Historically speaking, which position for which teams, is associated with greatness

[FSUViking]

QUARTERBACK
3.

(Unitas, Manning)

2.

(Montana, Young)

1.

(Starr, Favre, Rodgers)

My .02 Thought long & hard about putting Dallas in here with Staubach & Aikman.....went with Green Bay because they have three Super Bowl winning QB's even though I think when people think QB I believe the 49ers or Cowboys are the first to come to mind.

RUNNING BACKS
3.

(Dickerson, Faulk)

2.

(Dorsett, Smith)

1.

(Nagurski, Sayers, Payton, Anderson)

My .02 Could flip-flop Dallas & Chicago pretty easily, IMO....Neal Anderson was a very underrated, often forgotten RB....I think if Bo Jackson never got injured, the Raiders would be in the discussion too


TIGHT ENDS
3.

(Winslow, Gates)

2.

(Ditka, Novachek, Witten)

1.

(Barry, Mackey, Clark)

My .02 This one was so hard....TE's have only really become prominent in the last 20 years or so


WIDE RECEIVERS
3.

(Swan, Stallworth, Ward)

2.

(Hayes, Irvin, Harper, Owens)

1.

(Rice, Taylor, Owens)

My .02 Another hard one.....I don't really think one team screams WR-greatness over another since the position is so easily replaceable....


OFFENSIVE LINE
3.

(Munchek, Matthews)

2.

(Yary, Zimmerman, McDaniel, Hutchinson)

1.

(Otto, Upshaw, Shell)

My .02 Another really tough one. But unlike with WRs/TEs, it wasn't because of too few....but rather too many. Miami? Green Bay? The Redskins?.....can't believe the Hogs only have ONE guy in the HoF....Raiders & Vikings have the most lineman in the HoF and if Hutch makes it in, I think the Vikings jump to #1


DEFENSIVE LINEMAN
3.

(Olsen, Youngblood, Jones)

2.

(Atkins, Hampton, McMicheal, Dent)

1.

(Eller, Page, Marshall, Doleman, Millard, Randle, Williams, Allen)

My .02 Other then the Steelers @ LB, I think the Vikings at DL is the easiest no brainer. Every decade since the 70's, the Vikings have had a dominating pass rusher on the DL. And they have more them in the HoF than anybody else.....1989 Chris Doleman had 21 sacks and Keith Millard had 19. Talk about nightmares for opposing QBs.......like the PPE's, the Fearsome Foursome has nearly every member in the HoF and the Bears having Doug Atkins in is the only reason i put the Bears ahead of the Rams....Packers & Cowboys also got some consideration...same with Philly


LINEBACKERS
3.

(Huff, Taylor, Carson)

2.

(Butkus, Singletary, Wilson, Marshall, Urlacher)

1.

(Ham, Lambert, Greene, Lloyd, Brown, Gildon, Kirkland, Porter, Farrior, Harrison)

My .02 Duh, right?.....if we go by specific position, Bears MLB is one of the most prestigious positions in all of sports....The Chiefs barely miss the cut....Bobby Bell, Willie Lanier, Derrick Thomas....Patriots too with Andre Tippett, Nick Bouniconti, Bruschi, McGinnest.....


DEFENSIVE BACKS
3.

(Renfro, Walls, Sanders)

2.

(Haynes, Tatum, Brown, Woodson)

1.

(Lane, Barney, LeBeau)

My .02 Yeah, that's right....the LIONS. What of it?......Eagles have had some real good ones, too....49ers & Vikings.....the Browns had maybe the greatest duo of all-time in Minnifield and Dixon....
