Looking at that 75th anniversary team list -- you know what really stands out? There's not a single guy on there with a playing weight over 290.

Only TWO guys above 275. Munoz at 285 and Reggie White at 290. Jesus...

I think you have to add DT to the list and maybe Tony G.

If Orlando Scandrick makes it, do we get to claim him?

Tony G is more of a lock than DT I think.

That doesn't bode well for Bell or Buchanan being on the 100 year team.

But it sounds like they're doubling the roster size, so that opens up some spots.

Based on the wording of the original post, though, is it a team or just top 100 players? I don't like seeing a list that has 25 qbs.

And, going back to his 'recency' comment... I think you're going to see this list littered with 'stat guys' from the last 15 years. Many that will knock off those generally viewed as legitimate greats.

Yeah, history starts with TV, unfortunately. Or worse, the list makers' 9th birthday in many cases.

Sorry, I completely whiffed that the "roster size" is expanding.

Looks like "top 100 players", so I expect it will be somewhat overstocked with QBs as it doesn't seem like they're trying to do a balanced "roster" really.

Then again, the little intro video thing Eisen did calls it the All Time TEAM, so....??

Brady is a lock, likely Peyton as well and Brees, maybe Favre.

Bledsoe was a great guy, but as I've always said, he had a million dollar arm and a ten cent head.

So you think that Brady is better than Bledsoe? Just checking. That would tie the score at 1-1 in early voting with you and kcnut.

That would be my formal vote, yes.

I'm confused. For the 75th, they made it a team with representation at each position like a roster. So I was expecting the same thing here. But in looking around, my hunch is that it's probably going to be something like the 100 most influential players of the past 100 years.

That's fine. If that's the case, it should be interesting. I figure it'll be mostly QBs, RBs, and WRs, though.

This is the only thing I see at the moment that's official, and it doesn't shed much light. In fact, it doesn't appear to even mention a top 100 team: https://www.nfl.com/100/originals/
