    Joe Namath might be the most overrated HOFer of all-time. He's in on the merits of one game (of which he accounted for 0 points). His career #'s are god-awful.

    Putting Alworth over Tomlinson. Wanna throw Stan Humphries and Tony Martin into the mix too? Fouts is definitely acceptable, though...had that Charger playoff gene though, like LDT
    I'd say all of LT's overexaggerated injuries (especially the sprain he milked on the bench while Rivers was playing on a torn ACL), pouting, and postseason disappearing acts (the ans game in '07 comes to mind) pretty much disqualify him from "greatest Charger ever" status, tbh... at least Alworth brought the only championship to date to the franchise, Seau got to the Super Bowl, and Fouts had some elite career stats and great playoff performances despite never winning the big one....

    I totally agree about Namath, another one is Lynn Swann, his stats totally pale in comparision to Raider Cliff Branch who isn't in the HOF.

    Having big Superbowl games without question what is going on there.

    The greatest Charger ever was Kellen Winslow.

    You'll talk a lot of QB's before ya get to Fouts, receivers before ya get to Alworth, backers before ya get to Seau and a lot of running backs before ya ge to Tomlinson, you won't go far talking TE's before ya get to Kellen Winslow.

    Yup. The 70's Steelers have a disproportionate amount of HOFers while the 70's Cowboys and 80's 49ers got hosed in comparison. Agreed on Cliff Branch too, who used to make the great Mel Blount his .

    LT should be up their skill-wise, although it may have all ended on a slightly sour note no denying that he's a top five Charger.

    Joe Horn is probably higher than Eric Martin on the Saints WR list, but Marquis Colston may be higher than both now and when its all said and done. Actually, Jimmy Graham could surpass him.

    But, I would put OT Willie Roaf and OLB Ricky Jackson behind Brees when it comes to all time Saints list.

    Yeah they had 4 Pro Bowl LBs at the same time. Elite defenses overall, but the secondary was average at best and not much of a passing game on offense. Those were the reasons they couldn't win in the playoffs. But Ricky Jackson did it all defensively. Excellent pass rusher, could stop the run and strong in pass coverage. Great player.

    While it's close Martin is the all time leading receivers for the Saints but Colston is right there. Joe Horn second but like I said, close.

    I think Horn has the most TDs and more Pro Bowls. Watching the two, Horn was better overall. Martin was more of a possession receiver. Horn could go deep and catch over the middle. Colston will end up having better numbers than both due to playing with Brees. But I think Graham will end up being the best. He's a monster and almost beat the Niners by himself in the playoffs two years ago. They had no one on the field who could cover him.

    Like I said, real close. Pretty sure you're right about the pro bowls.

    Colston will surpass all those numbers, soon.

    Graham has a long ways to go but he does have talent.
