Best player at each jersey number of all-time.

[Ricky Roma]

If I had a vote, I'd put him in.

I feel the opposite. I'm not saying he won't get in....just didn't think he was that special.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I was always a big Peyton Manning fan, so I watched a lot of Colts games, I thought he was great.

 

[PatsFan2003]

I'll take the HOF lock that you could count on to be on the field every game and actually contributed to his team winning a Super Bowl.

Reggie Wayne will probably get in but Gronk is the lock here.

For someone that forgets Gronks TD against the Seahawks they also forget that Indianapolis was in TWO not ONE Superbowls.

Reggie Wayne suggests Super Bowl XLIV pick-six wasn’t his fault

Oh Reggie, Reggie... throwing Peyton under the bus...

What a HOFer.

 

[Battlelyon]

I would take Sapp over Taylor at 99

Don’t matter, Aaron Donald will have that number reserved in the future.

Jason Taylor= 3 time first team All Pro, DPOY
Warren Sapp = 4 time first team All Pro, DPOY
Aaron Donald = 3 time first team All Pro, DPOY in 4 seasons

#74
Bob Lilly or Merlin Olsen

 

[PhilSimms11]

Reggie Wayne put up some damn good numbers.
1,070 receptions (10)
14,345 yards (10)
82 TD (t23)
1x Super Bowl Champion

I also think Wayne was a damm good player (and will likely get into the HOF) but I do think Gronk is the better player

 

[wood20ks]

Nah. Reggie Wayne has actually contributed to his team winning a Super Bowl before and wasn't a brittle bitch.

Sorry Chew but Gronk is probably thee best te of all-time.....Reggie is not even in the vicinity of best wr of all-time......it belongs to Gronkowski.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Just because Wayne played at a more stacked position, it shouldn't count against him.

And Gronk isn't the best TE of all time. He's a brittle bitch that can't stay on the field. Tony Gonzalez missed one game in like 15 seasons.

I`ll give you the injury bug,but you can make an argument for Gronk……..
if he played as many seasons as TG,he`d of passed all of Tony`s accomplishments.…….

And when talking about the best of all-time comparing RG and RW,Gronk is considered one of the best of all-time at his position,where Wayne isn`t even close......The number belongs to RG.

 

[tducey]

Looking at the other #2's Matt Ryan would be my choice as the best to wear that # all time.

 

[Mebert]

Don’t matter, Aaron Donald will have that number reserved in the future.

Jason Taylor= 3 time first team All Pro, DPOY
Warren Sapp = 4 time first team All Pro, DPOY
Aaron Donald = 3 time first team All Pro, DPOY in 4 seasons

I have no doubt that barring injury Donald will go down as one of the greatest DTs of all time. Clear eventual owner of 99.

The list of great wide receivers is a hell of a lot longer than the list of great TEs. Wayne was a better player, and a far more reliable player. Just because Gronk plays a position with a far more shallow talent pool, it doesn't make him better. That's like saying Ray Guy is better than Dan Marino.

lol...……...Gronkowski has been a huge force since entering the league and could have passed every accomplishment Tony G has gotten in approximately half the time...……

Gronk is considered the best te in the game right now,as to where RW was never considered the best in the game during his tenure...…

The number still belongs to Gronk……..

He's been a huge force when he's on the field, which is a bit of a rarity.

And again, the talent pool at WR is A LOT deeper than the talent pool at TE.

 

[Shane_O_Mac812]

It is a shame that the most important thing in the first place in being on the field. Wayne is over Gronk on this one. I like Gronk. Only Patriot player I do like, but no way is he any more of a sure fire hall of famer than Reggie Wayne is at this point. If I would have been drafted and given a chance to play I would of broke all of Peyton Manning's records. See how ridiculous this sounds, so what if Gronk played as long as Tony G. He didn't and won't because he is injury prone.

It also may be easier to be a good WR than a good TE. As wide receiver you'll get more opportunities to get the ball than a tight end. Unless you're a special tight end..

Wayne has the longevity factor over Gronk without a doubt. But I think Gronk has as many TD's in his career than Wayne has. It's pretty damm close.

And Gronk is most likely a HOF`er……..Wayne isn`t.

As a Seahawk homer let me suggest a couple possible changes:

• #3 Russell Wilson will likely surpass (if he hasn't already) Bronco Nagurski who is the sentimental choice but never played in the SB era.
• #25 Richard Sherman could arguably take over the spot from Biletnikoff right now.
• #37 Shaun Alexander could make a case for being a better #37 than Jimmy Johnson too.

well I am gonna completely disagree on #25.
