who is the best football player of all time? including people like jim thorpe and johnny u?

Answer 1

Joe Montana.....3 time super bowl MVP nuff said.......ask anyone who had their hearts broken by the 49ers in the 1980's.......4 super bowls in 9 yrs.

Answer 2

I'll say Sammy Baugh, he played after Jim Thorpe did. It's fairly obvious that any modern NFL player would have dominated in the 20s, I can only assume that the same would be true for a player from the 50s playing in the 20s.

Answer 3

I would have to Say Emmitt Smith. Now don't laugh.

Today's defenses are much more sophisticated and much more detailed, back then the fat men were on the D-line, and all the skinny guys would chase after the runner/catcher of the ball.
The defensive schemes today would give the ol' timey ball players, headaches. Now, even some big fat D-line guys can outrun some tailbacks.

Well, that's my opinion.

Answer 4

Tom Brady New England Patriots 3 Superbowls

Answer 5

Jim Brown and Jerry Rice

Answer 6

So many to choose from but Jim Brown ranks pretty high.

Of course as mentioned Sweetness Walter Payton is also up there.

great question.

Answer 7

Emmitt Smith
Jerry Rice
Take your pick

Answer 8

Barry Sanders, he played on a team that REALLY sucked every year, a little known statistic of his is he is the all-time leader in yards lost behind the line of scrimmage, that is because he never had a O-Line to open up holes for him, can you imagine if he had good blockers? that guy was amazing.

Answer 9

Joe Montana and Dan Morino

Answer 10

Kordell Stewart
