NFL Franchise Five.

[PhilSimms11]

Alongside Drew Brees, not instead of him. I would have them BOTH on the list. Archie played on the worst of the Saints teams and still made All-Pro. That says something.

Archie made the Pro Bowl twice (1978-79), but was never All-Pro. The criteria is:
1 Head Coach
1 QB
3 Non-QB players

Gotcha! Missed the 1-1-3 criteria part, so I agree with Brees over Manning for the 1 QB. As for the other, if you are in the Pro Bowl, you are an All-Pro in my book - semantics or not. Bottom line, he was a great QB on terrible Saints teams.

CBSSports.com's Franchise Five dives into five most impactful people in each NFL's team history. Our rules here bind us to pick just one quarterback, three non-quarterback players and one head coach. Qualifier: Individual must not be a current player in the NFL.

I'm going to override the current player thing and make my own Franchise Five. I haven't looked at their's.

Dallas should have Larry Allen on their squad over Dorsett. Prime Time probably deserves to be there too.

agreed....Larry Allen could very well be the best guard ever and belongs on this list instead of Dorsett.
Sanders? No way does he trump Lilly or Emmitt. Hell, Sanders would way down the list of Dallas all time players. He's not even the best all time Dallas corner.

 

[PhilSimms11]

This is more of a nit picking think for me but I think for Cinci, I would have Kenny Anderson slightly over Boomer.

That was a tough one. I went back and forth.

How sad is it that Brad Johnson is on tge Bucs list.
I think Ryan should be on the Falcons one over Vick too.

Vick was a flash in the pan otherwise known as a coach killer.

Yeah, he won a Super Bowl with them which is always commendable. He had a pretty damn good career for a 9th round draft pick. I chose Doug Williams who led them to their first division title in 1979. To be 0-26 to start the 1976-77 seasons and then be 10-6 two seasons later is pretty impressive (Williams' 2nd season).

Agreed on Matt Ryan, a future Hall-of-Famer.

 

[PDay8810]

I don't know Phil.
Paul Warfield belongs somewhere. Surely we could kick the kicker off and put him with the Browns

 

[PDay8810]

another favorite of mine.
Charley Taylor was better than Art Monk
