Brady

Bradshaw

Cunningham

Griese

Kelly

Namath

Rodgers

Stabler

Staubach

SIDEBAR - James Harris or Doug Williams?

Aaron Rodgers.

 

[Riversco]

Aaron Rodgers has played 13 playoff games. The Packers have not scored under 20 points in any game. They have averaged 28 points per playoff game in his 13 starts. The defense has allowed 26 points per game in those 13 games.

Packers are absolutely WASTING Aaron Rodgers with that pathetic defense.

Thanks for this link, fun to play with

I wore #43 in every sport growing up - 2 years of junior high basketball, throughout my h.s. baseball/football career. I rarely told anyone why, but my first favorite player was Larry Brown. It's odd because I have always been only a Detroit fan, but I remember reading about him when I was around 8 and was just blown away he overcame so much.

Lightly recruited, JuCo transfer, blocking back in college, drafted in the 8th round. Vince Lombardi noticed he was often late on the snap count, had him tested, and found out he was deaf in one ear. With permission from the commissioner's office, they outfitted his helmet with a special earpiece linked to a mic in the QB's helmet. When he had a couple fumbles in practice during TC, he started carrying a football everywhere he went, 24/7. Made four Pro Bowls and All-Pro twice in his first 4 years.

Not to mention one hell of a career as a basketball coach.

Brown was also the league MVP in 1972. I have several of his trading cards. He is a good player to watch on film.

Severly underrated.

Sorry to hijack thread OP, but this could be fun.. SP's best NFL players by Uniform # (single digit edition)

0 - (old school number?)

00 - Jim Otto

No doubt...then again apparently there was only one other player to wear 00. Ken Burrough

Steve Bagarus also may have worn 00. I can possibly confirm via film as I do have 1946 Redskins action.

Possibly. The Pro-Football-Reference data only goes back to 1950.But Otto was the best 00 without question. He was one of the best centers ever to play at any jersey number.

I can confirm Steve Bagarus wore #00 for the 1946 Redskins. He played against the Steelers that year. Bagarus caught a pass on the final play. In on the tackle was Johnny Clement who wore #0.

so, what's the concensus here?

 

[TenTimes]

Gostkowski, 3

Not a Pats fan but this guy is was $ in the bank - solid place kicker if I ever saw one.

What a difference a week makes.

He isn't even the best current #3 in the league, let alone of all time.

This would be fun to do for 0-99, best player at each number.

Bronko Nagurski #3

I think you should start individual threads for each number.

This might be too easy of a challenge. How about we take up the difficulty a notch or two and turn it around and ask what the WORST player at each jersey number is.

For example, is the worst #2 JaMarcus Russell or Johnny Football?

 

[Manster]

Aikman should be slashed in there with young and guy, in my homer opinion

JaMarcus in a landslide

 

[cobalt_27]

The answer is one of 4 (Favre), 7 (Elway), and 8 (Young).

Good arguments for 4 and 7, but at his peak, I'd take 8 hands down.
