Gothamite Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 What's amazing, and sad, and out and out wrong, is Jim Marshall isn't even in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.I know the name from the recently-broken streak, but other than that, what are his qualifications?

Drakonius26 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Beyond a lot of players being ranked awkwardly, Manning ahead of Brady who're ahead of both Elway and Marino... Jerry Rice ahead of Jim Brown... as well as virtually all of the "dynasty teams" making up most of the Top 100. I also can't take a list like this seriously when you have 19 out of the 100 being quarterbacks, and some of them being slightly above average ones at best.It's sad, since they did such a better job on America's Game, and this effort seemed half-assed.

Gothamite Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yeah, that's about the size of it. His postseason play almost disqualifies him from "elite" status alone, much less the best ever.

Gothamite Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I was. I saw him play plenty on television, and in exile on the West Coast, with the 49ers as my "local team," I saw him play live several times. Very great player. But best of all time? I'm not feeling it.

pmoehrin Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I'd give the list about a C-.I thought they put way too much weight on SB wins and overall team success rather then individual success, but I think that's it goes for the most part with the NFL. Guys like Bart Starr, Terry Bradshaw and Troy Aikman will typically be on every list like this, meanwhile Y.A. Tittle and Sonny Jurgensen will not be found. I've stopped complaining about it and have just come to accept it.The one thing I will say is that Fran Tarkenton held every major passing record when he retired, led three teams to a Super Bowl, is argubly the greatest mobile QB of all-time, and he's 90? A few guys like Sayers get by more on rep. then what they actually did on the field. I get he was great when he played, but if I can take someone like Williams Andrews who most people have never heard of and match their stats up pretty evenly, I got a hard time beliving he was 22nd greatest player of all-time.Glad they at least showed Sammy Baugh and Don Hutson some love. I don't have a major issue with Rice being number one, just like I wouldn't have an issue with Jim Brown being number one. I think both of those guys were just so dominant at their position its merely just a matter of preference for who was better. I am glad however they didn't put Emmitt Smith or Barry Sanders above Brown. I'm starting to hear that more and more and while Smith and Sanders are all-time no running back can even hold a candle to what Jim Brown did.
