Tebow, get out of here with that nonsense.

Seriously? Tebow?
What about Dawkins? Heck, I woulda rather seen another Cowboy or Giant on this list rather than Tebow.

This list makes no sense

Why is Tebow on the list? And why is he before Manning? Maybe its based on the past couple years, but then why is Urlacher above Willis? Why Hines Ward? And Chris Johnson gets an honorable mention? Seriously, it doesn’t make sense.

Its some BS

about who in todays NFL would play well back in the 1930’s. That is why its retarded.

We present our NFL Any Era Team, 20 players who would have thrived in the years before television helped make football a secular religion and the nation’s favorite pastime.

How’d they manage not to include a single TE or offensive lineman? Jeez.

Yea it’s pretty stupid I mean Darrelle Revis? Did they really have a need for shutdown corners in the Great Depression?

Including qb's is questionable

Brady is such a pussy that he gets rules changed for him.

Decon jones would put him in a coma with his trademark headslap.

Considering the average NFL player today is significantly bigger/faster/more athletic than the average 1930s NFL player or even the average player of the 70s and 80s, it’s not a particularly huge stretch to say that most of today’s NFL could thrive in any era. So this whole list is a giant fail.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.
