Best active football player.

If you had to build a team from the scratch, who would you chose as your number one pick? For obvious reasons, I only included quarterbacks and running backs. Personally, I'd pick Priest Holmes. He's what Marshall Faulk was a few years ago, but with more running power.

 

[LakAttack]

McNair. Running backs are lucky if they last 5 years, but a QB might play 15. And I think McNair is the best in the business right now.

If I was to build a team today ... along with a good O-line, I'd start with Ricky Williams. He is a workhorse and a great physical specimen. With solid blockers in front he could rip teams apart. Of course, this is also assuming that I'd have a decent QB.

 

[Feldenak]

Favre for not only his physical ability but his team leadership.

A lot of McNair votes I see. One knock I have against him - he gets hurt a lot. While he seems to be doing a good job playing hurt, you certainly wouldn't want to see your quarterback constantly banged up.

 

[BlamoHammer]

Ray Lewis is the best player in football.

 

[TheAudit]

Keyshawn Johnson (in his own mind).

 

[jlarsson]

Michael Vick ... he's the youngest. He's insanely fast, got a good arm, and is an excellent quarterback to build a team around.

I want to agree with you but Favre is in his latter year of playing. If I woas going to build a keeper team from scratch Michael Vick is the best decision.

That is true...

I'd have to say McNair..but Favre is by far the greatest of all time, in that list.

 

[waylman]

Vick. If he had been playing this year, everyone would be saying vick.

I can't think of anyone else I'd want my rookie quarterback to learn from except maybe Mike Holmgren.

 

[wizardbud]

Whoever it is I can pretty much guarantee you THEY DON'T PLAY IN DENVER!

 

[PlatinumGold]

i voted for Manning tho it was tough call between manning and mcnair. i just think right now, mcnair has more around him and a better coach than manning does. dungie is pretty good but i don't think he is as good of a coach as fisher.

 

[murphy55d]

Priest Holmes or Ray Lewis... it's too close to call.

 

[MorphineChild]

I am a big Packer fan, but Favre is either on or off, and when he is off he is terrible. Ahman Green fumbles too much.

My vote has to go to Randy Moss, he is amazing!

 

[gflores]

I like Michael Vick, I think he has a lot of potential and he's definitely made a difference in Atlanta.

 

[fjorner]

Dude.

It's
PEYTON manning
RICKY Williams
BRETT Favre
MARSHALL Faulk
AHMAN Green

you got 3/8 right.

And McNair would get my vote among the 8... although 'best football player' is like 'best automobile'. There are many different kinds of automobiles, of different sizes and specialities.

 

[psualum]

Right now I'd have to go with McNair b/c he's at a great point in his career... he has grown to posess great leadership qualities. He's been to, and almost won a superbowl, and he got back to the conference championship again last year.

If it were a couple of years ago I would have said Brett Favre!

 

[TheNinja]

Without a doubt, I'd build my team around Peyton Manning. That guy is a mastermind on the football field. His team usually goes no huddle and he constantly makes the right calls at the line. He can recognize defenses and decide what he has to do against them.

Fixed. Excuse my grammar, I went to a public school
