogden was a little too high. Dont see him being higher than Matthews. Longer career and a dominant force at every position on the line.

I cant fathom him being higher than Art Shell.

Like I said 00-10 players are getting a bump. If it helps I think Walter Jones was a better T than Strahan and Brooks were DE/LB.
