Which football player past or present, would you want to grab a beer with?

Jim Brown - Greatest football player of all time. Certainly had different experiences, from a racial context, than I have had so a beer and a chat might be enlightening.

Jim Thorpe - Along with being a great football player the greatest athlete of all time. Racial thing still applies. Pretty sure he knew how to drink.

Jared Allen - just seems like a fun guy.

I would argue Bo Jackson is the greatest athlete of all time.  But, to each his own.

I think these two are hands down the top two of all time. Jim Brown gets an honorable mention (HOF football and lacrosse player). This is just someone else's post I came across w a google search and I am assuming that it is completely accurate but it illustrates how insanely gifted these guys were:

"Bo Jackson

-set state records in 3 different events while in highschool track
-won the heisman
-dominated NCAA baseball & football
-ran an unofficial hand held time 40 in the combines 4.12
-1st round draft pick in the NFL
-1st round draft pick in the MLB
-played in post season play in both the NFL & MLB
-played in the AllStar game for the NFL & MLB
-played a year of minor league Basketball

Jim Thorpe

-dominated college track in the long jump, high jump, discus, shot put, javelin, pole vault, hurdles, long distance and short distance run events
-won intercollegiate ballroom dancing championship
-played RB, DB, kicker, & punter in college and lead his team to the college championship of that time
-dominated in the Olympics winning gold medals in the pentathlon and decathlon (which includes multiple events including wrestling) all in the same day. Also played on the Olympic baseball team
- played on the National League Baseball team (two leagues at that time) and won the championship
- Played in MLB for the Giants, Reds, & Braves
-Played in the NFL (APFA at that time) and won the championship. Played in the NFL (when they did form) for 6 different teams

    • Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.  
    • Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.     
    • Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
