BenchBledsoe Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Drew Bledsoe. . . in a New England Uniform!!!
TigerJ Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Gale Sayers, hands down. Jim Brown was big and fast and mowed people over. Sayers was a ballet dancer on a football field. No, I'm not talking about the tights and the effeminate image of ballet. From the few clips I've seen of him, he just moved with such grace it made football an art. Sanders was like him, and may have even had more moves than Sayers, but Sayers still had more grace.
BenchBledsoe Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 The immortal kicker Todd Schlopy. . . who won a 6-3 game at the Ralph against Bill Parcells Giants with an overtime field goal for the scab-Bills in the 1987 strike-ravaged season. Ahhh, the memories. . .
SoCal Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Drew Bledsoe. 91865[/snapback] I don't who you are, THAT'S JUST FUNNY
Guest Guest Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Bruce Smith. Watching him get triple-teamed and beat them was amazing.
renfruzetz Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 My first thought was Gale Sayers so I'll stick with him. He made it look effortless. Brown was a man amongst boys. Argubably, the greatest back ever. Sweetness had it all.
SilverNRed Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Drew Bledsoe. 91865[/snapback] LOL Football: Jim Kelly Hockey: Pat LaFontaine (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-LaFontaine!!!) Baseball: Paul O'Neill (These are hardly 'all-time players'; I'm just going with people I used to enjoy watching and miss now)
bartshan-83 Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Kelly....I miss watching a QB drop back and fire it with such confidence that you just knew it was gonna be a big gain (or the occaisonal INT when he got a little too cocky ) He was a leader and a warrior. In terms of a player I never got to see, OJ. I heard he was maybe the best natural runner "slasher" ever. Would have loved to watch that 73 season. peace
Corp000085 Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Bruce in his prime. There was never a defensive player since or before who the opposing offense had to set their entire gameplan around. This is the guy who is mentioned by every hall of fame QB from 1985-2001 as the guy who delivered their biggest hit. That's saying something. You can spout all you want about ray lewis, decon jones, or the minister of defense, but they're simply a step behind bruce.
KOKBILLS Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Drew Bledsoe. 91865[/snapback] Jim Kelly...No doubt about it... B)
deep2evans Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Definately Sayers, Barry Sanders, or Deacon Jones
Guest Guest Lineman Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Kent Hull- never got the credit he deserved for being the brains behind one of the greatest offenses in history. A better guy, you'll never meet 91918[/snapback] Kent Hull. Don't look cute or refined. Just do what the f**k you have to. And win.
seq004 Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 If you had the chance to see any player, old time or recent, play in a game, who would it be? This does not mean you would like to see the current aged OJ Simpson run around. I mean, who would you like to see play again if they were in their prime. I say either Gale Sayers of Barry Sanders. 91796[/snapback] In their prime without any doubt would be O.J. Simpson. He was just so much better than anyone on the field. He did things that didn't seem possible. I hate the guy today with a passion but I think most football historians pass him by because he stabbed 2 people to death but if were talking strictly football he was one of the best ever. Jim Brown also killed a girl.
ExWNYer Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 Bills player: O.J. Simpson Non-Bills player: Johnny Unitas
BB2004 Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 Bruce Smith in his prime. I thought he single handly dominated better than any defensive end I've ever seen.
rockpile Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 Jack Kemp or Daryl Lamonica - circa 1964 season. I saw then both "back when", but as a kid I did not pay enough attention to the game on the field. Other old timers I would like to see (again) in their prime: Jim Brown Johnny Unitas Y.A. Tittle The Purple People Eaters
