ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) The guys who had the most heart and grit (not the most talent): Don Beebe - - best example of how any sport SHOULD be played Antoine Winfield - - when a large FB caught a swing pass heading in his direction it wasn't a fair fight Frank Reich - - QB for biggest comebacks in both NCAA and NFL history Darryl Talley - - my brothers voted him in Edited May 9, 2013 by ICanSleepWhenI'mDead

DJasper Probincrux III Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Who would be on yours? OJ Simpson Jim Kelly Bruce Smith Bill Polian On a completely different mountain somewhere we'd have to have a monument to the following... Hank Bullough Matt Kofler Billy Joe Hobert Gary Marangi or... Scott Norwood Ronnie Harmon Joe Ferguson's ankle Thurman Thomas' helmet
metzelaars_lives Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 in order: (excepting ralph, emphasis on how they dominated their position compared to others in league at same position): #1- Ralph Wilson #2- Bruce Smith (11 time All-Pro and defensive POY twice). #3- O.J. Simpson (DQ'd) (5 time All-Pro). #4- Joe DeLamielleure (6 time All-Pro). #5- Thurmon Thomas (3 time All-Pro and league MVP). #6- Andre Reed (2 time All-Pro) #7- Jim Kelly (3 time All-Pro) #8- Cookie Gilchrist (3 time All-Pro). #9- Cornelius Bennett ( 3 time All-Pro and was twice the AP Defensive Player of the Year). #10- Steve Tasker (5 time Pro-Bowler). Honorable Mentions: Talley, Kemp, Shaw, Dubenion, Moorman Dude Thurman has 1 MVP, Bennett won the AFC defensive player of the year- not the NFL and Jim Kelly was a 1st time all pro once and a second time all pro once. I don't feel like looking up all the rest of the guys but did you just make this stuff up?
truth on hold Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Very nicely done. Some honorable mentions that don't get to rush more but maybe their own bobble head dolls: Jeff Nixon Sam Adams DaShon Polk Fred Jackson Stevie Johnson Will grant George Wilson
DDD Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Anthony Thomas, Shawn Nelson, Antonio Coleman, Melvin Fowler. Muahahaha No love for Toton Reyes.
papazoid Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Dude Thurman has 1 MVP - (I didn't intend to imply he won the MVP 3 times, I said 3 time ALL-PRO and league MVP (singular)). Bennett won the AFC defensive player of the year- not the NFL - (I didn't say "NFL") and Jim Kelly was a 1st time all pro once and a second time all pro once. (I guess you mean first "team" and second "team", First-team All-Pro (1991) 2× Second-team All-Pro (1990, 1992) it still adds up to 3, not 2 as you claim.). 1990 2nd Team All-Conf. UPI 1990 2nd Team All-NFL Newspaper Ent. Assoc. 1991 1st Team All-Conf. Pro Football Weekly 1991 1st Team All-Conf.

(I used that quick authoritative Wikipedia as a reference, my bad). you really wanna go back and forth on this trivial stuff....
TheBrownBear Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Overall: Ralph Wilson Jr. Jim Kelly Bruce Smith (thought about swapping him with Polian, but he is the all-time sack leader) Marv Levy Players: Kelly Talley Smith Thomas OJ can have his own unfinished monument like that Crazy Horse one near Mount Rushmore.
purple haze Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 The Juice Kelly Bruce Thurman Honorable mention: Reed, Talley, Kemp, Dubenion
Shamrock Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 As South Dakota alumni I went Danny Batten & Josh Stammer & came unstuck at Phil Hansen, wrong side of the border...
26CornerBlitz Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 For comparison purposes: @ProFootballTalk How can 49ers' Mt. Rushmore ever be limited to only four? http://wp.me/p14QSB-8V6d
BuffBill Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Would have to be all running back - it is called Mount RUShmore Or it could be the defensive line from the past few seasons, they really need to "Rush More!"

KD in CA Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 For comparison purposes: @ProFootballTalk How can 49ers' Mt. Rushmore ever be limited to only four? http://wp.me/p14QSB-8V6d I think the 49ers are be one of the easiest. Montana, Rice and Walsh can't seriously be debated. And I think Lott is the right #4, though there are some other HOFs from earlier eras. As for Buffalo, no matter how much criticism you think he deserves, there really can't be any question that Ralph is #1 on the list. Like it or not, he's our George Washington. Beyond that there is plenty of room for debate.
Ralph W. Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Me, Myself, I, and the 4th spot I leave for my EGO.
Haven Moses Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Jack Kemp Kelly Thurman Bruce Ralph has the stadium named after him. That's enough.
