THE BROWNS BOARD

Who are the Ten Greatest Football Players in history

Everyone should have Butkis on their list...he was like the JB of linebackers.

 

Anyone who has Graham on their list is just being a homer.

Graham wouldn't crack the top 10 in anyone's list outside of Cleveland.

Sorry I caused you to be offended and butthurt dude, but I posted nothing outrageous, and backed it up with a couple links.

As if I was talking about Jim Brown.

 

 

I'm not butt hurt, but I'll call out ignorance when I see it. You're nothing more than a ignorant troll.

"Who is Otto Graham?"

 

90% of Steeler fans. He played before 1972.

Biletnikoff must be a favorite of yours.....as good as he was, no one would really consider him 10 best of all time.

I could have sworn Bob just considered him...

Even so, that doesn't take away Gips reasoning. This is a thread about who you think are the top 10 players in the NFL, not the players who are your favorites.

 

My favorite linebacker was Lambert, but when you have names like Butkis, Lawrence Taylor, and Lewis out there its hard to squeeze him in the top 10 best players in the NFL. Lambert is easily among the Top 10 linebackers who ever played though.

Well, those 2 guys made my list (Biletnikoff, Lambert). I'm in the 50+ crowd, so I've watched a ton of football. As much as I hate the Steelers, Lambert was awesome, sideline to sideline. He was the leader of the dreaded Steel Curtain, which carried those teams to glory.

 

We all own our list, so agree or disagree, no biggie. Greats of the 70s are still greats to me.

Yea, this is just stupid. Again, this is just Steeler fan thinking that God created the earth, moon and sky in 1972. He probably would also not consider Unitas, Baugh, Luckman. Yea, sure, the greatest winning QB in the history of pro football shouldn't be considered because he just played too long ago when the Steelers sucked.

Probably 90% of any teams fans dude, unless you're 50 or over.

 

Lets not lose sight of the fact that the year is 2015.

Then, under your premise, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Joe Dimaggio.....none should ever be considered among the greatest baseball players of all time. Nor should Jerry West or Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell be considered among the best basketball players of all time.....After all, they played in the 50s and 60s....and this is 2015.

Note the bold below. Directed right at the Retard Steeler fans lol.

 

Cleveland Browns – Jim Brown

If this isn’t the biggest no-brainer of all, it is certainly in the running. In fairness to the great Otto Graham, who operated in an era of football that is no longer discernible to most average fans, Jim Brown is the greatest Cleveland Browns player of all-time, and it isn’t particularly close.

For some, Brown remains the gold standard of what a running back is supposed to look like. He played with an incredible mix of power and speed, with a certain physicality that made him stand out above the rest in his era. For reference, Jim Brown led the NFL in rushing eight times in his nine-year career (a ratio that can’t be matched by anyone in league history), and he averaged 104.3 yards per game in those nine seasons, which easily ranks number one all-time.

The one (and only) knock on Brown’s career is a relative lack of longevity, but he exited the game on top to pursue other avenues, and he was the all-time leading rusher upon retirement. Now, Brown ranks “only” ninth on the league’s all-time rushing list, but he is universally thought of as one of the best players in NFL history, regardless of position.

Per Steelerfanthink, all players on this list that played before 1970 should be deleted:

Deacon Jones

Dick Butkas

LeRoy Selmon

Emmett Smith

Joe Green

I wanted a equal number of defenders. Each I mentioned could take over a game like no other could.

 

 

Some could convince me to replace Mean Joe with Reggie White.
