SageAgainstTheMachine Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) You get to make an NFL team out of 53 clones of the same NFL player (past or current). Who do you pick? EDIT: Also, if you have X's and O's knowledge of the game, explain the strategy by which your team would try to win. Edited August 14, 2012 by SageAgainstTheMachine
truth on hold Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Crazy question but ill play: Bruce Smith. If your guys on the oline arent big enough to buy some time it doesn't matter how agile and quick the other guys are. And Bruce was plenty quick and agile for his size. Same holds true for defense: if your front 3/4 cant hold their own and penetrate you'll get ripped when the offense gets into the 2nd and 3rd level. Edited August 14, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack
Beerball Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Bo Jackson jumps immediately to mind. Strategy? We'd run over you until we ran through you. When we were finished with that we'd run around you.

The Big Cat Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Darren Sproles, all option, all the time. Every play is a race to the corner.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 Darren Sproles, all option, all the time. Every play is a race to the corner. Gotta play defense too. How about Antonio Gates? Assuming you operate your team w/o much of a passing attack, only CB and DT would be liabilities.
thebandit27 Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 That's an easy one: Craphonso Thorpe. Tell me who wouldn't want to look down their roster and see this: Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso Craphonso
quinnearlysghost88 Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 gronk. easy choice. he can catch and block. he's able to run up and down the field well. he's large enough to not be man-handled by an o-line.
Booger Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Marcus Easley - most beloved Bill of all time with "unlimited potential" and the "biggest upside" If Easley makes the question/competion unfair due to his dominance, (and we are unable to pick ourselves) I will rock with Curt Henning...aka Mr. Perfect. Guy could throw and complete 75 yard passes to himself. (also endorsed by Steve Jordan)
atlbillsfan1975 Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 what about a young Roethlisburger? Big, strong, athletic. Can throw the ball.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 what about a young Roethlisburger? Big, strong, athletic. Can throw the ball. I like the thought from a football standpoint, but that would not be a safe city for women.

Tim Tebow.... physically he can play every position .... (Someone go ahead and say it) accept for_______
The Big Cat Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Gotta play defense too. How about Antonio Gates? Assuming you operate your team w/o much of a passing attack, only CB and DT would be liabilities. I was thinking defense too. You don't have to be big to play defense, just fast enough and strong enough to run/take the other guy down. If we're talking about a league of athletic clones, where the guys on offense have the same athletic skills as the guys on defense, same attributes, same everything, then it sounds a lot like rugby to me. But, rather than a field full of big lumbering guys, I want to see what a bunch of stocky, quick guys can do. More exciting, I'd venture.
Maury Ballstein Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 gotta give it to Tebow. QB, RB, DE, TE, OL Tebow 1 man show wins this battle for sure

Gronks an interesting call. Not as big as a Bruce smith but still plenty big and may more than make up the size difference in offensive skills. But in Bruce's defense if memory serves me right he was an excellent college bbal player at VT. Kind of a Charles barkley "round mound of rebound" type that could score some points.
