So NFL Network has been running their Top 100 Players of All Time specials for a few weeks now. They've shown us 100-20. Anybody care to take a guess at #1? How about the top 5 or 10?

I was ticked (but not surprised) at the rank of Tom Brady.
Steve Young - #81
Troy Aikman - #80
Dan Marino - #25
John Elway - #23
Tom Brady - #21 -- Really?

I figure Jerry Rice has to be top 5. Jim Brown also. Maybe Montana. Reggie White?
Barry Sanders is in their top 20. Probably the 10-20 range.

So who else are we missing in the top 20?
Deacon Jones, Walter Payton, Lawrence Taylor, Unitas, Butkus.

Maybe Tom Brady will be numbers 1 through 5, too. He's the bestest ever. He's dreamy.

What's wrong with Brady #21... he should be higher. I'm guessing they have Favre ahead of Brady which is ridiculous.

Jim Brown should be #1

i had a convo at work with a friend, and told him that im betting on either Rice, Montana, or Brown to be #1. i was also surprised at Brady's rank...figured it would be the top 15 at least.

Rice, Sanders, Brown, or the original LT.

Barry and Jim are the two best RBs ever, Lawrence Taylor <strike>has</strike> had the lead on some sort of points system for ranking players, and Jerry Rice took the lead on that when he got inducted to the hall of fame.

My picks for the top 5 are Payton, Brown, Rice, Sammy Baugh, and Unitas not necessarily in that order.

I'm not really sure now how Stiger intended that ? after Brady at 21 in the original post.

I assumed that he was saying 'how in the heck did they put Brady that high in the list' because that is what I was thinking.. Brady at 21 and Aikman at 80? Really? Both have 3 rings and imo they are pretty equal (maybe put them both around 50ish).

Yet the other replies to the thread seem to indicate to me that everyone else thinks 21 for Brady is too low... He is a good QB of this era, and has 3 rings, and other awards, but 21 of all the players in the NFL all time? not even close.

Yes, linky please, I need to know where Fran Tarkenton is otherwise he'd be another one to throw in the top 20.
