Best Nfl Player Of All Time

[jmastert]

Who do u think the best player of all time is. I saw this on 1st and 10 on espn today.


I think the best is Lawernce Taylor becuse he was a sack machine. And tackled everyone on the field. I also feel it could be Ladanian.

[J-E-T-S]

Its between
Joe Montana
Barry Sanders
Jim Brown

There is no way to tell this
I mean offense? defense?
QB? RB? LB? Linemen?

Sanders, wouldn't even be a question had he not retired prematurely.

[bonafide1091]

Barry Sanders and LT ( Taylor) but if i had to choose one, it would be barry

Sanders, wouldn't even be a question had he not retired prematurely.

I second that. Barry put up huge numbers in a shortened career. Imagine where he could have been if he played another 5-6 years like it was possible to do. He'd be the undoubted best player ever. Currently, it's a toss up. There have been so many good players.

Pre-2007
QB - Joe Montana, Dan Mario, Steve Young
RB - Barry Sanders, Jim Brown, Walt Payton
WR - Jerry Rice, Tim Brown, Cris Carter
Defense - Reggie White, Lawerence Taylor

Currently
QB - Peyton Manning, Tom Brady
RB - Ladainian Tomlinson, Shaun Alexander
WR - Marvin Harrison
Defense - Shawne Merriman, Brian Urlacher, Ray Lewis

Harrison????? I dont think so.... if you put any of those other players on another team they are still great. If you put Harrison on a different team... hes a sub par WR

Your putting a man who was convicted of performance enhancing drugs ahead of Urlacher and Ray Lewis????
I dont a free but hey thats you opinion
Also I wouldnt put Cris Carter that high, I mean he was good but Im not sure about that good.

[Cards0505]

and if your gonna put Lewis on there... put Jason Taylor or Zach Thomas

[chicagoman1]

Also Harrison is a no I would actually go with Chad Johnson
and the Running backs should go Jim Brown, Payton, Sanders
A lot of people forget but Jim Brown cut his career short too and Payton has more yards and a ring Sanders does not

[chicagoman1]

To the cards guy Zach Thomas is one of the best in current I would say Jason Taylor is though
I would actually put Taylor up at two behind Urlacher and before Lewis
Merriman is OFF MY LIST
the cheater

[Cards0505]

Steve Smith when healthy....

Thomas has been the most consistent player in the last 10 -12 years. hes a tackling machine. But Taylor is the best defensive player in the league (AFC for sure) for some time now.

[cardinals1226]

Harrison????? I dont think so.... if you put any of those other players on another team they are still great. If you put Harrison on a different team... hes a sub par WR

Sub-par? I should smack for saying something stupid as that. Who you going to put there instead of Harrison? And don't say Moss or Ownes or I really will smack you.

It's not an order, it's a list. Besides, I'm not going to sit here and name every single player. I only meant to list 3 or so.

Best ever- Barry sanders.

Very close behind- Jerry Rice and Dan Marino.
