Greatest Players by uniform number

As for #12 I would also go with either Staubach or Bradshaw. Maybe even Joe Namath and the famous white shoes.

I agree with Deacon Jones at 75......he was the original sack master and minister of defense. I believe he even coined the term "sack". Brady all time at 12........NOT!!

BRADSHAW AND STABAUCH ARE GREAT, BUT THEY ARE NO TOM BRADY.

Last time i checked those other 2 did not throw 50 touchdowns. and don't tell me they did not have receivers (swanny and pearson) 2 of the greatest of all times. They are not in the same solAr system as brady.
PS/BRADY WOULD HAVE ANOTHER RING IF HIS DOPEY OFFENSIVE LINE WOULD HAVE SHOWED UP FOR A DAYS PAY AGAINST THE GINT'S !

Bradshaw and Stabauch may not have thrown for 50 TD's, but then again, neither of them had the advantage of knowing what the other teams defense was going to be. (Spygate) Also, neither benefitted from the highly questionable officiating (9/11 = Patriots. No way the NFL was going to let a team named Patriots lose that Super Bowl)

And for me, #85 will always be one of the toughest DE's ever to play the game, Jack Youngblood

Ohh, I forgot. There is only one #37. Mr. Stick'um Lester Hayes

[bigdawg43]

not have thrown for 50 tds but he also never lost a superbowl. Any consideration to Mr Dorsett for #33 or #8 Steve Young?

[GUTTMANN]

Sorry Dre', no pun intended here.

But......If you make Brady play by the rules of the 70's and early 80's, without all the bs pass interference rules and the rules of protection of the QB, He wouldn't last that long.

My opinion of course.

WAY too early to put Brady in any converstaions for greatest anything. What if he sucks every year from now on? I am so tired of hearing how this QB has this many rings. It is a TEAM GAME!
Trent Dilfer has a ring, and he sucked. He didn't win it, the team did, (well, their defense anyway).

[MplsTom]

I'd take Brady over any QB except Montana. They both are so incredibly cool in the crunch time and both of their games get elevated even more come playoff time.

Brady notched 3 super bowls with a pedestrian receiving core. I like Bradshaw, but he had a lot of talent around him (Webster, Harris, Bleier, Swann, Stallworth).

I'm a huge Packer fan, but Favre doesn't hold Brady's jock when it comes to performing in the clutch.

Joe Willie didn't play long enough at that high level to earn the #12. Staubach, like Bradshaw, was awesome.

Wolf, way to stir it up! I think this is a joke if you ask me!!!

7 Big Ben
26 Rod Woodson
43 Troy Polamalu
52 Mike Webster
82 John Stallworth
88 Lynn Swann
98 Casey Hampton


These guys should be on the list. Without a doubt!

I have a question about #14 Otto Graham. I thought he was #60. I will do some research to find out for sure. Chuck Bednarik at #60 is a good choice. I just need to do some research on Otto Graham's number.
