[Ravens_Pwn12]

Green Bay Packers -

All-time: Bart Starr

Now: Charles Woodson

Now, charles????

[Sub-Zero]

nice list. I would say the best players right now: Bears Brian Urlacher, Cardinals Anquan Boldin, Cowboys Terrell Owens, Titans Keith Bulluck.

you also left out the Giants and Rams. All-time: Lawrence Taylor Now: Plaxico Burress and All-time: Marshall Faulk Now: Steven Jackson

[Ravens_Pwn12]

the all time best player for the giants is a close call between Taylor and Strahan

[raven43]

the all time best player for the giants is a close call between Taylor and Strahan

and maybe Tiki....

[Sub-Zero]

they couldn't win a Super Bowl without Tiki, in fact they won one right after he left

[MKdave]

and maybe Tiki....

I think it'd be tough to call a Running back the best all time player of any team, because they have such a short prime.

Strahan was dominant for so many years, because he plays a relatively unphysical position.

[berad]

Green Bay Packers -

All-time: Bart Starr

Now: Charles Woodson

Now, charles????

Well, if you think about it...

The Packers don't really have a lot of 'outstanding' talent, especially without Brett Favre.

Only a few players, other than Woodson, stand out:

Nick Barnett

AJ Hawk

Aaron Kampman

Donald Driver

It's a toss up. But you also have to factor in Woodson's value as a punt-returner. I don't mind the selection.

[berad]

Buffalo Bills -

Now: Lee Evans

Eh, I'd lean more towards maybe Jason Peters or Aaron Schobel. Peters made his first ProBowl last season and is a beast at LT, Schobel is a reliable, very effective pass-rusher.

Chicago Bears -

Now: Mike Brown

Even though I hate Brian Urlacher with a passion, he's better than Brown. Maybe Tommie Harris could be over Brown, too.

Kansas City Chiefs -

Now: Tony Gonzalez

Gonzalez is no doubt the best. There may be a shift this upcoming season, though. Two or three guys may get their big breaks. Dwayne Bowe had an excellent rookie season even in that poor QB situation, he may step up big and replace Gonzalez as the main target. Also, Derrick Johnson and Tamba Hali may be poised to breakout with the addition of Glenn Dorsey. Hali may take over the pass-rush responsibilies of the departed Jared Allen, who (by the way) had almost 16 sacks in '07.

Miami Dolphins -

Now: Will Allen

Ha, I think this may be a joke. No offense if it isn't... But Ronnie Brown, Jason Taylor, and a few others are miles better than Allen.

Philadelphia Eagles -

Now: Donovan McNabb

Donovan is great, but Brian Westbrook is the Eagles MVP and the only reason the Offense runs like it does.

St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams -

Now: Marc Bulger

Bulger, ehhh, Torry Holt and Steven Jackson are far more talented than Bulger, IMO.

[raven43]

I think the best player on the bears right now is Devin Hester. He is ridiculous!!!!!

[BaltimoreBulldog]

Atlanta Now: Ill take Keith Brooking over Roddy white all day

All time: Deion by far

Buffalo All time: Bruce smith

Chicago Now: Mike brown??? Urlacher or Tommie Harris, hasnt brown been injured the past 2 seasons?

All time: Mike Singeltary or Dick Butkus

Green Bay All time: Reggie White

Chiefs best now: Larry Johnson

San Fran: All time- Joe Montana or Jerry Rice, defintly not Steve young

Seattle now: Walter Jones

St louis- All time Eric Dickerson

San diego all time- Junior Seau

Titans all time: Warren Moon

Deadskins - John Riggins all time

[raven43]

San diego all time- Junior Seau

Titans all time: Warren Moon

Deadskins - John Riggins all time

San Diego alll time=L.T.

Titans= Earl Cambell

Deadskins = Doug Williams

[berad]

Deadskins = Doug Williams

Ehhhh... He only had 4,350 in his entire career in Washington.. he's not the best

[raven43]

Ehhhh... He only had 4,350 in his entire career in Washington.. he's not the best

I mostly said that becasue he had to overcome the color barrier. You know, not that many African

Americans could even make it big in the league a that time, bu the was able to overcome that adversity and become the first black QB to win a superbowl. I don't kow about you, but that makes him number one Skins player on my list. All statistics aside. (well not completely aside... )

That's ridiculous reasoning and, quite frankly, a stupid choice.

[raven43]

Ouch, dude. Like really, that was totally unnecessary. I have my opinion you have yours. Jeez.....

And besides, I said that went into my choice and that the stats he put up still had an important impact. Who do think is better. Don't worry, you can tell me, I won't bite your head off.

[mcgaheewillrunyourassover]

this is WAY TOO HARD TO DISTINGUISH on many teams

[Redreed]

Chicago Bears -

I strongly disagree with all of these for what should be pretty obvious reasons.

Edited for typo

Edited for typo

a few of them aren't that obvious.

[BaltimoreBulldog]

a few of them aren't that obvious.

They seem obvious to me. Bulger the best player on the rams?? Jackson, Orlando Pace, Torry Holt..wont bother naming the rest of them

[raven43]

"won't bother naming the rest of them" cuz there are none. Steven Jackson is not as valuble to that team as Bulger. Neither is Holt. And Orlando Pace is, well........ a linemen. Bulger is the best player on the Rams. That team wo;uld fall apart without him. Oh, wait that team did fall apart without him.

[berad]

Orlando Pace is an All-World LT. Second only in his generation to JO. "He's a lineman", you've got to be joking. Ogden was the best Offensive player on our SuperBowl team, even though he was "a lineman".

Randy moss wouldnt even be in the same sentence as Tom brady if he hadn't came to New England. Did you forget what Moss did in Oakland? Yea..Ill take Tom Brady's 3 superbowl rings over Randy Moss's arrogant attitude
