I don't think you can go wrong with any of those, but Munoz stands above the rest slightly for me


I agree that Munoz is probably the best ever. The issue with your list (and everyone else's) is that it ignores everyone that played before 1980. It is a little easier to compare lineman across eras than it is to compare skill position players.

Dan Deirdorf, Forrest Gregg, and Bob Brown were each All-Pro more times than anyone other than Munoz and Thomas and are top 10 tackles without a doubt.

Larry Allen could bench over 600 lbs too.

I didn't get to see Munoz play but Johnathan Ogden was the best LT I've watched. Followed by Orlando Pace.

Munoz is the top LT.

Larry Allen was outstanding, but I still recall early in his career Reggie White casting him aside with one hand.

Munoz is probably a top 10 player of all time. He's the best LT by a mile... Which is possibly the second most important position on a team over the last 40 years.

UhUh. That's like saying Dick Butkus tackled Jim Brown once.

I always defer to the former NFL players on this one. It is just so technical.
