TheShrewdOne's Thievery - NFL Franchise Players Part Bills (Edited 08/10/08 11:18PM by theshrewdone)

Read the Article: NFL Franchise Players

ESPN is doing an interesting poll and since I'm not very original, I'm stealing it!

Essentially, they want to know who the best player from each particular franchise is...all time!

Again, as with all my "thievery polls", I did not decide who to put on the list...if you want to get angry, yell at ESPN...or me for stealing their poll.

Kelly, Thomas and Simpson were all close to the top of the list, but Bruce Smith is arguable the greatest ever at his position. None of the other guys can say that. Bruce Smith

I just think that the guy that touches the ball the most and is as good as Kelly was, deserves my vote. I said you could argue Bruce Smith. I wouldn't knock that vote. I wouldn't argue too much if you said Bruce Smith was the 2nd best player ever at his position (Reggie White). In fact I teetered between the two. Jim Kelly is my choice. He doesn't have to be yours. Jim Kelly

I, was generalizing for myself in giving my opinion. Let me clarify. I, not you, I, have to go with the QB. You, can go with whomever you, like. My opinion is not meant to to tell you who you have to pick as your greatest Buffalo Bill. You pick Bruce Smith. That's a fine choice. I, however, will go with the QB. I, once again, I, will go with Jim Kelly. I said that I think.. *Think..* "that you have to go with the QB"... My opinion... again.. You... *You...* "don't have to go with the QB".... They are both Hall of famers. You cannot be wrong either way. Especially when the decision is based solely on how important *you* feel that player was to the team. As good as that team was, and they were very good, as evidence by the 4 Superbowls in 4 years. I simply remember how good the offense was at that time. They made more of an impression on me. So by all means have your opinion, enjoy your opinion, stand by your opinion.. I certainly do all of the above for mine... Jim Kelly
