SHULA is by far the most over rated coach in history. consider he couldnt win two championship games in baltimore when he had better talent. he did lose his first sb with miami, and then won two in a row with the players that the former coach brought in. when the team needed rebuilding, he couldnt do it, and the dolphins were mediocre. the killer b’s had it going for a few years, losing another super bowl with david woodley to riggins and the skins. shula got lucky when marino came to miami, no skill, only luck no one wanted marino. of course marino never had a running game or defense, shula allowed marino to win by himself, and padded shulas win record. for 17 years marino had to pass the ball when everyone knew the pass was coming, yet couldnt stop it. the defense was horrid, and shula had his buddy olivadotti as dc. he was awful, but shula has the record thanks to george wilsons guys in the 70′s, and with marino later. shula is hugely overrated and im a dolphins fan since 72 so i know

alright, decent list..but there are a few kinks.
QBs (not in order)
Peyton Manning, several all time records and still has a 6-8 good years left
Marino, pure skill and made up the 70s Dolphins
Steve Young, stepped in and did what Montana did, without all the weapons

RBs
#1 Jim Brown (given the benefit of the doubt on his would be tacklers of his time) no1 ran with the kind of power and explosiveness he did (not including Bo Jackson)
#2 Sweetness..revolutionized the way the HB position was played and had everything a football player needs to succeed
#3 Barry Sander, who else has had those kind of stats in as few years as he played, and he wasn’t even on that great of a team

TEs
#1 Mike Ditka overall powerhouse and pretty much made tacklers his bitches, no other TE blocked like him either
#2 Kellen Winslow a very well balance TE with skills beyond his time
(Soon to be) #3 Dallas Clark. Probably has the most impact on his team than any other TE ever did and is “remodeling” the way TE is played

WRs
#1 Jerry Rice hands down, look at the numbers and his effect on the team
#2 Marvin Harrison. the last 2 years hurt his resume but other than that a phenominal player that made Peyton Manning who he is today
#3 Randy Moss biggest deep threat in history, 23 TDs in 1 year..crazy

OL not sure

DL
#1 Deacon Jones no doubt. Just a mean son of a bitch that could prolly still rip a QBs head off
#2 Reggie White 21 sacks in a season, NFL record of 1.75 sacks a game and 198 sacks in a career
#3 Bob Lilly 11 career pro bowls, durable player starting 196 consecutive regular season games

LBs are spot on

Mostly agree with DBs other than Deon maybe..

Coaches
#1 Shula
#2 Dungy/Belichik/Lombardi

Teams
#1 Late 80s’-mid 90s’ 49ers
#2 85′ Bears
#3 72′ Dolphins

My personal opinion
I don’t consider Super Bowls, because thats not completely individual
