For what?
The best sports bettors: anyone who bets the opposite of Avante's picks
How about just you vs me this season, ya got balls or bb's?
Intimidating safety duo: George Atkinson and Jack Tatum
I totally agree. I'll add them.
Would you believe as a kid Tatum would have his lunch money taken from him on his way to school, hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

The raiders also hav arguaby the best CB duo with mike Haynes and Lester Hayes. Best left side of a line with s /upshaw. Best punter.
Devin Hester is the best special teams ace (gale Sayers and Deion could also be argued)
best left handed qb: Steve young
this is just such an odd place for one to want to discuss anything and everything football ad nauseum. isn't there like a football-geeks.com forum? why Spurstalk of all places?
sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere
As I've explained before, nobody bets with a known welcher
You should have taken the bet with Harlem's dog when you had the chance, but you knew full well you were going to lose (and welch, again)
I'm racking my brain trying to think of a better CB duo..hmmm?
Can make a case for Belitnikoff and Branch in the WR duo thing also. Without question the classic...speed with possesion...combo.
Once again you totally got it wrong, wow! I challenged Harlem, like you he's a coward.
Why not do what I do, stay out of threads that don't interest you, works for me.
Hester is the best, will add him.
Otto, S and Upshaw as good as it got.
Even as a homer id be hard pressed to take branch/Fred over moss/Carter. The Vikings version of randy moss is probably the best WR of all time not named Jerry rice
I am interested, in an answer to my question
Tight ends.. Tony Gonzalez/kellen winslow
Pass rush combo: Merlin Olsen and deacon jones
It;s a real shame Branch isn't in the HOF his stats are superior to a lot of them in the Hall.
He just missed making the 72 Olympic team, he came in fifth in the trials.
Can't ignore John Mackey he's the one who changed the TE position.
Merlin Olsen was a defensive tackle.
Deacon Jones was a sprinter in college, yes a lot lighter.
Branch is much better than Lynn Swann... Too bad he doesn't have a famous slow motion diving juggling catch which he shouldn't have juggled in the first place.
Tim brown and cliff branch both need inductions. Brown put up top 5 numbers all time despite playing a majority of his career with terrible quarterbacks. Marinovich, shroeder, Jeff George, hostetler, until he finally had a chance to play with a good qb in rich gannon. Imagine if the rice-brown duo had come together 10 years earlier than it did
Yes, yes, yes and yes.
Rice and Brown, both in their prime, whoa!
One could argue that don Hutson is the most statistically dominant receiver in nfl history
There has never been a player as dominate at their position in their era than Don Hutson. He was on a whole other level than wide receivers in his time.
His 1942 season with 74 catchs 1211 yards and 17 tds totally off the charts.
His career stats are triple anyone else from that era.
A 9.8 sprinter while at Alabama, at that time the WR 9.4.
... classic.
