NFL Modern Era All-Time Team...

Recommended Posts

I was thinking of the most unbiased way to come up with an all-time team, post merger era (the merger meant more competition). Stats don't tell the whole story (besides kickers, punters, and returners). Pro Bowl selections would be a complete joke. The best way I thought about coming up with one is looking at all-pro selections by major agencies.

There are multiple agencies that each contain a panel who follow the game and make their selections. I have been doing this for a number of years, but never posted (because usually these things turn into a bitch fest). I update each year. This is what it looks like right now:

OFFENSE:

WR2: Marvin Harrison - Terrell Owens

LT: Anthony Munoz - Willie Roaf

LG: Randall McDaniel - Alan Faneca

C: Bruce Matthews - Kevin Mawae

RG: John Hannah

RT: Jonathan Ogden - Ron Yary

TE: Tony Gonzalez - Antonio Gates - Shannon Sharpe

WR1: Jerry Rice - Steve Largent - Randy Moss

QB: Peyton Manning - Dan Marino - Steve Young

FB: Mike Alstott - Larry Csonka

HB: Barry Sanders - Walter Payton - Ladainian Tomlinson

DEFENSE:

LDE: Reggie White - Michael Strahan

LDT: Randy White - John Randle

RDT: Joe Greene - Alan Page

RDE: Bruce Smith - Jack Youngblood

SLB: Junior Seau - Jack Ham

MLB: Ray Lewis - Mike Singletary - Jack Lambert

WLB: Lawrence Taylor - Derrick Brooks

LCB: Deion Sanders - Charles Woodson - Champ Bailey

RCB: Mike Haynes - Rod Woodson

SS: Ronnie Lott - Troy Polamalu

FS: Ken Houston - Ed Reed

SPECIAL TEAMS:

K: Jason Hanson * #

P/KO/H: Shane Lechler * #

LS: Trey Junkin #

PR/KR: Mel J Gray * #

* = Based on statistics

# = Based on longevity of career

GRADING SYSTEM:

1. Focus on number of 1st and 2nd team All-Pros selected by major agencies after the merger of 1970.

A) Major Agencies Selecting All-Pros:

AP, UP/UPI/International News Service, Hall of Fame, Pro Football Writers Association, Sporting News.

B) Minor Agencies Selecting All-Pros:

Pro Football Weekly, Chicago Herald America, Newspaper Enterprise Association, New York Daily News.

Tie Breaker:

1) Most number of 1st team All-Pro selections.

2) Most number of All-Pro selections by minor agencies. Number of 1st team selections if still tied.

3) Statistics

Can you guys not f**king read? This is why I never posted this. Because people don't take the time to actually read the post before typing out something ignorant. This is not my opinion. Its about number of all-pro selections. You can have your opinion all you want. But this is the order of which who has the most all-pro selections. Harrison has 8. Moss has 4. TO has 5.

Whoa...calm down.

I was just saying if I had to pick one to start, it wouldn't be Sanders.

Nobody is questioning your sexual preferances, just commenting on an internet forum.

That's pretty sick nephew. I would put Randy Moss as the #2 and have Marvin in the slot. Also I'd put Champ and Ed Reed in over Haynes/Houston

    • Is this the wrong place to ask?  Help me please!!   I'm taking my 12 year old to his first game.  We would like to get there early.  Are there any kid friendly tailgating areas?   Thanks in advance
    • Honestly Bryce is a conundrum right now I'm not really sure what we should do with him but I am content on him being the quarterback number one going into next season. I think we should allow him the chance to play out the season to prove that he's the quarterback he can be going into next season.  I would not waste a high draft pick on a quarterback because I'm not sure anyone in this up and coming class is as good or has the ceiling that he had with that said I wouldn't throw away the future I would bring in someone like Justin Fields to have him looking over his shoulder and give us a plan b if everything doesn't go right on a one-year deal. I think the priority right now if tepper wants to make a big splash is find a way to get Travis Hunter that would be option 1AA because he helps with both sides of the field either way whatever you need defense or offense. Make that happen and then go mostly defense the rest of the way and we're cooking.
