Ham is also considered the greatest pure “outside” linebacker of all-time. Jack Ham was also drafted a whopping 62 picks later by The HessStation Gaslighters. ...Jack Ham everybody We were discussing lack of teeth. Lambert > everyone. But while we're on the other subject, it's pretty split. Brandt puts Ham ahead but FWIW there are plenty that do the opposite. None of it really means a thing but it's good debate stuff. And you got GREAT value with that pick...no debate there. https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/gallery/ranking-the-greatest-linebackers-in-nfl-history-lawrence-taylor-jack-ham-mike-singletary-040615 http://www.profootballweekly.com/2016/12/01/top-10-linebackers-in-pittsburgh-steelers-history/aoqrqqa/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HessStation Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I LOVED bob sanders. Probably the only recent safety I really took a liking too. Only dominant for two years but without any doubt in my mind would have been top 5 all time if not for injuries . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I debated taking him at all for the obvious reasons: played when football was just developing, played in the 20’s when athletes weren’t as well trained, played when no blacks were allowed etc etc etc I’ve read much about him and he definitely had a mystical element no athlete can match. The questions arises however by the dubious ???Was he fast enough - YES Was he tough enough YES Was he skilled enough YES The NFL announced their All Time Team and it included 3 RB’s Thorpe was #3. What other player played multiple sports? Deion, Bo and others but Thorpe played football, baseball and basketball AND was a celebrated ballroom dancer ?. He was the original Dancing With the Stars athlete. And of course who was able to achieve the ultimate feats he did in the Olympics. No doubt he belongs.

I just made the medal comment cause they taught us in grade school about him losing them because he played semipro baseball. Figured eberyone got the same story.

Finally after so many years, pros can now participate in the Olympics so something good came out of him being judged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that I disagree with that statement is irrelevant because if I’m picking a QB to start a franchise right now, we’d be playing by right now’s rules and circumstances. And right now, ARod is the best QB in the league, and has been for the better part of the last 7-8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 @Patriot Killa Bob Sanders is an intriguing pick I was considering. If we're putting heavy weight on peak performance, its hard to top his 2007 season when he moved from FS to SS. 2 INT's, 71 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 4 tackles for a loss, and 6 pass deflections en route to winning the AFC Defensive Player of the Year award, and almost doing so unanimously.

He would have been thrown off the team had he played in the 40’s or 50’s where players played with injuries most would take a season off to heal. This was the only hesitation I would have in picking him. Part of me was glad he was taken by someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
