Fuck everything about that annoying shitbag Desmond Howard. Hearing him giggling after every damn thing that someone says is just unbearable.
-
No Corey Dillon on the list? shit poll
-
No Michael Vick. That panel should be ashamed of themselves.

That really is an unforgiveable omission.allpurpleallgold said:No Michael Vick. That panel should be ashamed of themselves.

- Only 4 PAC schools w/ guys in this list
- ? Our best guy is higher on the list than the Cane's best guy
- We ? have beat 13 of the guys on that list give or take -

There are several, and there are a bunch of dumb picks on the list.
Canes with one guy. Give me a fucking break. Joke ass list.
You will certainly get no argument from me on Walker. People have really forgotten how dominant and freaky that guy was. Watch the highlight of him just running over, straight over, Billy Bates and the Vols, who was a tuff ass player. Probably the best freshman year of any player at any position ever.
And some of these role player QBs ... Leinhart? Really? Top 50 players all positions since 1967? Tebow? Wuerffel? I mean, the list of players who kicked ass in a system is long - if you're going there, where is Ty Detmer or three or four other BYU QBs? Fucking stupid. Leinhart was surrounded by a fucking monster team ... think Gino Torretta.
And say what you will about LB ... alfuckingright, so you need the token tuff white guy from Ohio to make all the blue collar honkies happy, so fuck it, Speilman is a fine pick. but I watched a lot of OU during the 80s (can you guess why?), and for my money I will take a Jonathan Vilma over a juiced Bozwerth any day of the week. Watch what Vilma did to Nebraska in the Rose Bowel ... dude was a beast and eventually would have a one-year time out for being too tuff in the NFL. Those hits on the H back and the TE are fucking EPIC. I'd also take Cortez or Jerome Brown over Randy fucking White every fucking time. Again, we need to assuage the oldie timey white guys. Manster. What a fucking ghey nickname.
I don't know if you fuckers are joking, but I agree - no Vick is a sin. The guy was fucking incredible in college. Tebow and fucking Leinhart and Wuerffel? Come the fuck on. Jesus, was krisvashon an advisor on this thing? Oh wait - the whole list would be huskies. Nevermind. -
Tebow & Vick is abundance. Tebow hate is fun, but he was a great college QB. IDGAF about the NFL flameout. Sub Vick for Leinart.
-
No Ryan Leaf? Invalid pole
-
Agree. Guy belongs up there. But since he only played 1 season of Div 1 ball, many, except Pac 10 fans, probably forget about him.JaWarrenJaHooker said:No Corey Dillon on the list? shit poll

I'm with you on most of this including Wuerfell and Leinart not belonging but calling Tebow a system QB is ridiculous. No one before or since came close to doing what he did with that system. He's easily worthy of a top ten ranking.creepycoug said:

great player, but top 50? at that position? sorry, but there are just too many great RBs. We could be here all day with that position. Jerome Bettis, Edgerin James, Chuck Muncie, Emmit Smith, a shit load of dudes not named Early Campbell or Ricky Williams who played at Texas, Eric Dickerson, Billy Sims, Mike Rozier, etc. etc.uzi said:

And, for one-hit wonders, is there really anyone - other than Bo or Herschel - who is in the same zip code as Marcus Dupree? If you don't know about that guy, you need to spend 20 minutes doing a little research, and you'll see what I mean. -
LOL so we're considering Tebow just a running back now?creepycoug said:

STOp.
I get it you hate Florida and love Miami.
I hated him in college but Tebow was a fucking monster. -
The annoying thing about tebow was that everyone liked to act as if he was some underdog by the time he got to the NFL.
5 star recruit, 2 national championships, etc.
Like what? -
Didn't read it but if creepy thinks we need more Canes I would agreecreepycoug said:

Where's this guy on the list?
-
There are a lot of mother fuckers on this list I'd shitcan before Randy White. Too much recency bias on this list as is. But agree with most of the rest. Criminal that more Canes didn't make it. And the Vick exclusion was just dumb. Fuckign Danny Wuerffel? Jesus.creepycoug said:

Just sToP!!!!!!!!!! -
In addition to various anal fungul ailments, I also tend to suffer from mild recency bias. So admittedly, shit from the early 80s and onward tend to be ok with me, while shit before that I tend to NGAF about. This is why you don't ever find me talking about Ted Hendricks, Jim Otto, Jim Kelly, OJ Anderson, Chuck Foreman, Jim Burt, Ruben Carter, etc. Those guys and others played before I was old enough to care really.Swaye said:

But as long as we're really entertaining the old dudes, the Mad Stork is worth mentioning. Two-time consensus first team AA selections, a second team AA selection and a monster career in the NFL (even though that doesn't matter for this shit list) warrants consideration. He still holds various records for tackles and sacks among Miami D lineman, which includes a lot of good ones.
PS: I see what you did there [ghey wink wink from creepy] -
There aren't many QBs who can lead a much better team against a much less better team, dominate in yards on the ground, yards in the air. Play behind a defense that holds the other team FOR THE ENTIRE FUCKING GAME to 109 yds. on the ground and 53 yds. in the air, FOR THE ENTIRE FUCKING GAME, and stillYellowSnow said:Where's this guy on the list?
FIND A WAY TO HAND THE OTHER TEAM THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As much as I love Jimmy Johnson, I will never understand why, after Brian Blades got them inside the 10 yard line with plenty of time left, he put the game in the hands of the guy who had four picks and an overall terrible night and didn't give Highsmith one fucking carry. Unforgivable. They could not deal with Highsmith all night long, at 6.6 yds. per carry, and he doesn't see the ball once down inside the 10.
6.6 yds. per carry. 6.6. Not one carry for the game.
Fuck you for making me relive that you asshole. -
He was an underdog in the NFL because he didn't have NFL tools. It's really that simple. His release was slow and weird, he had Jake Brownlee-type arm strength and wasn't super good at reading defenses. People thought Denver was stupid to draft him, even toward the bottom of the first round.Pitchfork51 said:The annoying thing about tebow was that everyone liked to act as if he was some underdog by the time he got to the NFL.

Warren Sapp should be listed.
I was thinking Tim Brown, but his stats weren't all that great. It was a different era though.
Tripper Johnson probably deserved to be ranked somewhere in the 40's. He was a huge contributor on a team that had a perfect season. -
Gabe Marks?!?!?
