how old are you like 34 living with your mom trying to agrue with a 14 year old i know football i play live eat sleep it so go beat yo meat and think about pam grier
and what about Charles Sanders from the lions
Rice is the best WR bar none -- no one will argue that. As Fu said, you'll never be able to settle on top RB of all time. Payton was great, don't get me wrong. I personally just think there are many who were better like Sayers. Check the stats. Sayers career was cut short by injury. As I said earlier, he had a high yards per carry average than Payton. Sanders flashed greatness at times (often), but he also had a lot of losses while carrying the ball. You could argue that Emmit is at the top of the pile as well. For my money, I'll take Sayers and Jim Brown.
As for QB, it's not even close. Montana, Elway, and Unitas are all head and shoulders above Favre. Peyton and Brady are too, and they still have a lot left in them. Don't get me wrong, Favre is good. That consecutive start streak he has is very impressive. The problem is that he hasn't been good in a long, long time. The reason the Jets had a good year last year is because they ran the ball. Favre had nothing to do with it. In fact, he led to their downfall at the end of the season. He needs to retire and play golf or sell cars.
Largent is in the top WR discussion period. Just listen to what the top WR's say in interviews about him. That man has more respect paid to him than probably any other WR besides Rice. We haven't even discussed Newsome yet either. Take him and Tony Gonzalez, and you've covered the best TE's ever to play.
Oh, and Ronnie Lott may have been the most feared hitter ever in the NFL. He was the guy that cut off the top of his finger during a game.
Fu, if you want to go defensive player, well LT (the original) is at the top of the list. Ask Joe Theisman his opinion on LT. He revolutionized the LB position. Reggie White is definitely on the list too. That guy was a beast.
