    AJ has it on the money, except I think one day we'll have to start considering Ladanian Tomlinsin for the catagory of best RB ever. Maybe not now. We have to see how the rest of his career shapes up, but in my opinion, if he keeps going the way he has been, he's going to be in the discussion. We'll just have to see if he's going to be better than Peyton or Sanders.

    As for Quarterback, Dan Marino, and possibly,depending on where his career leads him, Peyton Manning. I'd also throw in a nod for Joe Montana.

    Wide Reciever is a no-brainer. Jerry Rice, hands-down.

    I'm not too sure about the rest. There aren't too many all-time great shutdown Defensive Backs, and there are a ton of great linebackers and linemen over past 2 or 3 decades.

    Kicker....either Morten Anderson or Tom Dempsey.

    Punters, I have no idea about.
