NFL Network's Top 100 players. - Page 5

Ravens1991 · 09-16-2010, 10:29 PM

Ravens have 3 players(Reed,JO,Ray will be up eventually) on the list and they have only been in the league for 14 years. That is impressive.

katnip · 09-23-2010, 08:04 PM

Marshall Faulk is #70

I just hope the late great Reggie White is in the top 10. One of my favorite players to watch when I used to see Packers games.

They aren't... Just Larry Allen, lol. Dude was a monster!

My favorite Larry Allen moment was when he grabbed a Kicker by the throat for shanking a real short field goal then bitching at the snapper.

40 names still to come:

I'll start who I think will be candidates on offense.

QB: Joe Montana*, Dan Marino, Johnny Unitas*, Otto Graham*, Sammy Baugh*, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Brett Favre, John Elway.

RB: Jim Brown*, Walter Payton*, Barry Sanders, Gale Sayers*, Emmitt Smith, OJ Simpson*, Bronko Nagurski*.

WR: Jerry Rice*, Don Hutson*, Lance Alworth*, Raymond Berry*.

TE: none

OL: Anthony Munoz*, John Hannah*, Jim Parker*, Roosevelt Brown*.

..and the defense

DL: Reggie White*, Deacon Jones*, Mean Joe Greene*, Merlin Olsen*, Bob Lilly*, Gino Marchetti*, Buck Buchanon.

LB: Lawrence Taylor*, Dick Butkus*, Jack Lambert*, Ray Lewis, Chuck Bednarik.

DB: Ronnie Lott*, Deion Sanders, Night Train Lane*, Larry Wilson*, Ken Houston*.

* = the 30 remaining players (offense and defense) from the NFL's 75th Anniversary All-Time Team.

Assuming these 30 make it (though OJ Simpson might be dropped) that leaves 10 spots (11 if OJ gets the boot). Marino, Manning, Brady, Favre, Elway, Sanders, Emmitt, Lewis and Deion make up 9 locks imo.

The last spots I see being a battle between Buchanon, Bednarik or maybe some old-timers like Sid Luckman and Bill George. I thought Steve Largent would make the Top 100 but its looking like he might miss out. Luckman, Largent and George were among the Top 50 of TSN's 100 Greatest Ever list from a decade ago- Bednarik was 54th, Buchanon 67th.

Can't believe they're seriously gonna leave Steve Largent off the list.

BuddyCHRIST · 10-08-2010, 10:12 AM

Gale Sayers over Dickerson? Come on now!

To be fair he really couldn't bench that...if you watch his benching videos he both gets help on his lifts by ferociously incorrect spotting and also bounces the bar off his chest majorly..this is from memory as i haven't watched one in a while but i wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't lock out either...don't take it the wrong way the guy was an absolute BEAST but the strength numbers the media always talks about with him are total BS.

Brothgar · 10-08-2010, 11:00 AM

I just really hope that Barry is at least ten spots over Emmitt.

Splat · 10-08-2010, 11:14 AM

Emmitt isn't even a top 5 RB all time, ya I said.

terribletowel39 · 10-08-2010, 01:14 PM

The fact that Bradshaw is ahead of almost all of those people is disheartening. Once I saw he didn't make the 100-91 list, I didn't think he would be on it. Wow.

Emmitt in the 25-30 range, Barry in the 4-7 range please. Thanks.

Complex · 10-08-2010, 01:19 PM

The whole list sucks

LT(RB) over Randy Moss and Marshal Faulk

Terry Bradshaw and Joe Nameth on the list well bradshaw should be somewhere in the 90s maybe

so much more I'll edit this later

The preview for next week's show had Michael Irvin and Jerry Jones giving presentations. I have a feeling Emmitt and Deion will be on next week.

TSN's '100 Greatest Ever' from a decade ago had Barry at #12 and Emmitt at #68.

boknows34 · 10-14-2010, 06:59 PM

I was right. Deion is on tonight's show (9pm EST) and he's furious and 'appalled' at being ranked 34th.

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-networ...e=HP_headlines

He thinks he should be ranked 4th. LOL

That was actually pretty hilarious. And I agree with him about himself and Rod Woodson. Both of those could be argued as the best CBs to ever play. And then Rod switched to safety and was still an All-Pro. Both of them are too low.

I don't know about #4. BUt there are a lot of complaints I could make about this list already.

boknows34 · 10-14-2010, 08:14 PM

Bruce Smith is #31. For some reason I had it in my head that Smith was already selected.

SeanTaylorRIP · 10-14-2010, 09:12 PM

Of course the majority of the QB's are being overrated.

terribletowel39 · 10-14-2010, 09:22 PM

What is the list?? I'm not able to watch it.

boknows34 · 10-14-2010, 09:31 PM

OJ did get picked. Luckman and Bednarik also got the nod as did Jim Thorpe who I mentioned in a previous comment a few weeks ago but I thought his chance had passed once they went into the Top 40.

40. OJ Simpson
39. Gino Marchetti
38. Lance Alworth
37. Jim Thorpe
36. Raymond Berry
35. Chuck Bednarik
34. Deion Sanders
33. Sid Luckman
32. Jim Parker
31. Bruce Smith

boknows34 · 10-14-2010, 09:43 PM

30 names to come.

Deion during his rant mentioned there are 63 offensive players, 37 defensive and 19 QBs in the Top 100. 44 offensive players have been named already leaving 19 more to come.

10 QBs have been named already so there are 9 QBS in the Top 30.

They will almost certainly be Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Johnny Unitas, Otto Graham, Sammy Baugh, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Brett Favre and John Elway.

That leaves 53 offensive players. This is who I consider will be the other 10.

RB: Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Gale Sayers, Emmitt Smith, Bronko Nagurski.

WR: Jerry Rice, Don Hutson.

OL: Anthony Munoz, John Hannah.

...26 defensive players have been named leaving 11 more to come. I predict:

DL: Reggie White, Deacon Jones, Mean Joe Greene, Merlin Olsen, Bob Lilly.

LB: Lawrence Taylor, Dick Butkus, Jack Lambert, Ray Lewis.

DB: Ronnie Lott, Night Train Lane.
