New York Mick Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Since there’s not much action going on right now. If you could sign any player in their prime ever to help this current team win a SB and start a franchise who would it be. LT Decon Jones Reggie White Larry Allen Walter Jones Orlando Pace Joe Thomas Jonathan Ogden Jerry Rice Calvin Johnson Jim Brown Neon Deon Rod Woodson Is getting a passrusher more important then giving Darnold time to throw or is getting him a sure offense threat most important or is it a shutdown corner?

Larz Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 LT. That stance at the line is one of the most iconic images in NFL history See buddy Ryan call the first play of the drive to sucker in LT and Crack him high and low.

ljr Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Interesting , no love for greatest WR in NFL history on a team with no #1 WR in a league 1000% more passing oriented than it was in his era, to help our young budding star (hopefully) QB achieve his rightful pinnacle on Mount Olympus Jerry Rice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section314 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 No brainer....Lt. Most dominant player at any position. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetFaninMI Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 "Mean" Joe Green, L.C. Greenwood, Ernie Holmes, and Dwight White. Those guys would head slap the you-know-what out of these daises that play today. Of course with the rule changes it might not go over well but it sure would be fun to watch!

Sonny Werblin Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Those are all time great players, but LT and Jim Brown stand far above the rest in their ability to single handedly win a football game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolot Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 LT was the best football player I’ve ever seen , it gets a bit forgotten because of the off the field stuff and the sideshow he eventually became , but in his prime he was other worldly, right there with Jordan , Mariano , Gretzky. Those are the 4 guys that in their primes it felt like you were watching an alien from a superior planet compete against humans . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycdan Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Emotionally, I think Earl Campbell because there was no player I like watching more than him. Earl in his prime would still be the best RB in the game today by such a huge margin, and what he would do to some of these puffed up players today...yowza. Realistically, LT. Nobody I can think of would change a team's fortunes individually more than him. For this team, right now, as much as Pace or Ogden, or Megatron would be such an incredible upgrade at their positions, I'd still say LT. Joe Thomas doesn't belong. He was great, but not Ogden/Pace/Munoz great. I'd swap in Revis as an alternative to Deion if you like a more physical CB. Of course you could also go with Mel Blount then, but the flags he would get today... Still, would be fun. My runner up...Larry Allen. Nobody could turn around an OLine quicker than him. He could play either side, Tackle or Guard and instantly be the best player on your line. Not the best left tackle vs. Ogden/Pace, but the swiss army bazooka this line needs. I'd take him right now over almost anyone but LT now that I think about it for what he would mean to the entire offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetworks Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Given the choices I have to go with LT. That said, Munoz and Reggie White deserve to be included IMO, absolutely dominant at their positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither would be allowed to play like that now. For a 3-4 team in need of a pass rusher for the last 10 years, I'd have to say LT. His run of dominance was like nothing I can think of. If the team went to a 4-3, probably Reggie White. There are other great WR in the game close to Rice (not in career longevity obviously) but I don't know of anyone like LT. I never saw Deacon Jones play, so it's very hard for me to judge. For those who say he would be too small in today's game, can you imagine him as on OLB at 260 pounds, running a 4.5 with all of his pass rush moves? Take away the club to the side of the head, and he still dominates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Ronnie Lott, had a field pass years ago for a USC game, got to stand by Ronnie Lott, Willie McGinest and Marcus Allen - they wanted to make sure I could see, but remain safe. #55 is the one for me though, loved watching Junior Seau play.
