Sometimes I think you are doing these things just to piss people off.

Art Monk > Charley Taylor
John Riggins > Larry Brown

No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

[MarchingOn]

Sean Taylor should be here imo.

I don't see why this should piss anyone off its pure opinion when it really comes down to it.

However I agree with Riggins > Brown, and even further to that point Riggins > Portis > Brown.

I can understand the argument (such as it is) for some of the guys over the others, however...

- Charley Taylor was seen as the best WR in the game during his career. I love Art Monk, but he wasn't seen in that light except for maybe ONE season, 1984. I'm not saying one is definitively better than the other, but I'd pick Charley Taylor before Monk. And I did that in an "All Time Draft" a bunch of us did over on the NFL site a couple years ago. One being listed as WR1 and the other at WR2 doesn't make much difference when you're running at least 2 WRs out there.
- Riggins was probably a better player than Larry Brown, but Larry Brown was also very, very good. Either of them could start on this team.
- Thiesmann is not the best QB they've had and wouldn't start over Sonny. Or Slingin' Sammy for that matter. Sammy could also double as the Punter (and he should), saving a roster spot.
- Champ Bailey should not be on this team. He started there, yes, but was traded to Denver for Clinton Portis. Bailey is an all time Bronco, and shouldn't be on any other team. Especially when Portis is listed on this team at the same time. You can't have both on the same team when they were traded FOR each other.
- Monte Coleman is missing on this at LB.
- Mel Kaufman could also be considered at LB.
- KR is kind of a no-brainer, except it's Mike NELMS.


- Paul Krause should not be on this team. He's a Viking. Yes, he started in Washington, but will be remembered as the guy patrolling the secondary with the Purple People Eaters during their run of SBs in the 60s/70s. He's also remembered for being in one of the greatest shots in history as Larry Csonka drags him all over the field in SB8. Check out the NFL Films video of that one. Frickin' great.




Can barely see him in this shot...only his arm and head, but he's there...


- Side note - I was there in 1998 at the Pro Football HOF the day he went into the Hall with Tommy McDonald, Dwight Stephenson, Anthony Munoz and Mike Singletary. My first trip to the Hall. Great class.
