Kodos · 03-19-2010, 09:39 AM

My team is the Dolphins. My top 5 are:

1. Dan Marino
2. O.J. McDuffie
3. Zach Thomas
4. Jason Taylor
5. Wes Welker

Warhammer · 03-19-2010, 09:44 AM

Rams:
1) Kurt Warner
2) Eric Dickerson
3) Isaac Bruce
4) Jack Youngblood
5) Marshall Faulk

gstelmack · 03-19-2010, 09:45 AM

Patriots:

1. Steve Grogan
2. Stanley Morgan (this would have been Irving Fryar until I grew up and learned more about him)
3. Ben Coates
4. Tom Brady
5. Kevin Faulk

Abe Sargent · 03-19-2010, 09:48 AM

1. Tony Bosselli
2. Marc Brunell

1. Leroy Butler
2. Ray Nitschke

Current Favorite Packer? Clay Matthews does what he did this year for several years, I could see him on this list.

No. No Brent Farve.

Logan · 03-19-2010, 09:52 AM

49ers:
1a. Joe Montana
1b. Jerry Rice
3. Bryant Young
4. Steve Young
5. Merton Hanks

Oilers9911 · 03-19-2010, 09:54 AM

John Elway
Terrell Davis
Floyd Little
Karl Mecklenburg

Could also make a case for Shannon Sharpe, Steve Atwater, Gary Zimmerman and a bunch of others.

No. No Brent Farve.

Was Favre ever on your list? Did he fall from grace?

albionmoonlight · 03-19-2010, 09:58 AM

New Orleans Saints:

Sam Mills
Drew Brees
Rickey Jackson
Joe Horn
Deuce McCalister

Random Side Note: When I was a kid, I decided that I wanted to have a favorite player. Instead of taking the time to pick a player that was good, or quirky, or even notable, I must have decided to just pick the first player that I saw on screen after having decided that I wanted a favorite. Hence, I ended up for a brief time with the very forgettable Johnnie Poe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia as my favorite player.

Yes. He would have easily been #1 up until the entire Vikings thing. (And no, I'm not going to go into a rehash of everything that happened). He might go back on my list at some point in the future, but guess we will see what the future holds.

Big Fo · 03-19-2010, 09:59 AM

1. Dan Marino
2. Jason Taylor
3. Zach Thomas
4. Ronnie Brown
5. Orande Gadsden

Honolulu_Blue · 03-19-2010, 10:02 AM

Chris Spielman
Barry Sanders
Benny Blades

Cowboys:

Roger Staubach
Emmitt Smith
Bill Bates
Jay Novacek
Randy White

Kodos · 03-19-2010, 10:04 AM

My 5th slot was tough. Welker was only in Miami for a short time, but during that time, he was pretty much the only player I liked. Duper was in the running too. I'm fond of Pete Stoyanovich because he was an IU grad. I thought about Larry Izzo a bit too.

JeeberD · 03-19-2010, 10:05 AM

Warhammer · 03-19-2010, 10:07 AM

So what did Irving Fryar do to get knocked off the list.

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 03-19-2010, 10:11 AM

1. Tedy Bruschi
2. Tom Brady
3. Ben Coates
4. Troy Brown
5. Vince Wilfork

special mention goes to Corey Dillon, who was only there a brief time but I absolutely loved.

Lots of domestic stuff. I remember mentioning on here how much I had liked him, and some others pointed out the news articles.

This might be hard. I'll limit it to the players I was alive to see play:

Hines Ward
Kordell Stewart

dolfin · 03-19-2010, 10:37 AM

Ravens:
Ed Reed
Michael McCrary
Jermaine Lewis
Trent Dilfer
Ray Rice

Though I've enjoyed watching Ray Lewis from the time the ball is snapped until the whistle is blown...everything else about him agitates the hell out of me (the preening and celebrating, anytime he opens his mouth in an interview, etc).

Baltimore Colts:
Johnny U
Raymond Berry
Bert Jones
Mike Pagel
Lenny Moore
Lydell Mitchell
