I love me some Jerry but if Brady wins again it'll be hard to compete with a starting QB with passing records and 5 rings. There should also be a D player here like co captains. Deion Sanders? Mike singletary? Mean Joe? Deacon Jones? Idk it's hard to choose on defense because of how different the eras were and I'm not sure how much to weigh in championships for them.

>>73942533
>NFL = Jerry Rice

I know NFL GOATS are hard to select, but Rice isnt even top 5 desu.

Better choices are the following:
L. Taylor - redefined the D/L position by creating the edge rusher not in a 3 point stance. Offenses had to tailor blocking schemes specifically for him

Unitas - redefined the QB position by being a pocket passer and first to truly utilize down-field passes play to play.

Jim Brown - greatest overall athlete the NFL has ever seen. Only other athlete to come close to him was Bo Jackson, and his career didnt last because of the blow hip.

OJ Simpson - probably the greatest pure RB the NFL has ever seen. Amazing presence and awareness of the field and could slam into small holes for big gains. Speed, strength, agility, height, he had it all.

Rest are debatable, if your argument doesnt include at least these 4, just give up.

OJ literally carried the awful buffalo bills to the playoffs, year after year after year. He had a season where he averaged 36 carries a game. averaged. Everyone knew he was all they had and still couldnt stop him. hes electric. jim and LT are the goats. Id rather have OJ tho, no one before or since could do what he could

OJ is top 3 running back in NFL history, period. Only RB i would put ahead of him is Brown. You obviously dont have a clue about NFL history.

>>73946521
>>73946785
Who was better in the 80's and 90's?? Only one that comes to mind is reggie white, and id still take LT over him. Reggie was one of the best DT's in the game, LT changed the way defense was schemed, and forced offensive coaches to change their blocking schemes because he was so disruptive.

BTW, all those sacks reggie got were also due to him having a great supporting cast/defense/buddy ryan.

>>73946831

>>73946833

"no" walter payton, jim brown, and barry sanders. and even if OJ was top 3 thats not the argument casual, you cant be the GOAT at a sport and not be the best at your position fucking retards I swear.

nah, that was me on your pops when I pulled out

>>73946884
Jim Brown is #1, OJ is #2, rest are debatable. Jim was GOAT of NFL history. Thats my point retard.

>>73946912
meh OJ Had what I think was the best single season ever by a rb but he didnt nearly the longevity walter payton did, oj had a really good 5 year stretch but before and after that he was pretty unremarkable.

>BTW, all those sacks reggie got were also due to him having a great supporting cast/defense/buddy ryan.
And Taylor didn't benefit from a great supporting cast and Parcells/Belichick? Carson & Banks were both elite players at lb. White had better sack totals and made more plays in the run game despite playing at a position that rarely accumulates tackles.

The 93 Packers defense gave up a full yard less per play than the 92 Packers, with White being the only major change.

>>73947160
Im not knocking Reggie in any way. He was probably one of the best DT's to ever play the game, but LT changed the game completely. LT created a new position as a hybrid edge rusher who can drop back and cover. LT was capable of doing 4 things at any time during a game, which was unheard of at the time (pass rushing, run stopping, covering a back or TE, and dropping back into zone coverage). Reggie was a pure pass rusher who clogged up the A gaps.

The difference is, Reggie was the best pass rusher on the field, while LT was the best player on the field.

>>73946672
Okay I'll go along with best defender. Jerry Rice was more than longevity. For over a decade he held single season records in yards, receptions, and receiving tds. Still holds receptions I believe. And is top 3 in all 3 categories. He's pretty fucking good is an understatement. TB12 has some similar stats for his position.

>>73946833
>>73947160
Maybe you guys are missing the point altogether then, maybe a DL simply can't be the best defender because they must rely so much on the cast around them. Seems to me a legendary linebacker or DB maybe impacts the overall defense more simply by value of their position.
