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
-Played for minor league basketball team
-has a college individual award named after him"

    • I think they took him for that.  He projected to fit the role we saw in Tampa and Seattle.  But Bryce doesn’t throw those balls.   Bryce basically throws to the sideline or endzone…..not really ever putting them up and in play between the 20s. 
    • Honestly, it wasn't on him last game. There are many other reasons that come before Bryce. Dave Canales is really starting to worry me. I mean there are glaring issues that can't be excused. I said back when the whole Rico/Chubba thing happened. I said right then that you cannot have a coach that handled those 4 or 5 games the way he did. I get it, most thought that he was trying to throw games, which was not wrong thinking because of how bad it was. The decisions right before half. The strict "Chubba gets this drive and Rico gets the next." It's seeming like a lot of our backups are the better talent, so he cant evaluate talent. Not calling a quarterback sneak because of size. Small quarterback have a different type of advantage, just not as good as a large quarterback, but still doable. Then he doesn't even explain why he didn't put Dalton in there (saying it would give away a quarterback sneak is...just stop). I honestly think he forgot about putting in Dalton. There are so many others that I'd have to re-watch the games to remember.  I could make a whole other post on that defensive game plan...absolutely awful. And a quick petition...see the quote above, can we please ban these weirdos and try to clean this place up. This is peak reddit right here and these losers will destroy the board. I couldn't make it though 3 pages because these morons post more than anyone else. These are the perpetual online freaking weirdos banned from getting too close to schools reddit mod types. Get these losers out of here. You got these freaks posting a ton and not answering the question OP posted ABOUT THE PANTHERS. This is supposed to be about football and this dork constantly tries to attack OP's question. Could you imagine someone in your real life group acting like this? You'd kick his butt out immediately. And you have this reddit loser trying to stop people for posting about the Panthers. Any normal person would just skip the post, but you have to remember these morons base their whole personality on their online persona. They would be banned almost everywhere else. Send him back to reddit, they will be a cancer to this place, trust me. I guarantee you he has more comments than 95% of accounts. These guys are the lowest in society so they live online. Its everything to them. You dont want that. Just read his responses. Do background check on that guy, there are younger people on this too and he probably isn't allowed to be talking to them, or be on here at all.
    • Neither of them are getting in. Cam had HOF potential but was squandered by Ron, Shula, and Gettlemen.
