    Based on what we know now or based on what we knew in their drafts?

    Based on what we know now it's: Favre, Green, Peterson, Polamalu, Gonzalez, Kuechly, Mariota

    Based on what we knew at the time they were drafted it's: Mariota, Green, Peterson, Kuechly, Gonzalez, Polamalu, Favre

    That's order of accomplishment in the first list and order of where they were drafted in the second in the year they were drafted.

    Obviously Sanchez would have been the unanimous number 1. Gotta keep it fair for the other players

    Favre
    Green
    Peterson
    Gonzo
    Polamalu (great player, too many rules now benefiting offense... steelers are different in a way though. If the Jets have polamalu he's getting flagged anytime he hits a receiver... or running back... or tight end... god forbid a quarterback)
    Kuechly (career might be over on the next concussion, soft skull)
    Mariota (in the 2nd round, going to be a great interception passer over the course of his career)

    Favre is number one obviously. The non-QBs are all great players, and team need would factor into the order they're selected. Mariota shouldn't be on this list because none of us know how good he'll be in his prime.

    Of course you are correct.

    It's simply not a fair comparison.

    No other Jet QB has had as much suckcess as Sancho.

    He's biologically built for greatness.

    I think people are under rating Kuechly's greatness. Their defense is nearly always good to great since he's been in the league.

    That's why I'd like us to take a long look at Reuben Foster if his character checks out in the interview process, because I believe he just had a run in with the law.

    I also agree with you about Kuchley, he is excellent and makes that defense much better.

    Reuben Foster's Alabama teammates react to combine dismissal
    3 hours ago

    • An alleged run-in with a hospital employee has put an early end to Reuben Foster's combine experience. It shouldn't send his stock plummeting, but it's a strange situation regardless.
    INDIANAPOLIS — In a rather unprecedented turn of combine events, Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster was sent home early, following an alleged run-in with a hospital employee on Friday.


    Foster posted a video to Instagram on Saturday morning, in which he said, per al.com, “Nothing happened. ... Talk to Tim (Williams), talk to Ryan (Anderson), talk to Dalvin (Tomlinson). Them boys know. They were there.”

    Anderson would not go into many details, during his Saturday afternoon press conference, but he did say he felt “like it was blown out of proportion.”

    All combine participants are subject to extensive testing before they participate in the physical drills. That can involve each team’s doctors checking out a player, plus MRIs and X-rays at a local facility. The entire process can take up several hours, the exact length of time commitment linked to how concerned teams are over a player’s history.

    “Reuben’s one of those guys who’s hard-working, humble, respectful,” Tomlinson said. “I don’t know everything that happened over there at the hospital—I was still coming back and forth from X-rays, so I don’t really know what happened. I have to speak to Reuben later on today.”

    Tomlinson added that he would give Foster a call, “if I get an opportunity. I’m just going to ask him how he’s feeling, ask him everything that happened, check up on him and make sure he’s all good.”

    The next chance for Foster to be in the spotlight will be next Wednesday, at Alabama’s Pro Day. He still will not be able to work out, post-surgery, but he may meet the media after missing Saturday’s linebacker session in Indianapolis.

    “Very surprising, disappointing, but it happens,” said another of Foster’s ex-Alabama teammates, potential top-five pick Jonathan Allen.

    Foster, shoulder issue and all, entered the combine as the presumed top linebacker prospect and an early first-round option himself. Friday’s incident should not send his stock plummeting, if the initial reactions to it hold. But it’s an unusual situation, to say the least.
