Lets go back in time, shall we?

[scottyboy]

Here's the deal, just for fun, if you had a time machine and could bring one player out of retirement to have in his prime for your team's current roster, who would it be?

For me: LT

I'd probably find a CB also

Joe Montana... I would love to not have a ****** at quarterback.

Joe montana would instantly make the Vikings serious contenders

Len Dawson

[rainbeaukid2]

steve young

he was a great qb and he could also scramble which is a need with the niners great o-line

[saintsfan912]

How bout a unit that acted as a player. The Dome Patrol in New Orleans!

[Ravens1991]

Johnny Unitas.

[Paranoidmoonduck]

http://artfiles.art.com/images/-/Jack-Tatum---Fallen-Prey---Photofile-Photograph-C10108289.jpeg


For the place this team is at right now in the season, I have to choose Jack Tatum. The run defense is porous right now, and bringing a safety who was as strong at the point of attack as Tatum would go a long way towards helping that.

Also tempting was Marcus Allen in the ZBS.

[someone447]

Packers:

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/PHO/AAFX023~Barry-Sanders-On-Sidelines-Posters.jpg

That is exactly who I was gonna pick. He was used to running with no offensive line, so the packers wouldn't be any different, except that they can't put all 11 in the box like they did when sanders was playing on the lions.

[someone447]

Johnny Unitas.

As much as I love Johnn Unitas, he was like 5'9" 160 lbs, he would be killed in todays NFL.

[M.O.T.H.]

I'm with KillerSanta on this one...

http://i.a.cnn.net/si/2006/sioncampus/06/05/hot.not/deion.jpg

[21ST]

Reggie White no questions asked

[The Unseen]

Jimmy Smith in his prime.

[/obvious]

[fenikz]

No doubt I would bring Deion back

http://humor.beecy.net/celebrities/mug-shots/Deion-Sanders.jpg

[Ravens1991]

As much as I love Johnn Unitas, he was like 5'9" 160 lbs, he would be killed in todays NFL.

Dang I didnt know that, I will go Joe Montana then.

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

Maybe if we had Mean Joe Greene we could I dunno, actually stop the god damned run.

[B-Dawk]

Reggie White no questions asked

definitely agree

[thule]

Deion

http://www.theonion.com/content/files/images/Deion-Sanders-R.jpg

[Turtlepower]

How about Mr. Ronnie Lott

http://i.tsn.com/i/o/vault/superbowl/superbowl_19.jpg

[remix 6]

Junior Seau..wait nvm. he came back already :O

[skinzzfan25]

Probably Art Monk. If we had a solid possession, go to 3rd down type of guy in this offense with Santana and ARE....

Jason would be amazing.

Either him, or any Hogs member.

[The Unseen]

Oops, I thought this was someone who was on your team.

In that case, Jerry Rice in his prime.

[/obvious]

[BroadwayJoe10]

barry sanders, becuase as of now our oline isn't openin too many holes; barry sanders doesn't need holes. I was also contemplating bo jackson, but i wouldn't let him play baseball.

oh ya thats a badass mugshot of primetime, however the greatest mugshot ever is of old blue eyes. Only Sinatra could making getting arrested look so cool.

[nobodyinparticular]

As much as I love Johnn Unitas, he was like 5'9" 160 lbs, he would be killed in todays NFL.

He was actually 6'1". Taller than Brees.

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

Based on recent developments, Terrell Davis wouldn't be a bad choice either.

[Mr. Stiller]

Dermonti Dawson.. One of the best centers, if not the best center of all time.

[P-L]

Dermonti Dawson.. One of the best centers, if not the best center of all time.

You could have any player to ever play the game, and you chose Dermonti Dawson. I mean he was a center, seriously?

[draftguru151]

If I was gonna pick one guy I'd know how to spell his name that's for sure.

And Dan Marino, because I'm a homer.

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

And Trent Green has a concussion.

[someone447]

Wow, how was I so far off? I guess I just remembered his weight and figured he was short tool

[KILLERSANTA]

And Trent Green has a concussion.

And the sky is blue.

He is walking.

[KILLERSANTA]

That's not his leg.....

[d34ng3l021]

Dan Marino or Joe Montana.

no question its bo jackson!

If you were to say this is a homeristic statement . . . you would be correct.

packers draft sanders (Barry or Deion) im not to picky :)

[no love]

Well if we are taking any player in their prime, I take Steve Young. We need some instant offense and he could do it all.

If I were to take someone on D, LT. No question.

[Turtlepower]

Everyone should fear the greatest OLB ever...

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/touchstone_pictures/the_waterboy/adam_sandler/guide1.jpg


Bobby Boucher a.k.a. The Waterboy

[BlindSite]

Not many guys spring to mind for the Panthers to be realistic, the team's never been too hot, maybe Beuerlein but I don't think he was anything better than Delhomme is.

Wesley Walls?

Maybe the minister of defense?

[Caddy]

The Buc's sure could use one of these

I bet he could stop the run.

[Twiddler]

I think I would go with Jim Brown for the Packers. I'd just be interested to see how it would work out. And I would like to have an actual running game...

Did you watch a lot of Dermonti Dawson?

http://www.steelertribute.com/daws001.jpg

If I could have any player in his prime on the steelers, it would be Dermonti Dawson.

OR Rod Woodson.

http://www.steelertribute.com/WOODSO.GIF

Dawson was the only center I've seen that would never get manhandled, could pull, trap and get to the second level before the RB. Not to mention on a screen pass he'd be blocking.

The weakness in the Steelers OL is the Interior with Mahan. Dawson would instantly improve that. Amazingly improve it.


Woodson I don't need to explain.

I'd love LT but our OLB's are alright.

Rod was a beast but remember one thing, he was a Raven when he got his ring. ;)

http://images.usatoday.com/sports/preps/_photos/2001-12-26-allusa-inside-woodson2.jpg


All joking aside, Dawson was a great center but if you can bring back anyone at any position his position is way down on the list.

[ccB]

http://cowboys.beloblog.com/archives/unitas.jpg

QB Johnny Unitas for obvious reasons.

[Mr. Stiller]

He would've gotten one with the Steelers had he stayed.

But either way. I just feel that True, If you were to bring back a dynamic player, Center is one of the positions You'd bring back.

However, Dawson was a rare talent as a position that doesn't require athletes. With the state of the Steelers OL.. Faneca and Dawson on the interior would be impenetrable and would allow Willie Parker more space for between the tackles runs.

LT, Derrick Thomas. They'd Definitely be up there. Hell even Mean Joe Green as a 3-4 DE.

I just think we're set everywhere and it would be the "Biggest" upgrade to put Dawson over Mahan.

[MaxV]

Deacon Jones says Hi

http://www.trunkbunker.com/deaconjones.jpg

Well, I mean for the Colts.

Obviously, Jones in his prime would've been great for Indy also, but Reggie White would be AWESOME in the 1-gap system that the Colts run.

I considered LT also, but the Colts don't blitz very often and that may have been Taylor's best quality.

[HoopsDemon12]

From My team... Jim Kelly no contest.

http://www.classicbuffalo.com/images/JimKelly.jpg

From any team... i would have to go Jerry Rice

http://blog.wired.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/06/07/jerryrice_gif.jpg

[Dam8610]

Given any player in their prime, it'd have to be:

http://starbulletin.com/2001/02/03/sports/artc.jpg
Warren Sapp

Why? because I know he can succeed in the NFL today, and he's the prototype Tampa 2 UT.

I would choose:

http://64.17.171.58/images/page.jpg
Alan Page

But something tells me 245 pounds wouldn't work at UT in today's NFL.
