Re: Steelers in NFL Top 100

You can bet that Marsh and Peyton will be in the top 10, and Ben will not be on the list at all.

Re: Steelers in NFL Top 100

Joe Greene is definitely top 5.

It's top 100 of all time so I wouldn't expect Ben to be on there. Brady made #21.

I'd be surprised to see Troy in the top 20. He is a great safety, but Lott would likely be the only top 20 safety (if Lott hasn't been named yet).

Re: Steelers in NFL Top 100

i'm really struggling to determine if my hatred for marsha and his tainted superbowl wins is the reason I'm so angry he's #21. They have him ranked higher than elway, marino and TB. If it's stats that matter, marino should be #1. If it's comebacks then it's elway. If it's championships it's TB. If it's a combination, I still have to go with TB or more likely Elway above marsha.

i just can't get past those tapes. really, a 6th round pick no one ever heard of coming in and beating the rams that year. weird........

Re: Steelers in NFL Top 100

Well, this list is officially a bunch of bull sh1t. Joe Greene is only number 13. The entire list is irrelevant now. I don't think any one player in the history of the game meant so much to one team and was as great as Joe Greene was in his prime. He should have been top 3, IMO.

Re: Steelers in NFL Top 100

I just can't watch that show. I actually tried tonight, but the thought that someone will tell me that so and so is better than others who I know is all history, kills me.

To say a QB is a better player than a D lineman, etc. It's just stupid.

The NFLN comes off as so arrogant too often.

Just to keep it updated:

68. Mike Webster
60. Jack Ham (Mike Ditka, #59??)
50. Terry Bradshaw
44. Mel Blount !!
41. Rod Woodson
29. Jack Lambert
13. Mean Joe Greene

Still not appearing: Swan, Stallworth, Franco, Troy, Mahan.

(Just seeing if you're paying attention!)

Re: Steelers in NFL Top 100

Franco, Swan, and Stallworth don't belong in the top ten. Neither does Troy for that matter. But, he is the only one that I think has a chance to be in the top ten.

Mahan. Good one.

Troy is still playing, so, he's not going to crack the top 10 (yet) and the others won't be listed at all. We all know the NFL is still in love with Jim Brown and his 104 yards per game average, so, he'll be #1.

They also love Montana to Rice. If I had to guess, they'd have Jerry Rice #1, Jim Brown #2, and Joe Montana #3.

By the way, I love it that the listed LeBeau's old HoF teammate as the following:

30. Train Lane, Night

I guess the NFL.com filter doesn't allow them to write D!ck either.

Re: Steelers in NFL Top 100

Certain things about the list bug me (Favre and Brady being 20-21, Peyton Manning inevitably in the top 10, and Deion Sanders being ahead of Rod Woodson and Mel Blount), but I do like to see some of the pioneer players getting recognition they deserve.

I like seeing "Slingin'" Sammy Baugh and Otto Graham ahead of Favre and Brady, "Bronko" Nagurski ahead of Emmitt Smith, D!ck "Night Train" Lane ahead of Deion Sanders, Jim Thorpe ahead of O.J. Simpson, Lance Alworth ahead of Randy Moss, Red Grange ahead of Eric Dickerson, Marion Motley ahead of Tony Dorsett, Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch ahead of Michael Irvin, etc.

Re: Steelers in NFL Top 100

There is absolutely no way Deion Sanders should ever be ahead of Rod Woodson. A one dimensional corner versus the games most complete of all-time? No way. Look at the numbers too, INT’s, INT’s for TD, FF, Fumble recoveries, Sacks, tackles. Not even close.

Sanders
INT’s—53 INT’s for TD—9 FF-10 Fumble recoveries—13 Sacks---1 Tackles---492

Woodson
INT’s—71 INT’s for TD—12 FF-20 Fumble recoveries—32 Sacks—13.5 Tackles---1050


Roger Staubach ahead of Terry Bradshaw? Unbelievable.

Nice story, Navy man and all, but by what on-the-field metric should Staubach be ahead of Bradshaw?
