NFL Regular Season 2018 - Page 100 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

You can pick one non-QB from history to start a franchise. You can also assume his career will be very similar to the historical player's career. IE - he'll still be dominant. Sadly, he will be lost in a tragic blimp accident in year 10. So you don't get any benefit from guys who had massively long careers vs. shorter HOF careers.

Who do you pick? Jerry Rice? Lawrence Taylor? Jim Brown? Other?

Reggie White

Deion? Green? Bailey?

Champ had 12 pro bowls. Green was in the league 20 seasons. Deion barely gets there window wise at 10 but he only played 16 games 3 times. 5 dominant seasons for Deion I'd say?

Also came up with like Charles Woodson/Rod Woodson/Ed Reed. maybe Polamalu but yeah I don't see any of them going after say LT in today's game.

Win division if Balt doesn't beat both SD/TB, Pit loses out (or ties once and loses the other two, I'm not going into "what if everything else was a darn tie crap") and they win out.

Alternatively get the 6 seed if they win out and nobody gets to 9-7 other than AFCN champ. (in other words a bunch of ****ty NFC teams win this week)

With Champ I'm just not sure how many of those probowls were just name recognition. I'm sure he was quite good for his 1st 10 seasons, but was he "never throw at" good, the whole time? I just don't remember.

Rod Woodson was a better player than Deion

I think LT is the correct answer but Ed Reed and Randy Moss are picks I'd be open to hearing arguments about instead.

Left tackle (assume rh qb) or De is the right choice. With that said I’m going with my favorite player ever and when he was on his game I believe the biggest difference maker, Randy Moss
