Favorite NFL team and list of their all-time greatest players list minimum of 22?
List yours because I wrote an all-time great team and found out I was Bears biased so this is for anyone who wants to list their favorite team and their all-time greats. Best answer will go to the person who explains their 22 all-time greats.

JC, you must be smoking crack. Steelers are not known for offensive and defensive lineman? Are you kidding me? I am a Cowboys fan and I know more about the Steelers than you! An infant would! You act like you watched Terry Bradshaw play, but then you must have taken a nap when his defense came on. Remember them? The Steel Curtain? One of the best defenses of all time! Also, where is Mel Blount, one of the NFL's greatest corners ever.
Anyway, my team is the Cowboys:
QB: Aikman or Staubach. Staubach if I want a scrambler, Aikman if I want more of a drop back guy.
HB: Emmitt Smith. Any question at all here? (Honorable mention: Tony Dorsett.)
FB: Darryl Johnston. Just a great fullback.
WR: Drew Pearson. Amazing.
WR: Michael Irvin. An athletic pass catcher who was a great all-around player at receiver. Just entered the HoF.
TE: Jason Witten. He is a great young tight end on his way up.
Skipping O-lineman, because the Cowboys had so many great lineman, it would be hard to pick a few, and I know I would leave someone deserving out.
DE: Ed "Too Tall" Jones. Enough said.
DE: Harvey Martin. Great D-lineman. Co-Super Bowl MVP. Multiple Pro Bowls. Enough said.
DT: Bob Lilly. Considered to be one of the greatest defensive players of all-time.
DT: Randy White. Great at playing the run AND the pass. Got to love a DT who averaged nearly 8 sacks per year over a 14 year career.
OLB: DeMarcus Ware. Hey I know, he is a young guy, but he is really coming on strong. He is a terriffic pass-rusher, good in coverage, an EXCELLENT tackler (see his unassissted tackle of Brandon Jacobs for a 3 yard loss on fourth down last year against the Giants), has good hands, and can stiff arm Mike Vick pretty well.
MLB: Dat Nguyen. An undersized linebacker from Vietnam, and a guy who no one thought would do anything in the NFL. He turned into one of the Cowboy's greatest all-time linebackers, and ended his career early with a severe neck injury. However, he was a great player.
CB: Deion Sanders. Perhaps the greatest corner ever.
CB: Herb Adderly. It was hard to choose him over Mel Renfro, but Renfro also played safety, so I put him there and Adderly here.
FS: Darren Woodson. A great tackler and hitter. Good in coverage. And he did something no one else has ever done: He made Roy Williams look like he could cover something more advanced than a walnut.
SS: Mel Renfro. He really did well at corner and played most of his career there, but I needed a great safety, so he is my man. (honorable mention: Charlie Waters.)
That is my list, and I hope I didn't leave anyone off.

Steelers
QB- Terry Bradshaw. Bradshaw was a more than decent QB, but wouldn't have been considered so great if he was on a passing team without a truly legendary defense. Pittsburgh's never really had a great QB since we've always been a running team.
HB- Jerome Bettis. I'd put him above Franco Harris. He carried the Steelers offense for a decade without a good QB and is in the Top 10 all-time in rushing. One of the greatest Steelers ever and a really great guy.
HB- Franco Harris. Really good RB, not one of the all-time greats, but definately Pittsburgh's 2nd best.
FB- Tim Lester. Blocked for the Bus for several years. The current FB, Kreider is really good as well.
WR- Hines Ward. Best blocking WR in the NFL.
WR- Lynn Swann. Athletic pass-catcher.
WR- John Stallworth. Just a great player. I honestly don't know much about him.
TE- Heath Miller. This guy is going to be good.
G- Alan Faneca. Perennial Pro-Bowler
C- Dermontti Dawson. One of the best centers ever.
DE- Mean Joe Greene.
LB- Joey Porter. Great blitzer and great heart.
LB- Greg Lloyd. Just scary.
LB- Jack Lambert
LB- Jack Hamm
LB- LC Greenwood
LB- Jason Gildon
LB- Levon Kirkland
The Steelers have the best linebackers of all-time by far. That's why I feel a need to list 7 of them.
CB- Rod Woodson. Best CB of the 90s. Better than Deion.
SS- Carnell Lake. Great blitzer.
SS- Troy Polamalu. If he keeps his level of play up for 6 or 7 more years, he'll be one of the best safeties ever.
Kicker- Gary Anderson. He didn't play here long, but he was probably the best kicker the Steelers have ever had. If Josh Reed keeps playing well I'd give it to him based on tenure with the team.
Punter- Josh Miller. He was a decent punter. Don't know why Cowher seemed to dislike him.
Source(s): Just off the top of my head. I can't quite be bothered to look for O-lineman and D-lineman (The Steelers aren't known for their D-lineman). - Quiet StormLv 51 decade ago
New Orleans Saints
QB - Archie Manning - Drew Brees almost got this spot, but I'll rethink my answer when he wins a Super Bowl. Manning was the face of the Saints for years
HB - Deuce McAllister - He surpassed Dalton Hilliard as the all-time leading rusher for the Saints and he is better than ever
FB - Craig "Ironhead" Heyward - ran with power, blocked with force, and had great hands out of the backfield
WR - Joe Horn - I'm gonna miss seeing him in Black & Gold. He is probably the best receiver in Saints history (Colston is gonna pass him eventually)
WR - Eric Martin - Horn broke most of his records, but he was great for Jim Mora's Saints
TE - Hoby Brenner - The one-time Pro Bowler was consistent for the Saints for 12 seasons
OL - Jim Dombrowski - Second best O-Lineman in Saints History
OL - Stan Brock - great blocker with a great mean streak
OL - William Roaf - Hall of Fame linemean first ballot
OL - Jake Kupp - A member of the inaugural 1967 squad, he was a solid blocker for 8 seasons
OL - Jamaal Brown - He has quietly become one of the NFL's best offensive tackles
DL - Wayne Martin - gave opposing QB's fits during his 11 years in black and gold
DL - Will Smith - This guy is a pure beast on the d-line
DL - Renaldo Turnbull - The "Tornado" was a disaster to quarterbacks
DL - La'Roi Glover - Glover was put on the map by the way he played as a Saint
LB - Sam Mills - underrated and undersized, Mills turned in one helluva career RIP
LB - Pat Swilling - the five-time Pro Bowler is second on the Saints in all time sacks with 107.5
LB - Rickey Jackson - All time leader in sacks with 123, the Saints have yet to find a LB that can blitz like him
DB - Dave Waymer - Saints all time leader in picks with 37
DB - Dave Whitsell - Recorded a league high 10 INT's in the inaugural year of 1967
DB - Sammy Knight - from undrafted college linebacker to All-Pro NFL strong safety
DB - Eric Allen - we had this great shutdown corner toward the end of his career, but he was still effective
K - Tom Dempsey - Still the NFL record holder for longest FG and he did this with a portion of his kicking foot missing
P - Tommy Barndhart - had great hang time wiht his punts
KR - Michael Lewis - the former beer truck driver emerged as an All-Pro kick returner
KR - Tyrone Hughes - Also an All-Pro kick returner for the Saints
ST - Steve Gleason - the special teams captain is a fearless gunner and an excellent leader on the special teams unit.

49ers
Jerry Rice best WR of all time
Joe Montana Mr. Big Time
Steve Young had a heart of gold and balls of steal
Ronnie Lott no other DB compares
Merton Hanks his chicken head was classic
Deion Sanders ripped everyone apart for one year
Bryant Young still the center of the D-line
Terrell Owens his attitude sucks but what a hell of a player in his prime.
Brent Jones premier TE of his time, made all the big plays
? Taylor- The catch
Ken Norton Jr amazing some amazing games for an undersized LB
Larry Allen one of the best OT of all time
I can't remember anyone elses names but all of the 94-95 defensive team beat up on everyone. Plus Frank Gore is one of the premier players of today and watch out for Alex Smith in the future, the next Troy Aikman in my view.
Go 49er's make the playoffs this year.

Why is it people like lists? In the mornings I hear Mike & Mike (ESPN radio) comparing lists and I think it is crazy.
No disrepect, but it is one thing to ask who is your favorite payer or team, but 22? The fact that someone will actually think of 22 names and rank them must mean their rotisserie league is slow today, or their mom is still cooking their chicken pot pie.
