There's an interesting vote going on SportsNation about who is each team's greatest player ever. I'm including the Saints link (don't know why I'm being so nice) but you can go to each team from there

Big Will is one of the Saints nominees and he's doing pretty well, but it's hard to vote against Archie.
Vote for Willie! If we can win the +/- game we can win for Willie!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, Bobby Hebert is second, what is the point of even voting in a poll if a guy like him is 2nd?Originally Posted by Dawgmatic
Where is Champ110 when I need him? This is going to be announced on ESPN.COM on August 18. Now do you people want it to be a Tech man or Archie Manning???????????? VOTE for WILLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do not forget Fred Dean with the Chargers
The Colts have P. Manning ahead of Johnny U.
No way! not even close. Manning is good, of course, but in the context of all-time greats, there is none better than Johnny Unitas!
Goofy fans.
Vote for Ravens - Matt Stover (getting creamed by Ray Lewis)
Steelers - Blonde Bomber (in a landslide)
Chargers - Fred Dean
Saints - Big Willie
There are a lot of youth/history battles that are going youth. Favre over Starr, Emmitt over Staubach, Manning over Unitas. Some may even be right, but it's likely it has a lot to do with people not knowing history well.
Sounds like we've got a chance for 2 out of 4 to win this here. Of course Stover probably won't win and Fred Dean has a tough time especially with the likes of LT and Seau fresh on people's minds
You're correct sir, even though Emmitt's running away with his....but nowhere near like the Lions
I voted for all four Tech guys. Kind of thought I might see Pat Tilley with the Cardinals, but he wasn't there...also no Mike Barber for the Rams.
If you are interested in Grambling players, Doug Williams is listed with the Bucs and Buck Buchanan with the Chiefs. Buck Buchanan only getting 1.5% of the vote is a great example of people not knowing their history. I have no argument against Derrick Thomas being number one, because he was awesome, but Buchanan being that low is ridiculous.
That poll is Bo-oh-oh-gus! It has Hebert in the lead with 44%. Just another example of the battle we fight with South Louisiana for everything from dollars for Tech to new industry and the advantage they have because cajuns think birth control means Yvonne can hold in a baby bred in March until the end of duck season.
I liked Hebert, but he shouldn't even be on that list. He was a personable, above average quarterback, but nothing more than that.
For that matter, Dalton Hilliard and Danny Abramowiczshouldn't be there either.
I was a homer and voted for Roaf, but I think Rickey Jackson should be the winner.
Looking at the Steelers, 9 of the 10 players listed played in the 1970's. No wonder they dominated that era!
But aren't WE also falling into the same trap in making this basically a popularity/homer contest by voting only for 'Dawgs?? I have no issues against Terry for Pittsburgh but personally I'll vote for Morten Anderson over Willie for the Saints. Flame away!!!
