Poor Mike Webster looks like he was rescued from a soup kitchen. And Jack Youngblood (one SB) over LC Greenwood? I know he played on a broken leg, but gimme a break.

Both great but… it’s Jack.
I love Roger but how do you pick him over Terry Bradshaw who beat him twice in head-to-head match-ups?
ReplyDeleteRodger Staubach easily had better numbers and Terry Bradshaw, the Steelers beat the Cowboys not Terry Bradshaw
DeleteThe Steelers beat the Cowboys, not Terry Bradshaw, throwback had much better numbers than Bradshaw in his career as well
ReplyDeleteI’m a Jets fan, but why Don Maynard who didn’t have a catch in SB. Sauer had 8.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great question. Madden's teams didn't always make sense. In 1985 he picked seven nose tackles for his All-Madden team. No idea why he picked Maynard . . . it is odd.
