Lawrence Taylor tops our list as the best defensive player in NFL history.

3. Jim Brown, FB (1957-1965)
Major achievements: Pro Football Hall of Fame, 1964 NFL champion, three-time NFL MVP, eight-time first team All-Pro, nine-time Pro Bowler, 1957 Rookie of the Year, 1960s All-Decade Team, NFL 50th, 75th and 100th Anniversary Team, No. 32 retired by Browns

It’s hard to find a player more dominant at their position in the history of the NFL than Jim Brown. Over his nine seasons in the league, the bruising fullback out of Syracuse led the league in rushing yards eight times. Only five running backs have even led the NFL in rushing yards four times—Steve Van Buren, O.J. Simpson, Eric Dickerson, Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders—and all but Van Buren had longer careers than Brown.

Despite playing just nine years during an era when NFL seasons were 12 or 14 games, Brown still ranks 12th on the NFL’s all-time rushing list. He was in his prime when he retired, too, having rushed for 1,544 yards in his final season in the league. He could be much higher on the all-time rushing list had he continued playing.

Along with rushing yards, Brown also led the NFL in rushing touchdowns a record five times. Outside of Hutson, he’s the only non-quarterback to win the NFL MVP award multiple times in his career, winning it three different times. He remains the NFL record-holder for career rushing yards per game (104.3) and rushing yards per carry for a player with at least 1,500 attempts (5.2). No other player has averaged 100 rushing yards per game over their entire career.

2. Jerry Rice, WR (1985-2005)
Major Achievements: Pro Football Hall of Famer, three-time Super Bowl champion, Super Bowl XXIII MVP, two-time NFL Offensive Player of the Year, 10-time first team All-Pro, 13-time Pro Bowler, NFL 1980s and 1990s All-Decade Team, NFL 75th and 100th Anniversary All-Time Team, No. 80 jersey retired by 49ers

While many NFL greats are known for being the first to enter the building and last to leave, Rice’s work ethic was unmatched. Rice’s offseason workouts were legendary, with the 49ers receiver running The Hill and treacherous wind sprints to stay in top condition. When Rice tore his ACL during the first game of the 1997 season, he came back three months later to play in Joe Montana’s jersey retirement game, catching a touchdown in the game before missing the remainder of the season.

It’s that work ethic that not only allowed Rice to return from a torn ACL in three months, but play at his best in the biggest moments and achieve unprecedented longevity at the position. In his first Super Bowl, he caught 11 passes for a record 215 yards and a touchdown, and was subsequently named the Super Bowl MVP. He holds a record 589 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns across all his Super Bowl appearances.

Rice finished his career as the NFL’s all-time leading receiver, finishing his career with 1,549 receptions for 22,895 yards and 197 touchdowns—all records. He led the NFL in receiving yards and touchdowns six times, and recorded 11 consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons from 1986-96. Though many receivers are considered past their prime by the age of 30, Rice put up 12,274 receiving yards after turning 30. It’s why he’s the only player to become a 10-time first team All-Pro. It’s also why despite the influx of receiving talent in the modern era, Rice’s records remain unbreakable.

1. Tom Brady, QB (2000-2022)
Patriots, Tom Brady, NFL.
Major Achievements: Seven-time Super Bowl champion, five-time Super Bowl MVP, three-time NFL MVP, two-time NFL Offensive Player of the Year, NFL 2000s and 2010s All-Decade Team, NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team, three-time first team All-Pro,15-time Pro Bowler, No. 12 jersey retired by Patriots

The goal of the NFL is to win Super Bowls, and nobody did this better in the history of the sport than Tom Brady, which alone is enough to make him the greatest ever. Over his incredible career, Brady won a record seven Super Bowls and appeared in 10 total. If you take out the 2000 and 2008 seasons—which he barely played in—Brady made the Super Bowl in nearly half of the seasons he played, a remarkable feat. He made eight consecutive AFC championship games from 2011-18, and holds the record for quarterback wins (251) and postseason wins (35).

The talk on Sports Radio this morning is how Cleveland Browns dysfunction is already in mid-season form.

Over the weekend Deshaun Watson spent a whole press conference whining about Browns fans after getting booed off the field over his latest pre-season performance.

His coach responds by saying if you don't want to get booed, play better football.

This after all off-season the Browns made a point to stick with Watson as presumptive QB1 because the Browns are paying Watson way too much to not have him on the field – over $40M this season (https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/deshaun-watson-browns-contract-ends-211617726.html).

This after last season Browns owner Jimmy Haslem wrote-off Watson as a 'big swing-and-miss (https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/44479689/browns-co-owner-admits-big-swing-miss-deshaun-watson)'

Performance wise, Shedeur Sanders is having the better preseason, and should he ultimately win the starting job, it's after missing out on a lot of off-season reps that instead went to Watson.

On top of all that, waived Browns TE Dae’Quan Wright has a deal in the works to return to college (https://nypost.com/2026/08/23/sports/lane-kiffin-lsu-could-land-waived-browns-tight-end-in-unprecedented-move/) as LSU’s TE. This after Lane Kiffin reached out to Wright last week while he was still on the Browns active roster.

Leave it to Lane Kiffin to be the first college coach to tamper with an NFL Roster.

Leave it to the Browns to be the first NFL team to have their roster raided by a college program.

As I understand it, it's incorrect to say Kiffin or LSU "tampered" with an NFL roster.  Cleveland waived Wright, and now he's looking to return to college.  LSU couldn't take him if Cleveland hadn't waived him first.  And returning to college ball is still contingent on no other NFL team claiming him off waivers.  

I'm no fan of the current state of cfb of LSU's role in it, but you're overstating this.

As bad as Watson has been, Sanders is worse.  Watson has outplayed him all preseason beyond the games which is th least important part of evaluating.  Sanders is having trouble getting the plays from the huddle to the Los.  He has the longest passing time in the nfl.  Takes too long to process.  Doesn't throw until after a wr breaks rather than anticipate.  Sanders cannot be the chose even as bad as Watson is.

After losing the starting job to Kyler Murray, JJ McCarthy is sharing 2nd-team reps with Carson Wentz? Carson Wentz who hasn't been good in 8 years?

What's the over/under on Romo making it back on CBS?

My guess is he's out all this year, but if he behaves and rehabs his image some, they'll have him back next season.  Potential stumbling blocks could be he screws up again, or J.J. Watt has stellar chemistry with Jim Nantz and CBS decides to move on.

My guess is he's out all this year, but if he behaves and rehabs his image some, they'll have him back next season.  Potential stumbling blocks could be he screws up again, or J.J. Watt has stellar chemistry with Jim Nantz and CBS decides to move on. 

My bet is on CBS Sports carefully finding a way to rid themselves of Romo for cause, but it might take another offseason.

CBS will use Romo's DUI as the reason to find the needed legal cause to do so, but the true motivation to send Romo packing is his contract: A 10-year, $180 million contract that began in 2020.

Keeping in mind how much of a surprise hit Romo was as an announcer when he began calling games for CBS in 2017, there was nothing quite like his predictive commentary, and, at first, viewers (including me) received it well. His commentary carried the added entertainment of a card trick, where the magician correctly picks each card blindly pulled from a deck. See below – I still remember how amusing it was to hear Romo call this specific Raiders-Titans game when it aired nine years ago.

At first Romo’s commentary was a novelty, and once it wore off sometime by the end of season two, viewers began more easily noticing and getting annoyed by his shortcomings: unpreparedness especially with rosters, nonsensical offhand comments, sounding bored or lost, losing track of downs, and overall sounding like he was ‘winging it.’ And all of his negatives have worsened with each season in the booth, most noticeably after signing his monster contract in 2020. 

Romo’s was a terrible contract for CBS Sports to talk themselves into, and now, with CBS under new owners (Ellison Family) who are looking to cut overhead across their greater corporate umbrella – CBS News, Paramount Skydance, Showtime Networks, and CBS Sports – the parent company itself has identified Romo’s contract as a cost they no longer want.

Serious question.

It just can't be that that guy is the best an NFL franchise can come up with.  He does a few actual QB things every now and then, but he spends most of his games looking like a below average G4 qb.  Or maybe a really good high school qb.

Yep. 

This is one of those things that I think is underappreciated by football fans. We overweight objective things like stats / wins for players while underweighting the degree to which being part of a trash organization limits a player. 

Football is a team sport. If a player doesn't have the surrounding cast necessary to succeed, it doesn't matter how talented they are. And that includes the OC/DC, not just the other 10 guys on the field at any given time. We've all seen players fail because the scheme was rigid and didn't put them in a position for success. 

Speaking of the Browns in particular, just look at Baker Mayfield. Almost got run out of the league being part of that org. But it wasn't a lack of talent. It was a trash organization that failed him. Once he left he got chances to prove himself and now he's kicking ass in Tampa. 

I have no faith that Josh Allen would be "Josh Allen" if he'd ended up in Cleveland.

It’s uncomfortable watching Daniel Jones play right now and not just because he’s not a great QB and the Colts aren’t very good. He’s clearly not fully “back” from a major injury and it just doesn’t look like he should be playing. Every dropback looks like that Achilles is ready to pop again.

Title: Re: 2026 NFL Thread
Post by: MikeDeTiger on September 21, 2026, 11:02:43 AM
I really disliked Dan Quinn going for it before the half, and it likely cost him his QB for yet another year.  

To be clear, I didn't like it before the injury.  I think in the NFL, you generally take the points unless you're forced to go for it at the end of a game.  You're moving the ball well, your QB is playing well, and you get the ball to start the second half.  You don't have to try to tie it up at the half.  Take the 3 points and go to the locker room down 4.  Again, you get the ball next.  

The fact that he screwed his team for the rest of the year just compounds a poor decision to a disastrous one.  

As for Daniels himself.....I don't know how many times you can injure the same joint before the league decides despite your potential, you just can't play in this league.  He's going to find himself having been a productive player, who is out of a job.

Not all.


But you gotta admit that's the closest "down by contact" call in the history of replay.  Very much could have stayed as the call was made on the field, but color me glad to not have the "fix is in" cacophony going today.

It's ok, Patty Mahomes II has the ball last....

And to top it off, I have Trey McBride as my starting TE, and I used Kelce as my Flex.  Ka-ching.  Won even though I had to sit Puka Nacua and Alec Pierce had 1 catch before being done last night. I also started Brice Young over Joe Cool...for once being bold paid off.

Not that I care much- but I feel like the Rams got robbed.  The interception that effectively ended the game was overturned by a PI call that was pretty clearly offensive PI.

Agree.  There were a couple of calls at the end that felt like they fell somewhere on the spectrum between home cooking and incompetence.

My i s c & a aggie wife and I were watching a movie with the boy and his girlfriend, one of those rare times when he wants to hang out with his folks, so I missed the Cowboys game.  I probably would have reacted the same.

It just shouldn't have happened in the first place.  I thought for sure it'd be OT, but the Cowboy defense is has problems at the moment.  Then the Ravens potentially got a Michigan one-second redo.  I wasn't fully convinced on the replays we got that there was a second left when they called time out, allowing them to attempt the long FG.  

But, probably the larger issue was why the Cowboys were stuck in neutral offensively for most of the game.  They've got enough firepower to have mitigated the defensive problems in that game.

Absolutely.  That WR truly should get an Oscar for that faking PI, when he was the one that actually grabbed--even so, the DB still caught that ball and got his knee down.

I'm sorry, but if Mahomes and the Chiefs had gotten a benefit like that...

Well, you know.

It wasn't the trying it was the ransom and only a fool couldn't see it at the time....like the owner. You know the same guy who said he talked to a homeless guy at a Bus Shelter who told him to draft Johnny Manzeil in round 1. Same luminary who drafted 28 yr old Rookie Brandon Weeden in the 1st round 2 yrs before that

This is what happens when Daddy Haslem leaves little junior jimmy haslem too much money that he can't help to spend on such brilliant pursuits as those listed above. And Deshaun Watson, no worries though as Daddy's Pilot Flying J corporation was bought out by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway for $13.6 billion. So there's more where that came from

I know several people who went to Philadelphia for the 2018 NFC Championship Game, and were escorted out of the Link for their own safety after, shall we say, being treated VERY badly.

You're not going back far enough.  What about that #1 overall out of Kentucky...

Everybody has at least one story like that, though.  The several HOF and competent QB's from the class of 1983, the Chiefs pick Todd Blackledge before Dan Marino and Jim Kelly.  Some have multiple misfires, and more recent pain.

1982: Bears win that one.

The 1982 NFL Draft’s quarterback picks were Art Schlichter (Colts, 1st overall) and Jim McMahon (Bears, 5th overall).

1983 was celebrated, but not that great in the time test. Half of them went on to have much success, but the other 3 not so much.

Well he didn't have an O-Line but he was a dink & dunk type anyway so quick releases should have been right up his alley. And he got a former Playmate of the Month from January '98 on the Couch and the Browns backed up the Brinks truck for him so he's not griping too much

McMahon was fun, had nothing against him.  But I'd take Elway, Kelly, and Marino over him, even though he won as many SB as those 3 combined.  The NFC defenses dominated their combined era in the big game.  Maybe you're talking about super busts that were taken ahead of your team's eventual guy.  That's a good one.  Whoever was picked after the Raiders took Jamarcus Russell at #1 overall would have to be in the running.

Alan Faneca is a HOF guard and was one of the best of his era along with Steve Hutchinson. 

Fred Taylor was more than just a solid RB. That man was a fucking beast stuck on a shit team with no OL or help for the bulk of his career in JAX and was still straight up torching the league in the 2000s. His size/speed combo was insane. He was a hell of a player.

That 1998 draft was pretty good draft. Peyton, Charles, Randy, were in the ELITE of the ELITE all-time for their positions. Alan Faneca is a HOF'er. Fred Taylor was a beast. Takeo Spikes was a hell of a player. So was Kyle Turley, Greg Ellis, Grant Wistrom, Tra Thomas, and Keith Brooking. 

Not everyone is going to be a HOF'er in the 1st round.....4 in one 1st round is a pretty good hit rate....

Agree.  And the apocalypse is our fault....oops.  I said at the time that an LSU qb winning a Heisman would start the end of the world.  A month later we had a pandemic, mudslides in Brazil, Kobe died on a plane, and now the Browns sit at .7500

Or maybe it's Ohio State's fault for letting him get away.

My bet is on CBS Sports carefully finding a way to rid themselves of Romo for cause, but it might take another offseason.

CBS will use Romo's DUI as the reason to find the needed legal cause to do so, but the true motivation to send Romo packing is his contract: A 10-year, $180 million contract that began in 2020.

He shoulda hired a permanent "driver" like Bob Huggins had to employ.  Cheap, in comparison.

What is it with DUI's being career killers?  Bruce Springsteen had his Jeep ads pulled for the same heinous act.  Meanwhile, the stuff players get caught up in is way worse and elicits wrist slaps.  Like alluded to above, probably just a good excuse to get out of a stupid contract.

zero excuse today for even a broke ass person to get a DUI when you can literally just take your smart phone out of your pocket and order an Uber or Lyft to get you home for $30-40. even if it’s a surge and the ride is $100- that $100 A LOT cheaper than getting popped for a DUI or god forbid worse.

Unsurprisingly, I've known many.  IRL they're mostly normal people.  I've always thought the online crowd was a bizarre form of snobby, in that they seemed to look down on college ball and LSU in particular, if not outright hostile towards LSU.  Like cfb is beneath them.  It also feels like a state vs. city thing.  People tend to feel like LSU represents Louisiana, while Saints fans online give me the vibe they resent that idea.....in their minds the Saints are only for New Orleans and the rest of the state can get lost.  While I wouldn't pretend to be a fan, I'm not disinterested in them, they are the pro team that represents my home state.....but I can't live in the online spaces dedicated to that crowd.  

It has to take extraordinary effort for a Saints fan to look down on....anything.

Panthers/Lions

The Raiduhs are for real.  And speaking of defying age (or not) Kirk Cousins is still a freakin' baller, and a great dude.

A win got me to 2-2. 

And with the schedule, both myself and my opponent were done with all our players before Sunday Night Football kicked off, so I didn't have to sweat out SNF/MNF games to see if I got the W.

That's a nice trio to have.  As always though, when healthy.

I actually started to sweat at the end of the first quarter last night.  Bijan was on pace for 80.  My usual hospital unit scored 192.  My opponent ended up with like 157, and 2nd highest in our league by a wide margin.  Poor guy.

Now, in non-fantasy news...Tyreek coming home to KC seems to be a no brainer at this point.  Is he still any good at his age and with that knee, and is he going to behave?

McDaniel is also a HORRIBLE fit for OC for what Jeem wants to do. he's going through his Josh Gattis moment in the NFL. 

also: Justin Herbert just might not be that good....everyone drools over his ability and stats and rightfully so, but the kid has just never been a winner in the NFL and he looks completely f'ing lost with Mike McDaniel.

Has everyone in Dallas been fired yet?

Tampa is obviously better than their 0-4 record coming in, but, still...

Daniels is a talented QB.  He did have like 7 years in Lawrence, and his tenure was part of the 17 consecutive losses to K-State.  He made some critical errors in those games, and got damn lucky the DB for the Cowboys forgot how to catch, or it would have been another.

My mans got his own show for his Herbert hate. Literally what made him famous. Idk why we’re surprised it’s the one thing he wants to talk about the most

LMAOO he’s doing what McDaniels wants. If you watched the 2nd half of the game you would stfu with your shit ass takes.

Silent on Joe Burrow.
Silent on Hurts

Fraud analyst with a personal vendetta for a dude who has never done a thing to him. It’s goofy AF.

Never said anything about Herbert when he was playing lights out but the second he started playing meh you say something, pipe down and go sleep with Joy again 🤣😭

Anyone notice how poorly played a lot of these NFL games are getting? Last night's Seahawks-Broncos game was ugly until the very end. As was last Sunday's Eagles-Jaguars game in London - terrible football until its memorable ending. And the Sunday before it felt like 3 to 4 hours wasted trying to get through a thoroughly awful Vikings-Dolphins game.

I'm wondering if the NFL is getting to a point where 80% of its games are nearing an unwatchable quality. Ten and twenty years ago I really took it for granted how competently played most NFL games were, especially when it came to game planning and execution on offense. A matchup between two statistically average QBs could still turn into both offenses gaining over 300 yards through the air.

When Richard Sherman gets wide-eyed and starts leaning away from you, you know you're on a good rant.  

Nix did suck, but I've been saying he sucks for years.  Ol' Checkdown Charlie has a <6ypa, I think they said last night, worst in the league.  Congrats for finally noticing what I kept screaming when they were trying to give him Jayden's Heisman.  Everybody's completion% could look amazing if they only ever threw WR screens for 4-yd gains.

Not sure if the vibe of NFL broadcasts is just not his thing, if he doesn't gel well with Al Michaels, or he's too busy with all his college prep to do a good job on Thursdays, but his contribution to TNF is pretty vapid.
