If you ask who's the greatest RB in the NFL, the first 3 names you will most likely hear are:
Barry Sanders yards 15,269 rushing (3rd), TDs 99
Walter Payton yards 16,726 rushing(2nd), TDs 110 (4th)
Emmitt Smith yards 18,355 rushing (1st) , TDs 164 (1st)
If I ask you who's the greatest WR in the NFL, the first 3 names you will most likely hear are:
Jerry Rice yards 22,895 (1st) receiving TDs 197 (1st)
Terrell Owens yards 15,934 (2nd) receiving TDs 153 (3rd)
Larry Fitzgerald * yards 15,721 (3rd) , receiving TDs 110 (8th)
Randy Moss yards 15,292 (4th), receiving TDs 156 (2nd)
But when you ask who's the greatest QB in the NFL, you hear:
Brady* yards 67,418 (4th), Passing TDs 500(3rd), Completion % 64 (12th)
Manning yards 71,940(2nd), Passing TDs 539 (1st), Completion % 65.3 (5th)
Montana yards 40,551 (18th), Passing TDs 273 (16th), Completion % 63.2 (15th)
Elway yards 51,478 (9th), Passing TDs 300 (11), Completion % 56.9 (90th)
Favre yards 71,838 (3rd), Passing TDs 508 (2nd), Completion % 62 (26th)
Rodgers* yards 40,074 (20th), Passing TDs 323 (10th), Completion % 65 (7th)
*Still playing
Drew Brees yards 72,103 (1st) Passing TDs 499 (4th), Completion % 67.2 (1st)
By the time Brees finishes, he more than likely will hold first place in all of these categories. In what other sport can you finish `1st in every salient stat for your position and NOT be considered Top 5, if not the greatest?
Yet all of these analysts INSIST that he is not top 5. I thought sports was supposed to be the last bastion of dispassionate and logical thinking.
