Jerry Rice is just a genetic freak. How do u make 2 All decade teams

 

Good stuff Ry,

I find it hard to believe Leroy Butler is the SS of choice over Ronnie Lott tho,

 

[nycknicks105]

That RB list is laughable.

The WR list could use some work. IDK if I would take TO over Moss though. Those years with the Raiders probably hurt him in the votes.

[1stand15th]

I would've went with Manning at QB and Moss at WR, but I really don't have a problem with any of the selections.

 

[chester the cheetah]

What in the hell does Tom Brady do at the QB position that Peyton Manning doesn't? Before people say "LOL WIN SOOPER BULZ" remember that Peyton has won a Super Bowl more recently than Tom, is going to yet another this year, and won 4 MVPs... we won't even bring the stats up. 

What a joke. Terry Bradshaw > Dan Marino, John Elway, Steve Young, etc...

   That's the basic philosophy of this stance.  I bring that up in every arguement that I have in which people attempt to point to Brady's rings as a check mate to why he's better than Peyton.  Not to slight Tom, but thats pretty damn sad actually.

It's still the same reasoning (not saying i technically agree with it). Playoff success.

Brady played in 4 SBs, won 3. He won 2 SB MVPs.
Manning struggled for the first half of the decade to advance. Before this season he still was 7-8 all time in playoffs with 22 TDs and 17 INTs. (Brady was 14-3 with 26 TDs and 12 INTs).

I'm not saying I necessarily agree with it. But I see their reasoning to put one guy over the other.

Whenever it comes to arguments like these (Kobe vs. Lebron, Manning vs. Brady, etc) you aren't going to get consensus. Both players are beasts. In this voting Brady won 45-44. It was not a slam dunk.

 

[dmxfury]

4 time MVP wasn't selected? Hm...Tom is awesome and should've been 2, but I don't see how he gets the nod here

nice to see Ben get 6 points, nice job!

Another stat they like to use is "Brady owns Peyton" when recently...

[Retroballer]

I would love to see a game between all those came in 1st and those who came in 2nd

 

[nnarum]

TO

Moss was way better.

 

[kalamazoo52]

Moss must have really rubbed some ppl the wrong way before NE if just took 2nd to TO

Tom Terrific

 

[mpire]

Owens over Moss is completely justified. Glad they got this right.

I hate Brady with a passion but that's accurate too. Props to them
