I am not sure there would be a unanimous selection for first team at any position except Punter where it has to be Lechler, Tucker for Kicker, and Hester for Returner.

Every time I try to make one it just get switched around or think no that is wrong.

QB and WR to me are the hardest, based off what do you value etc. RB was relatively simple you probably have 2 guys in Gore and AD who are clear choices. OL DL I have not really thought much about it.

Aaron Donald and JJ Watt would be the first team defensive tackles and any other selection is wrong. Those are two of the most dominant interior pass rushers the game has ever seen.

I would think Reed and Polamalu would be easy choices at safety, unless they do the thing where 4 DBs are picked. Maybe I'm breaking the rules by having two easy choices at 2 similar positions.

No he is not because you will have the Manning and Rogers crowd

Donald [possibly but you have Suh, Cox, Atkins, Ngata etc..it gets tough to be unanimous

JJ watt is a DE is he not?

I dont think Brady would be unanimous but he'd definitely be first team. I dont see how Calvin Johnson isn't unanimous.

I'd take LaDainian Tomlinson and Marshawn over Gore.

I would think the following are unanimous selections:
QB - Tom Brady
WR - Larry Fitzgerald
DT - Aaron Donald
S - Ed Reed

I also think it'd be easy to make the two RBs Adrian Peterson and LaDanian Tomlinson.

The second WR debate would be interesting. You have Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Julio Jones, Chad Johnson, TO, etc.

I mean, you'd also have someone like Randy Moss who started in the late '90s, won some accolades in the late '90s, but played the bulk of his career in the 21st century (ETA and was named to the 2000s All-Decade team.)

Donald I agree. You probably get a PM vote or two though

Would be tough to pick only 2 edge rushers from Miller, Ware and Peppers.

Anyone who truly believes they would rather have Peyton manning as their qb in the super bowl or playoffs over Tom Brady is smoking crack

I think we all forget just how dominant Ladanian Tomlinson was for an extended period of time. I would take him at no.1 for the 21st century and then Peterson at no.2

If all other variables were kept constant between the Colts and Pats for the careers of the both Peyton and Brady, except the two of them swapped teams, are you betting against a Manning/Belichick led Pats team? All the same defensive HOF players, the ridiculously easy division with no competition, etc. There’s no way Im taking Dungy Colts over Belichick Pats during that era if just the Qb Roles are reversed

Would probably put Suh over Seymour
Would definitely put Wagner or Urlacher over Willis
IDK about Strahan and Ware. You could put Freeney or Peppers over Strahan.
