wanna be drummer Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I know theres always been a billion useless threads out there, but I'm very curious when it comes to peoples' views on greatest of anything and I want to see your dream team. I'll do offense first. You can do starters and backups or just starters, whatever. All right, First String: QB:Dan Marino RB: Barry Sanders FB: Jime Brown WR: Jerry Rice WR: Terrell Owens (Im not a fan, but hes a DAMN good player) TE: Tony Gonzales Thats it for offense, I'll do defense later, I got me some stats to look up Actually I'll do back ups now QB: Steve Young (he changed the way a QB could play the game and is the NFL's number one pass completion percentage leader) RB: Walter Payton (Emmit was good, but I REFUSE to call him the greatest just because of his record. Barry and Walter couldve ran circles around him) FB: Mike Alstott WR: Torry Holt (6 seasons with at least 1300 yards consecutively) WR: Randy Moss TE: Atonio Gates Yes i realize my bench is more modern, but these guys all belong in the Hall as soon as they retire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanna be drummer Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 Well yea, but every time I try and do thread things like this within a thread, they never work or they do and simply die out before 4 or 5 people join the discussion In any case, who's on your roster Herm?

Bong-Man Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 QB - Joe Montana RB - Jim Brown RB - Walter Payton WR - Jerry Rice WR - Art Monk (Lots of choices here, but I think Art was the best possession receiver ever.) TE - Kellen Winslow C - Ed Flanagan G - Larry Allen G - Joe DeLamielleure OT - Anthony Munoz OT - Art Shell Too tired to do Defense, but I think Lester Hayes & Mike Haynes from the 1980 Raiders were the finest cornerback duo ever.

Bilbo the Rover Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 That was a good tandem, but don't forget about Willie and Skip in the years before. I was a DB and some of my favorites weren't the guys that are on many "Best" lists. I think Ronnie Lott is over rated (IMO), he got alot of press because of who he played for, don't get me wrong, he was a great Hall of Fame caliber guy, but his press is a little much. Lott couldn't hold a candle to Jack Tatum or Doug Plank, especially for hitting power...Ronnie was a "slammer" Jack and Doug were human missles. If Kenny Easley had lasted longer in the NFL, who knows what he could have accomplished, he was really the first "BIG" DB ...he set the standard for the SS we see today. Jake Scott was an all world FS for the Dolphins, good combo of smarts and mean, as was Gary Fencik and Cliff Harris. Mel Blount is hands down one of the best all time DB's. I always patterned my game after my football hero, Pat Fischer. Pat was a small DB, listed at 5'9 \ 170, he played for 17 years, he was a vicious, hitter and never backed down from anyone, Larry Csonka, Harold Charmichael, guys that were much, much bigger...he took them all on. I used to watch the way he'd tackle and cover bigger guys, watching Pat taught me more than any coach ever did. I had the pleasure of meeting Pat, he is a wonderful man, kind and very humble. He signed all my football cards, gave me an autographed pic and talked with me for at least an hour, what a sweet guy. Hard to find that kind of 'MAN' in the NFL today.

Bong-Man Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Picking a kicker is a tough chore. I think I'd have to go with Jan Stenerud or Mark Mosely. Fred Cox seemed like he kicked forever. I'm 47, and except for a short period in the 70's, The Lions have only had 3 kickers my entire life. Errol Mann....Eddie Murray....and Jason Hanson. There's something really weird about that. Punter....Ray Guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 You're the BEST Pat ! Your # 1 Fan ! Pat Fischer is a family friend.. from way back. I don't have personal recollections of meeting him, but my folks know him and his family real well. ..at least they did way back when. When I was real young my parents and the Fischer family adults were in the same circle of friends. A few years back I came across a Pat Fischer trading card and sent to my dad; he got a real kick out of it. anyway.. To Pat! ..one hell of a cornerback! Pat Fischer reminds me of another super hard hitting cornerback that I've always admired.. Nolan Cromwell of the Rams! #21 To Nolan! Nolan is currently a Seahawks coach.

lzzoso Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I cannot say who is the best at their respective positions, however, I will say that, in my opinion, as far as running backs are concerned, Earl Campbell (Houston Oilers) and Marshall Faulk (St. Louis Rams) are my favorites of all-time. Although Earl Campbell never played in a Super Bowl, I grew up watching him literally "bulldoze" through defensemen. Sometimes it would take 3 or 4 players to take him down and even then Earl would carry them a few extra yards until they finally tackled him. Amazing. Search Earl Campbell on YouTube to get an idea of what I mean. As regards to Marshall Faulk, a very slick and acrobatic athlete. I would consider Marshall Faulk to be the "ultimate" team and utility player. Running back, Tight end, Blocker, Marshall was a Master of all. A very Humble and very Professional Athlete. He was one of the few players that did not bask in the limelight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
