Lou: Perhaps this list should be titled “Most Popular NFL Players in the Past 30 Years”

if that was the case, they would both be top 3.

Anyone who doesn’t include Joe Montana and Jerry Rice into their list of top 10 greatest NFL players, did not see them play in all 4/5 of their Superbowls. these guys were hands down the best when it counted. Perhaps this list should be titled “Most Popular NFL Players in the Past 30 Years”

Brady should be numbers 1-9 and then Wes Welkah.

Not RomanWarHelmet: Barry Sanders was told to do what you say Walter had to do.

I agree with Sparty, Emmitt was a product of the system he was in and Peyton was definitely better

I think that’s actually RomanWarHelmet trying to throw us off by using an alias.

sparty: you didn’t refute what i said about emmitt.

Walter also played for the Mid-80's Bears who had a monster line. Fuck..most of the great running backs of All-time did. I think Emmitt was better. I also don't think Emmitt is Top 10. But your idea that is it was Walter with no help is wrong. He played behind some major offensive lines as well. Barry Sanders was told to do what you say Walter had to do.

sparty: Hi, Emmitt, here is the greastest offensive line ever assembled. and just to keep defenses honest, we have jay novacek and michael irvin. don’t worry about being in a singleback formation, we also have one of the best blocking fullbacks in history to give you a hand.have at it.Walter, we have nobody to line up on the outside, go over the middle, or hell, we don’t even have a qb to make those passes.run the ball 25-30 times a game for us. the o-line isn’t horrible, but you should be okay on your own.

He also did this outside of some of your 30 year window. He is not a game changing innovator like most of the guys on that list are. Sorry. Not Top 10.

sparty: AYFKM?

No..he was a fucking snow plow... He was great but he was not a dynamic anything...he ran for a lot of yards and was the Bears offense during the late 70's early 80's but he wasn't better than Emmitt or Thurman Thomas

Walter Payton, I’m sorry to say is not a Top 10 player. Emmitt Smith was better in his prime and he is not Top 10 either.

OK… a few problems..Derrick Thomas belongs nowhere..NOWHERE near the Top 10. Walter Payton, I’m sorry to say is not a Top 10 player. Emmitt Smith was better in his prime and he is not Top 10 either. Reggie White is not the 8th best he is in the top 5. Barry Sanders is not the best but he and LT are so close, I’ll give it to you. Montana and Rice are missing. So is Rod Woodson, who you laugh at BUT was a great corner AND Safety. My list

1. LT
2. Sanders.
3. Reggie White
4. Rice
5. Elway
6. Deion
7. Moss
8. Montana
9. Rod Woodson
10. Peyton

Brady is close but he didn’t become a dominant force until late 2005.

crack: Moss is stupid good.Only player with 3 seasons where he had more TDs than team games played.(23,17,17).He holds the rookie record for receiving TDs (17) in a season and the record for receiving TDs (23) in a season.

and Jerry Rice pretty much holds every other receiving record their is.
