Who's your single favorite player of all time?

For the longest time it was Joe Namath. Loved to watch him drop back in the pocket with those gimp knees and then hurl one deep down field. As much as I still love Joe though, another Joe took his place. Joe Montana, to me, is still the greatest player, and although there is a current player that has more Super Bowl rings, Joe never lost one. I watched Montana, in the twilight of his career with KC, totally pick apart a very good Charger defense like he was a surgeon. That was fun to watch.

Me too! As a young kid he was my favorite player. Wish I had seen him play at Alabama when his knees weren't such a mess. From all accounts he was pretty mobile then.

Dan Marino. Cool as hell and a cannon for an arm. One of the best ever, even on a bunch of crap teams.

Jack Tatum . The Assassin. Name says it all: 100% badass. I got to meet him once at a Raiders signing show.



Historical nod to Jim Brown. The GOAT.

Tatum of course is remembered for the hit that paralyzed Darryl Stingley but if you watch the film it looks more like Stingley who was diving crashes into Tatum at an unfortunate angle.

Yes!!
Marino is my favorite player ever too!
(As a young Dolphins fan I was Jim Kiick’s biggest fan...and now I have ~50 of his 1971 Topps RC. I’d like 213 more )

Today’s game is so much different but my main man is Drew Brees. I Love the Saints! I’m not looking forward to his retirement, although I know it’s coming soon. I don’t have any idea who I would cheer for next as my favorite current player.

But above and beyond all of this, Dan the Man is always going to wear the crown.

Bill Bates is my favorite.

Jim Kiick! That's cool, I kind of have a little mini-PC of the dynasty Dolphins myself. So, looking to complete a complete set of just Kiick, that's a unique goal. Good luck.
