NFL Modern Era All-Time Team...


KillerKat

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

    • Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3. 
    • After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...
    • My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
