Who is greatest quarterback alltime and running back and Wide Reciever!

Answer 1

RB - Jim Brown; for his career had over 5 yards per carry. Helped Cleveland win an NFL championship.
WR - Jerry Rice; need I explain?

Answer 2

Quarterback- Joe Montana
Running Back- Barry Sanders
Reciever- A tie between Andre Reed and Jerry Rice

Answer 3

Joe Montana, Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice

Answer 4

Joe Montana (QB), Jerry Rice (WR) and Jim Brown (RB).

Some would argue LT, or Emmit Smith, but numbers don't mean everything. These are the Players that defined their positions, the one the current batch all want to be like.

What amazes me about people saying Montana had all the advantages, they overlook the fact that Walsh never emphasized protection, nad that Montana played his career behind a very average Offensive line. Unlike Manning, who actually does have all the advantages.

one last thought about QBs. THE most important number has nothing to do with yards, TDs, or even win percentages. It is how many SuperBowl rings did you bring your team. By that standard it is undeniably Joe Montana, followed by Terry Bradshaw, with 4 rings apiece. Think about it.

Answer 5

Montana(only QB to NOT throw an INT in the Superbowl and has 4 rings to show for it) is the best QB in the Superbowl era. Although Randall Cunningham is probably the best RUNNING QB, but that isn't listed.

RB- Man that is a little harder. That I've seen though would probably be Barry Sanders, ever though goes WAY further back

WR- Is there any doubt that it is the one and only Jerry Rice?

Answer 6

Joe Montana, Walter Payton, Jerry Rice

Answer 7

Probably Montana at QB (although he had every advantage you could ask for)

I still go with Jim Brown at RB (slightly more dominant than Payton, and I can't chose Barry cause I'd hate to call plays for a team who has to look at constant 2nd and 12's)

WR- Rice was the most complete; some people still say Hutson but he ran roughshod over man D's nobody played much zone, he'd be great today.....but not 99 TD great

--Mongoda, If I had Rice (note who wins here for best WR), Taylor, Roger Craig, and the great Bill Walsh working for my offense I'd consider that quite an advantage....And hey Cross, Sapula, et. al were a decent O-line. They didnt need to emphasize protection because 5 out into the pattern when your only goal is completion % is not conducive to giving up sacks.

Answer 8

I trust very almost each and every saddest 2nd already stated, yet maximum of those are activities that occurred off the sphere, so i will circulate with on the sphere background (that could be a small time-physique because of fact i'm no longer sufficiently previous to endure in ideas something in the previous 1992) As a Broncos fan the superb 2nd for me replaced into John Elway working for the 1st down in 1997 against the Packers in the super Bowl (the helicopter play) and the saddest 2nd replaced into while Terrell Davis had his knees destroyed and could no longer run anymore i'm additionally a Bucs fan, so the superb 2nd on that ingredient replaced into Ronde Barber's interception return for a TD on Donavon McNabb that iced the 2003 NFC Championship pastime and despatched the Bucs to the super Bowl

Answer 9

In order: Terry Bradshaw, Jerome Bettis, Jerry Rice

Answer 10

Almost same as the other guy Joe Montana, Earl Campbell and Jerry Rice

As of right now I would say Tom Brady, LT, and....Marvin Harrison or Torry Holt
