Well, I'm selling a box worth of HOFers on eBay, so I figured I'd reminisce a little bit. After a bunch of goofy math where I tried to figure out what'd be the easiest to re-acquire, football finished first. It's weird that it's easier to find a Gale Sayers RC at a given price than it is to find a prospect card. Selling a box of prospects is asking for trouble it seems.
Anyways, let's hear your top-10s. It doesn't have to be a career, but rather a list of guys that were the best at the absolute peak of their career. That's how a guy like Corey Dillon could sneak into the top-10.
Runningback
1. Barry Sanders
2. Jim Brown
3. Walter Payton
4. Ladainian Tomlinson
5. Gale Sayers
6. Marion Motley
7. Eric Dickerson
8. Earl Campbell
9. O.J. Simpson
10. Steve Van Buren
10b. Marshall Faulk
Quarterback...
1. Joe Montana
2. Johnny Unitas
3. Otto Graham
4. Tom Brady
5. Peyton Manning
6. Fran Tarkenton
7. Dan Marino
8. John Elway
9. Bart Starr
10. Roger Staubach
10b. Kurt Warner -- this pains me so much because I hate Kurt Warner, but based on peak performance, he's definitely here.
Wide Receiver / End
1. Randy Moss
2. Jerry Rice
3. Terrell Owens
4. Don Hutson
5. Larry Fitzgerald
6. Marvin Harrison
7. Lance Alworth
8. Steve Largent
9. Paul Warfield
10. Pete Pihos - I guess this is more of just a best football player who happened to play end or wr.
Middle Linebacker
1. Dick Butkus
2. Jack Lambert
3. Ray Lewis
4. Joe Schdmit
5. Ray Nitschke
6. Brian Urlacher
