Top 10 NFL Mount Rushmores

Anakim : 10/18/2018 11:22 am
Saw this last night. Pretty interesting...but whoever that Flula Borg guy is needs to get his ass kicked. Holy hell.







Spoiler







They have the Jints at #10 with LT, Parcells, Eli, and Frank Gifford (it seemed to be between Gifford and Strahan).

49ers are #1 with Montana, Walsh, Ronnie Lott (don't think I'd have him over Steve Young) and Jerry Rice.

I think Wellington Mara

needs to be on the Giants somehow. Probably over Eli or Gifford. Roosy Brown has a strong case too.
Damn

Mt. Rushmore season is over!


Sorry, big Pardon My Take guy.
The Duke is the most important figure in the NFL

Transformed a sport that was as popular as bocce ball into the #1 most lucrative sports/entertainment franchise.

Great owner but also mainly responsible for the "15 years of lousy football". The Giants became a winning franchise again when he was told to stand aside for George Young.

Never helped the Giants. Him and his nephew had us in purgatory....actually hell...until the NFL came in and gave us George Young. He should be the NFLs Mount Rushmore. Maybe his father Tim should be on Giants Mount Rushmore as he ried like hell to get the sport popular then to make the Giants #1 in the NY market in the early days. Hell why is YA or Sam Huff on there? I just totally disagree that Wellington was somehow 'Great' for the Giants.

Came here for a comment like this!
Why does everyone forget Mel Hein?  
kinard : 10/18/2018 1:26 pm : link
Guy played 14 years for this organization, won two championships, was league MVP in 1938 and was an eight-time first team All Pro. Was one of the NFL Hall of Fame's inaugural inductees.

Can't have Giant's Mount Rushmore without Mel Hein. He's, essentially, our George Washington.
meaningless fun

but I don't see how the Raiders are above the Giants or the Colts
To me  
allstarjim : 10/18/2018 1:43 pm : link
It's Parcells, LT, Strahan, and Saquon. LOL

Kidding. Gifford Has to be on there, but Saquon will be there one day.

Strahan, come on. HOF'er, 2 Lombardi's, and he was the real leader of those teams. It's not to slight Eli, but to me Strahan was a better DE and defensive player than Eli was a QB. Eli is a borderline HOF'er, Strahan should've been first ballot.
Strahan

only has one Lombardi

Nor should the Patriots. It's really only Brady and Belichick. An amazing duo but a duo nonetheless.
crazy to not have Rodgers on the Packers Rushmore  
PaulBlakeTSU : 10/18/2018 1:55 pm : link
he's either the second best or best QB I've ever seen. Hutson was the most dominant WR of all-time for his era after Rice. Starr QB'd 5 championships. And then there's Lombardi and Favre. Rodgers is better than Favre, but Favre is so iconic.

Who do you take off, though?

I place Manning above Rodgers. Rodgers has the great wtf magician highlight plays, but Manning had the ability to take a collection of garbage players and turn them into a 13-3 team.
No way is

Steve young over Ronnie Lott, Lott is arguably the top safety of all time while Young doesn’t crack the top 10 of QB’s!

Rodgers has that same ability to *some* extent, but I agree nowhere near the level that Peyton did. The Colts had like the worst defense in the league every year and it was just expected that Peyton would have to score on every offensive drive. The year he was out injured proved how little talent that team really had. I also think that Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne, while certainly GOOD players, would never have been HOF players without Manning. Harrison is already in and I'm sure Wayne will be eventually as well. If Amani Toomer and Ike Hilliard had played for the Colts instead I'm almost positive it would be their names going into the HOF instead of Harrison and Wayne.
Right

When I say I have Rodgers as the 2nd best QB I've ever seen, it's because I have him behind Peyton. I never thought I'd see a better QB, but Rodgers is doing things that are just jaw-dropping. His skill set is incredible. I still think I have Peyton ahead of him, though.
