[Scoooter]

Larry Allen had inhuman strength.

[Sarcastic]

If Barry Sanders is not the highest rated running back, then the list is bullshit.

[Jackass18]

If Barry Sanders is not the highest rated running back, then the list is bullshit.

That better be sarcasm...

[-playmaker-]

If Barry Sanders is not the highest rated running back, then the list is bullshit.

if he is the highest RB the list IS bullshit...

Jim Brown should not only be the best RB, but he should be #1 overall...

Lary Allen and Irvin are the best players on that list so far (no homer)...Allen is argueably the greatest guard ever...and Irvin is like a top 5-8 WR all time...but maybe where they are is fine because there are alot of positions you know...


top 3 should be:

1. Jim Brown
2. Jerry Rice
3. Joe Montana

in that order too..

but it won't be...NFL films will f*ck it up...

it will be like

1. Jerry Rice
2. Johny Unitas
3. Otto Grahm
4. Don Hutson

some silly shit like that...I just know it...

I don't think Barry should be above Emmitt...of course that is just me, they will probalby put him above Emmitt, but I will have alot of respect for them if they don't...cause Emmitt was a much better all around player, and unlike Barry, he loved the game...didn't quit...

^^^ hmm...Irvin didn't even make that list...

wonder if NFL Network will have Deion #1 CB overall...

[imdaman99]

As long as LT is the top defensive player ever, I'll be good with the list.

And LOL at Jets top guy who got them their only championship being 100. Strahan beat him out

[MK2V1GP]

There IS a football forum....




NFL Net hates the Bucs lol. Lee Roy Selmon at 98? Derrick Brooks at 97? I'm not saying they deserve to be top 20 or even top 50, but Brooks is one of the greatest WLBs of ALL TIME. I wonder where they'll rank Warren Sapp?

NFL Network rarely does these types of lists right anyways.

[Dasher]

Joe Namath should not be on the list even with the guarantee.

[1manfastbreak]

Larry Allen had inhuman strength.

Larry Allen is the biggest mf'r ive ever seen in person

[GOBB]

Why am I having trouble accepting someone ranked Tom Brady 14th greatest player in NFL history?

[Sarcastic]

and Irvin is like a top 5-8 WR all time...

Irvin was already put too low. I think he is the second best WR of all time.

[-playmaker-]

Irvin was already put too low. I think he is the second best WR of all time.

best Irvin could make is #5 I think...and my username is "playmaker"

1. Rice
2. Moss
3. Owens

-Don Hutson

NFL Network will have Don Hutson #2 though, even though he played in the stone ages...

after those 4:

-Mike Irvin
-Tim Brown
-Cris Carter
-Steve Largent
-Marvin Harrison
-Isaac Bruce

^^^ you can mix those names up almost anyway you want
