It’s Hard to argue about the QBs. Since Brady came on the scene it was always between Peyton and Tom as to who is the best QB. Occasionally a third name would surface, bottom line, everyone knew it was these 2. I like Brady better.
I have a problem with the Running Backs. LaDainian of course, and the Edge is cool. Jamal Lewis has had a good enough career to be considered, But his 2,000 yard season is what gets him in. For some reason I don’t like Shaun Alexander. Clinton Portis has more career rushing yards and has played 2 less seasons. Fred Taylor came into the league in 98, but he has had a good run through the 2000’s.
Everything else seems to be pretty right on.
