NFL to name a team of the 100 greatest players of all time
Rich Eisen announced today, as part of the NFL 100th year.
Eisen, Chris Collinsworth and (wait for it) Hoodie will be hosting the 6-week series. Thoughts? There's about 300 Hall of Fame inductees, so roughly 2/3 won't make it to the all time team, and that doesn't include Mahomes, etc. who are still playing. Over/under on how many Chiefs? https://twitter.com/richeisen/status...467344386?s=12 |

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.

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'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/
