You'd think that KU could have finished ahead of us in the Big 12 at least once ever...but you'd be wrong. They never did. Then, they had to watch Mizzou walk away with the drum in their last ever football game in the Big 12 and the conference championship trophy in their last ever basketball game in the Big 12.

Meanwhile, we're 4-0. Congrats on winning a game against a division I team, btw.

Don't forget we took the final big 12 baseball trophy also

Just for grins and giggles I bolded those who are in the NFL Hall of Fame.

I considered Winslow. So as of right now, yes...he's the best MU has ever put in the league imo.

Hopefully Aldon can make it back into the league and continue a promising career. I think he has potential to join those two in the HOF.

I got to watch Mizzou lose to Norfolk State. That was the only one I saw live. It was more humorous than anything else.

James Wilder was REALLY damn good, got stuck on some horrid Buccaneers teams.

Sorry but you are sadly wrong if you think Aldon Smith is better than any of the guys I mentioned. Kellen Winslow literally re-created the Tight End position....and Roger Wehrli was one of the best.

Aldon Smith has the talent...once he conquers his demons, he has the ability to be one of the best, but he has a long way to go to get to where Wehrli and Winslow already are.

This.....had he been on a team with a front line who knows what his numbers would have been.

Aldon Smith is tracking to be one of the best defensive players in history if he gets his shit in order.

My post was meant to say that I consider Winslow the best as of right now.

Never saw Wehrli play.

Chris Harris and Aqib Talib will be landing there this season.

But you're right. Kansas hasn't had the NFL Defensive Player of the Year since 1997 so it would be nice to snag another one of those soon.

And we all know how it doesn't take much to derail even the best athlete forever....tracking is one thing, but the guys I mentioned are already there and accomplished it without letting their careers get derailed.

As I said, I hope he gets himself straightened out and becomes the player he can be.

Prison Bitch · 09-30-2013, 08:31 PM

When I think of best defensive players of all time, I used to think of Lawrence Taylor or Reggie White or Dick Butkus. Now I just think of Aldon Smith.

Who was the guy recently who retired well before he needed to so he could get his life in order?

Top 5 running back of the 80's.

Want to compare their career numbers after their first two seasons?
