Original #1: O.J. Simpson
New #1: Joe Greene (that's a tough one)
Dude c'mon man. Joe Greene is the heart of the Steel Curtain...but most teams had great defenses and everything was about how to produce offense during the rules of that time...
The lowest scoring era...the football equivalent of the Dead Ball Era.
Running was still kind due to the pass rules and every team would take the best running back of the 70's.

I get it. That was the hardest one for me to decide.
I went with longevity. Greene was the best player on the best defense for over a decade.
O.J. went from GOAT season to completely washed up in 5 years.
He was the best from 1972-1976. The rest of his seasons are below average for a franchise RB.
