Nice. But also massively overrated.

Too high. Great player, but has spent too much of his career injured to be considered 35th best player ever.

Your reminder that this is probably more clickbait than scientific.

Drop him down outside of the top 25, move everyone else up a spot, then swap Brown/Rice and Montana/Manning.


You're higher than a giraffe's arse if you think Brady should be outside the top 25.

Favre at 22 seems way off, right?

No Steve Largent on the list. Why not? Every record Jerry Rice owns, he had to take from Steve Largent.

At the end of the 1989 season (retirement for Largent), Here are the career Receiving records Steve Largent held:

Career Receiving Yards - 13,089
Career Receptions - 819
Career Receiving TD's - 100

Now...that is being less physically gifted than the vast majority of wide receivers. That is also with his QB's being Jim Zorn and Dave Krieg.

Largent, did more with less than any other receiver in NFL history. He certainly deserves to be in the top 100 players of all time.

Same old Top 5 list they had in the 90s.

All they did was add Tom Brady.

He’s got the stats, the rings, and the longevity. No other player comes close.



Manning won more MVPs and more All-Pros in a shorter time period. Manning is the superior player, there’s no counter argument.

Favre won an MVP and went to multiple Super Bowls. Hell if it wasn’t for your sack of shite D Coordinator, he would have gone to a third.

Only player in NFL history with multiple 20 sack seasons. 3 time DPOTY. 5 time all-pro.
