NFL Modern Era All-Time Team...

Recommended Posts

I was thinking of the most unbiased way to come up with an all-time team, post merger era (the merger meant more competition). Stats don't tell the whole story (besides kickers, punters, and returners). Pro Bowl selections would be a complete joke. The best way I thought about coming up with one is looking at all-pro selections by major agencies.

There are multiple agencies that each contain a panel who follow the game and make their selections. I have been doing this for a number of years, but never posted (because usually these things turn into a bitch fest). I update each year. This is what it looks like right now:

OFFENSE:

WR2: Marvin Harrison - Terrell Owens

LT: Anthony Munoz - Willie Roaf

LG: Randall McDaniel - Alan Faneca

C: Bruce Matthews - Kevin Mawae

RG: John Hannah

RT: Jonathan Ogden - Ron Yary

TE: Tony Gonzalez - Antonio Gates - Shannon Sharpe

WR1: Jerry Rice - Steve Largent - Randy Moss

QB: Peyton Manning - Dan Marino - Steve Young

FB: Mike Alstott - Larry Csonka

HB: Barry Sanders - Walter Payton - Ladainian Tomlinson

DEFENSE:

LDE: Reggie White - Michael Strahan

LDT: Randy White - John Randle

RDT: Joe Greene - Alan Page

RDE: Bruce Smith - Jack Youngblood

SLB: Junior Seau - Jack Ham

MLB: Ray Lewis - Mike Singletary - Jack Lambert

WLB: Lawrence Taylor - Derrick Brooks

LCB: Deion Sanders - Charles Woodson - Champ Bailey

RCB: Mike Haynes - Rod Woodson

SS: Ronnie Lott - Troy Polamalu

FS: Ken Houston - Ed Reed

SPECIAL TEAMS:

K: Jason Hanson * #

P/KO/H: Shane Lechler * #

LS: Trey Junkin #

PR/KR: Mel J Gray * #

* = Based on statistics

# = Based on longevity of career

GRADING SYSTEM:

1. Focus on number of 1st and 2nd team All-Pros selected by major agencies after the merger of 1970.

A) Major Agencies Selecting All-Pros:

AP, UP/UPI/International News Service, Hall of Fame, Pro Football Writers Association, Sporting News.

B) Minor Agencies Selecting All-Pros:

Pro Football Weekly, Chicago Herald America, Newspaper Enterprise Association, New York Daily News.

Tie Breaker:

1) Most number of 1st team All-Pro selections.

2) Most number of All-Pro selections by minor agencies. Number of 1st team selections if still tied.

3) Statistics

Can you guys not f**king read? This is why I never posted this. Because people don't take the time to actually read the post before typing out something ignorant. This is not my opinion. Its about number of all-pro selections. You can have your opinion all you want. But this is the order of which who has the most all-pro selections. Harrison has 8. Moss has 4. TO has 5.

Whoa...calm down.

I was just saying if I had to pick one to start, it wouldn't be Sanders.

Nobody is questioning your sexual preferances, just commenting on an internet forum.

That's pretty sick nephew. I would put Randy Moss as the #2 and have Marvin in the slot. Also I'd put Champ and Ed Reed in over Haynes/Houston

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
