Eagles - Nick Foles, Nick Foles, Nick Foles, Nick Foles

 

[cdumler7]

I would say Terrell Davis would make the Mount Rushmore before Rod Smith for the Broncos. His career ended quickly but he was the MVP of them winning back-to-back Super Bowls.

I might also put Champ Bailey on there before Tom Jackson.

 

[Rock Strongo]

PATRIOTS--Tom Brady, Mike Haynes, Stanley Morgan, Andre Tippett.

tough to argue...tho id put law over haynes. haynes had 28 picks here. law had 36. he also scored 6 TD's here.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Hmmm, doesn't feel quite right to leave Willie Lanier off, he was a better player than Dawson was a QB. Maybe that's just me. I never got to see those players live obviously- but that's just my read on it.

 

[Jikkle]

I'd put Steve Young over Roger Craig for the 9ers.

 

[Battlelyon]

RAMS--Eric Dickerson, Marshall Faulk, Jackie Slater, Kurt Warner.

 

[Ricky Roma]

PATRIOTS--Tom Brady, Mike Haynes, Stanley Morgan, Andre Tippett.

John Hannah?

 

[Rock Strongo]

John Hannah?

he'd be there. hard to put a lineman in over skill positions guys tho.

hannah was a mountain

 

[Ricky Roma]

As for the Niners....Roger Craig was a pretty special player, but I think there are a few guys who should be there before. Jimmy Johnson, Steve Young, Leo Nomellini....

Still arguably the best guard in history...in an era when you ran the ball....more of a 'mans' game.

I have two worthy nominations:

he destroed anyone who was in his way. im sad as i was 10 when he retired. never got to appreciate him. m just happy he didnt endure 86.

another one we forget is bruce armstrong. i WISH he stayed another year. he coudl be there with hannah.

 

[PhilSimms11]

GOOD LORD. I left out Chuck Bednarik of the Eagles.

And Deacon Jones

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Hmmm, doesn't feel quite right to leave Willie Lanier off, he was a better player than Dawson was a QB. Maybe that's just me. I never got to see those players live obviously- but that's just my read on it.

Then again, Len Dawson was kind of a badass.

 

[Nosferatu]

VIKINGS--Cris Carter, Alan Page, Adrian Peterson, Fran Tarkenton.

Alan Page, Adrian Peterson, Carl Eller, Randy Moss
