Vikings WR not bad either-

Moss, C Carter and A Carter the main 3, but add in Rashad and Jake Reed.

Oh, and Hassan Jones.

Yeah, I was posting between work phone calls & simply didn't add him.

I guess that's where we part company. The only way I see Hudson getting into Cooperstown is by buying a ticket.

Buccaneer · 06-02-2008, 06:09 PM

Syracuse RB: Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, Floyd Little, Larry Csonka

(USC RB probably the one other team that's better)

MrBug708 · 06-02-2008, 06:14 PM

Laker Centers - Mikan, Wilt, Kareem, Shaq

There aer other solid centers that could/should be on the list, but that is an impressive lineage

JeeberD · 06-02-2008, 06:19 PM

Cowboys QB: Don Meredith, Roger Staubach, Craig Morton, Danny White, Troy Aikman, Tony Romo

Rockets Center: Moses Malone, Ralph Sampson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Yao Ming

Groundhog · 06-02-2008, 06:35 PM

Georgetown bigs: Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing, Dikembe Mutombo.

Crapshoot · 06-02-2008, 10:27 PM

Giants LF have a pretty good track record: Mel Ott, Barry Bonds, Monte Irvin? 3 HOF, including one of the top 5 players of all time.

Also throw in some backups like MVP Kevin Mitchell and multiple-all star Bobby Bonds.

Even if he doesn't, he's a better pitcher than Hunter... meaning Hunter didn't belong either.

Seriously though, if we include college sports that opens up a whole can of worms.

mckerney · 06-02-2008, 11:32 PM

Gopher Defensive Tackles: Bronco Nagurski, Carl Eller, Leo Nomellini, Bobby Bell

Yes this took some work to come up with, but it is 4 guys who are hall of famers in the college and the NFL and played DT at Minnesota.

stevew · 06-02-2008, 11:33 PM

The Yankees have had a pretty good run of closers

Lyle-Gossage-Righetti-wetteland-rivera

Obviously 2 of those guys were dramatically better than the rest.

SFL Cat · 06-02-2008, 11:36 PM

I think the Colts would qualify at QB with Unitas and Manning...as long as you take out all the guys in-between.

In all fairness...you've gotta give "The Bert" some love in Baltimore. He was pretty good in his day. And if Art Schlichter had put as much effort into football as he did playing the ponies and Jeff George didn't have the personality of...well...Jeff George...who knows....coulda, woulda, shoulda.

Vince · 06-03-2008, 12:21 AM

I think that QBs should just be ignored from other franchises. The 49ers have the market cornered on that. I may be a homer, but you can't argue that there has ever been a franchise that has had a better run of QBs than Tittle, Brodie, Montana and Young. Though he gets a lot of flack, Jeff Garcia put up very nice numbers as a 49er Quarterback as well. Niners also look pretty good at WR - it drops off in star power after Rice and Owens, but Dwight Clark, John Taylor and Freddie Solomon were all solid WRs.

I always find it crazy that the 49ers had the best QB, WR and S of all time in the history of the NFL, ON THE SAME TEAM. Other contenders:

SF Giants Pitchers:
Carl Hubbell
Juan Marichal
Christy Matthewson
Gaylord Perry
Rube Marquard

Steve Carlton and Warren Spahn also pitched for the Giants, although they only played for a season or so.

stevew · 06-03-2008, 12:23 AM

When did the Niners have Tom Brady?

Vince · 06-03-2008, 12:40 AM

When Brady's career is over, I'll gladly allow him into my discussion of greatest QB of all time. He's still got a ways to go.

That being said, I'm definitely very impressed by what he has done, and if any active player deserves to be in that discussion, it's him.

Karlifornia · 06-03-2008, 01:29 AM

U of Arizona point guards: Mike Bibby, Damon Stoudamire, Gilbert Arenas (yes, more of a combo guard)

Crim · 06-03-2008, 01:29 AM

It's only two-deep, but how about the Bears' HB position:

Sayers, Gayle
Payton, Walter

OK, for comic relief:
Benson, Cedric

Penn State first round RB Flops

D.J. Dozier, Blair Thomas Ki-Jana Carter and Curtis Enis

Pete Myers 4 Life! In the Live games where Jordan wasn't licensed, me and a friend would try to use Chicago and just pretend Myers was Jordan. That didn't work out too well.

Lenny Moore is also HoFer at RB from the Baltimore days.
