Pick your NFL Mt. Rushmore

[Miller]

So who's on YOUR NFL Mt. Rushmore? 4 names only; not other rules.

Mine:
Jerry Rice
Jim Brown
Vince Lombardi
Reggie White

Hard to leave a QB off the list, but for me I feel Lombardi deserves to be there....hell the SB trophy is named after the guy! Wanted to give it a defensive presence so White gets the nod. Brown goes on as one of the most dominant offensive players in history and same for Rice.

So there is mine, who's on yours?

 

[Escrow]

Vince Lombardi
Brett Favre
Jerry Rice
Walter Payton

 

[dukdown]

In my lifetime, it would be Joe Namath, O.J. Simpson, Joe Montana, and Brett Favre.

 

[Runnik's Hambones]

Joe Montana
Reggie White
Barry Sanders
Mike Singletary

 

[GBG]

Jerry Rice
Barry Sanders
Reggie White

One of the most prolific passers in NFL history. Why not?

 

[Da Bomb]

lots of other QB choices available, and about 30 of them have a ring around their finger.

 

[Da Bomb]

John Elway
Lawrence Taylor
Walter Payton
Bill Walsh

Given more time, it's possible I'd change any of these. Elway to me is the greatest QB in history, and I know that's plenty debatable. Payton I see on many lists already. Lawrence Taylor is one of the greatest defenders to ever play the game, and he quite literally changed the way the game is played on both sides of the ball. As for Bill Walsh, the same can be said for him, for his West Coach strategies, and for his hallmark coaching.

Since this is "my" Mt. Rushmore.

Tom Landry
Emmitt Smith
Troy Aikman
Jerry Rice

HA!! Threw you off with the last one huh?

And yet on those 30, the only one who deserves the honor of being on the same field as Marino is Elway.


Marino
Elway
Sanders
Rice

i didnt say there were 30 better or more deserving QBs. just that everyone agrees QB is the most important position on the field, and i dont see how you can pick the best player of all time at the most important position and then they never won a title. thats just me apparently.

 

[bodey24]

Joe Montana
Walter Payton
Lawrence Taylor
Vince Lombardi

 

[Bozz]

Wow let's see

Gale Sayers
Johnny Unitas
Joe Montana
Jerry Rice

 

[Mike]

Walter Payton
Jerry Rice
Dick Butkus
Bob Lilly

And I deleted/modified/redone this list multiple times, still not 100% satisfied with it. Might consider "night train" over Butkus, or Randy White over all of them.... eh.... leaving it as is.

So?

If we are talking rushmore, we are talking to me the greatest of all time.

Qb - to me is Marino. He was the most prolific passer of all time. Yes, he never won a title, neither did Sanders...but I don't see an issue being raised there.

Rb - Sanders. Yes Emmit has the all time total. Sanders easily could have topped him had he not retired. Sanders was a game changer, and literally was the detroit team. He deserves it.

Wr - Rice. The best Wr ever. No question.

HC - Lombardi, Walsh, I could think of quite a few here.
