Jetsfan80 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 2-3 years ago, I can't remember who, but a poster here came up with an idea to create an NFL all-time team, but with a twist: Each franchise (no matter how terrible) gets a spot on the roster. As such I decided to give it another go this year and see if anyone else wants to give it a shot. The only change I made was, for this iteration, I elected not to choose coaches, and stuck with players only. The rules are as follows: As noted, each of the NFL franchises get one spot on the team (32 spots up for grabs) Players must have spent more time on the team you choose than any other franchise (meaning you can't choose Tony Gonzalez for the Falcons, Terrell Owens for the Eagles, or Kurt Warner for the Cardinals, for instance). If a player spent the same number of years for 2 franchises, you may then pick either franchise to represent. The roster consists of 15 offensive players: 2 QB's, 2-3 RBs (or 2 RBs and 1 FB), 2 TE's, 3 WRs (1 of these can be a slot guy), LT, LG, C, RG, and RT The roster consists of 15 defensive players: 10 front 7 guys (at least 3 DL and at least 3 LBs), 5 DBs. You may get as creative as you wish with the style of defensive front you choose as long as you have at least 3 DL and 3 LBs on your roster. The roster consists of 2 special teamers: K and P. You may also select 1-2 return men from your other offensive/defensive players. But if you choose to use a "return specialist", you still must abide by the 32 total rosters spots rule. If a player played multiple positions during his career, you may choose any position he played (within reason; if he played SS for 12 years and CB for 1, put him at SS), but of course it would be in your best interests to choose his BEST position. As an example, here's the roster I assembled: Offense (15) QB1: Peyton Manning, IND QB2: Drew Brees, NO RB1: Walter Payton, CHI RB2: Adrian Peterson, MIN FB: Bo Jackson, LVR WR1: Jerry Rice, SF WR2: Calvin Johnson, DET Slot: Charlie Joiner, LAC TE1: Ozzie Newsome, CLE TE2: Shannon Sharpe, DEN LT: Tony Boselli, JAC LG: John Hannah, NE C : Kevin Mawae, NYJ RG: Bruce Matthews, TEN RT: Willie Anderson, CIN Defense (15) DT1: Aaron Donald, LAR DT2: Joe Greene, PIT NT: Ted Washington, BUF 3-4 DE: J.J. Watt, HOU 4-3 DE: Reggie White, PHI EDGE: Lawrence Taylor, NYG EDGE: Derrick Thomas, KC OLB: Derrick Brooks, TB ILB: London Fletcher, WAS MLB: Luke Kuechly, CAR CB1: Deion Sanders, DAL* CB2: Patrick Peterson, AZ DB: Charles Woodson, GB* FS: Ed Reed, BAL SS: Kam Chancellor, SEA Special Teams (2) K: Matt Bryant, ATL P: Reggie Roby, MIA KR: Deion Sanders, DAL* PR: Charles Woodson, GB* 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Not an easy task, but here is my shot at it. Decided to include coaches as part of the 32. May have stretched the rules a little for Bill Walsh - since he was never an OC in Cincinnati, but did spend 8 years there as an offensive assistant. So I promoted him to OC for this exercise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High 5 for being another fellow Tony Boselli chooser along with @Biggs! Pretty sure that guy would be in the HOF if he wasn't stuck playing for that sh*t franchise. And maybe played 1-2 years longer. 5 straight Pro Bowls and 3 straight 1st Team All-Pro selections. Helluva prime. The last time we did an all-time draft here, Boselli ended up on my team there as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like "I HAVE to have this guy on my team". For me those guys were Lawrence Taylor, J.J. Watt, Aaron Donald, Ed Reed, Calvin Johnson, Derrick Brooks and Boselli. Part of that was the dropoff in talent for Houston and Jacksonville once you start looking at their 2nd tier guys. Another was the lack of relative depth at certain positions. At first I thought I HAD to have Jim Brown on my team as my Fullback, but then I realized I wanted Bo Jackson on my team more, and pivoted to Ozzie Newsome to fill a TE spot. TE isn't all that deep from an all-time perspective. And Charlie Joiner was, in my mind, the best slot receiver option, so I didn't want to move off of him to grab Antonio Gates for the Chargers' spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Interesting puzzle. I need more time to submit but I'm starting by thinking about the teams where there are really only one or two viable options that are all-time greats to help narrow it down. One team hardly had any worthy players and another pair collided on their only viable option. CAR - Peppers or Keuchly. Neither really feels like a fit but gotta pick someone. Steve Smith was very good but again, hardly worthy here. This might be the toughest team. JAX - Boselli. Hard to see anyone else. Jimmy Smith, Fred Taylor, and MJD were very good, but just not this level of good. CIN - Munoz is the right answer, but so many great Left Tackles, including Boselli. Oddly, not much else to pick from unless you like Chad Johnson enough. I'm not really sure how to resolve the CIN/JAX issue. Neither team had a great kicker or punter to speak of that I can recall. Between the two, Munoz is the better choice, forcing JAX into one of the other choices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Ozzie and while TE isn't deep you have some great TE's. For my money Winslow was the best. I also loved Alworth. Saw him a lot against the Jets and Raiders back in the day. Guy was amazing. I went with Winslow because I still have a very vivid memory of the OT playoff game against Miami. Winslow really changed the position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppers was really good at a position where there are tons of really good players.

nycdan Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Some other teams with a surprisingly short list: HOU - Campbell, Moon, Matthews. I don't think Moon is a great choice but either of Campbell or Matthews works for me. CLE - Jim Brown, Ozzie Newsome, Joe Thomas, Paul Warfield. Thomas has no shot because of the logjam at LT. Warfield isn't really there either. Brown and Newsome feel like the only options. PHI - Is there really anyone other than Reggie? Don't bother trying. ATL - two choices. Deion and Tommy Nobis. You want to put Deion on this list, and DAL has a lot more options to work with so it seems like a no-brainer to use him here. Plus, Nobis is jammed up by Keuchly so it's almost a lock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
