The NFL is the most difficult sport to compare across eras, especially at the QB and WR positions. The introduction of the west coast offense and the restriction of DBs has made it almost a different game. Before Montana and Marino, throwing 30-40 times a game was unheard of, and I doubt guys like Bob Hayes ever had to catch 8+ balls a game. Then you start getting into time-machine debates like "how would Johnny Unitas perform in today's NFL" which is impossible to resolve considering all the differences in the game he played and the time he played it. That being said, Rothlisberger would make an amazing "back in the day" QB, and Drew Breese would be the water boy's assistant.

You are spot on with comparing across eras. It's still fun to talk about though. Lott came in as a corner, but finished (and played his best) at safety. That guy along with Atwater at Denver could deliver a blow big time.

Here is my list:

QB: Joe Montana
RB: Walter Payton, Barry Sanders
FB: Mike Alstott (not really any TRUE FBs left)
WR: Jerry Rice, Lynn Swann, Fred Biletnikoff, Marvin Harrison, John Stallworth, Dwight Clark (The Catch)
TE:Ozzie Newsome
LB: Jack Lambert, Mike Singletary, Lawrence Taylor *(Original L.T.), Dick Butkus, Ray Lewis (as much as it pains me being a Steeler fan, I have to give credit where due!)
CB: Mel Blount (changed the game forever), Champ Bailey
Safeties: Ronnie Lott, Troy Polomalu, Brain Dawkins

heres mine im not familiar with a lot of players on defense though


QB: the one and only Joe Montana
RB: as i said before Marshall Faulk
FB: not sure
WR: Jerry Rice (Im not even a niners fan and i got two from them)
TE: not sure
CB: got to go with Ronnie Lott (theres a card of him beside me right as we speak and it hasnt moved in years lol)
Safties: no idea but ill put the guy that signed a jersey of mine Adam Archeleta

after seeing Favre, i couldn't even read the rest of the list......any all-time NFL list that includes Brett Favre is NOT worth reading.....

theres about 20-30 QBs that have played in the NFL that are better than Brett "the diva" Favre

First and only time I've ever agreed with a Patriots fan.
