If you're only doing our team from the last 13 years or so I would find a place for CJ2K among the top 10 players. He accOmplished something only 6 other backs in history have done.

 

The last spot was a tough one. CJ has a case, and I also highly considered Brad Hopkins, cause he was a very, very good LT for a very long time, though never really a "dominant/elite" one. Carter was dominant though. I guess you could put CJ there and I wouldn't have an issue with it, but I think Carter is deserving as well.

Some of these lists are epic being that some franchises have such long, deep traditions. Other lists, like the Bucs, are going to be filled with players most of us remember seeing live.

 

If the Bucs had someone other than Culverhouse owning the team for a long time, maybe we would've had a deeper history. Doug Williams would likely easily be in all of our top tens. The only true great player we had before the days of red and pewter was Selmon. I'm pumped to see how some of our young guys now will fit into this one day. If Freeman continues what he did last year he will be on the list in no time.

 

I'm thinking Gramatica should be on the list of all time Bucs...not showing love to kickers

 

I don't see where Gramatica fits into the top ten. Maybe top tweny if you want to go deeper.

[Krawnka 282]

What about Eric Rhett? I thought he was pretty good, back in the day...or Keyshawn Johnson?

I'd put Mark Carrier in my top ten before Keyshawn, but I didn't go with either. I think every other Buc fan went with Carrier in their top 10.

 

This site called profootballreference has something they call Career Approximate Value, it is based on production and longjevity with a team. Here is the Bucs' top ten based on their formula.

 

1.Derrick Brooks

2.Ronde Barber

3.Warren Sapp

4.Lee Roy Selmon

5.John Lynch

6.Paul Gruber

7.Hardy Nickrson

8.James Wilder

9.Shelton Quarles

10.Simeon Rice

[Krawnka 282]

I'm not sure why you Titan's fans left off Earl Campbell, is it because it's when they were the Oilers? That guy is a legend.

 

Oh yeah, and Warren Moon

Like I said in my post, I wasn't counting pure Oilers.

 

If I were counting pure Oilers, there would be people like Campbell, Moon, Houston, Munchak, Brazile, etc, etc, etc.

 

As a matter of fact, I'm not sure any pure Titan would make the top 10 list..lemme attempt one with Oilers included:

 

1. Bruce Matthews

2. Earl Campbell

3. Mike Munchak

4. Ken Houston

5. Elvin Bethea

6. Robert Brazile

7. Steve McNair

8. Warren Moon

9. George Blanda

10. Eddie George? Kinda stumped here, can't think of too many outside of George who would be worthy of this spot.

 

Unless you count McNair and George as pure Titans, though both were Houston Oilers are one point, there are no pure Titans on the list.

Gramatica being the all time leading scorer and the streak of dominance he had with us definitely warrants top 10 consideration.

I think Bryant Young is deserving of a spot in the top 10. That guy was soooooooo dominant for such a long time. A very, very, VERY underrated DT.

Oh iight i was like whatttt for your first list. But besides Eddie you have Derrick Mason, or Bulluck. Bulluck was a top LB for a while before he got hurt.

[.AirMcNair. 1,232]

Derrick Mason I really, really like, but he played so long for the Ravens and now for the Jets it just seems like it'd be wrong to have him on the list, lol.

 

I'm probably Bulluck's biggest fan in history, but I don't think he meant as much to the franchise as Eddie George did.

Mcnair did for a couple years too but hes on the list.

 

Prob not for Bulluck but he could be placed there. Id stay with Eddie im just saying those two were only other options imo.

[.AirMcNair. 1,232]

Yes, but McNair's prime years were here, and he was only in Baltimore 2 years, and the 2nd year he really didn't even play. Only had like 4 games or some shit he played in.

 

Mason spent 6 seasons in Baltimore and now is on a 2 year deal with New York. I just can't consider him a true Titan anymore, as much as I appreciate his play.

 

Eddie George, on top of his fantastic career, did something very few people give him props for, and that was allowing McNair to develop at his own pace. The reason Eddie hit the wall so suddenly like he did was because of how much we over worked him waiting for McNair to reach his full potential.

 

If McNair and Eddie had actually gotten to play together in their primes, we'd probably have a superbowl.

I feel u on Mason but Mcnair and him were our passing offense. Im just saying. Yeah we used Eddie up quickly. Talk about a workhorse, but he played his guts out i think thats what sets him from most Titans. The stiff arm on Lewis with a seperated shoulder.... IRONMAN.

[Zack_of_Steel+ 3,014]

So you just double it... <_<

 

What do you want from me? You freaking cut that down to just 10, man. I could have put 30 players up there.

[BoneKrusher+ 1,276]

That's an impressive list man.

it's no wonder the Steelers have won all those Super Bowls.
