If you could have one player?

[Guru]

Out of the following to start a team who would it be?

Barry Sanders
Jerry Rice
Lawrence Taylor
Dieon Sanders

(sigh, it's the offseason)

[JordanTaber]

Barry Sanders, of course.

[Splat]

Out of those players? LT easily.

[thebow305]

I voted for Primetime. Possibly the greatest athlete to ever play this game.

[mqtirishfan]

LT by a mile.

[Pat Sims 90]

I went with Deion because he makes a impact on Defense and Special Teams.

[Halsey]

Jerry Rice

I'd have the greatest WR of all time and he'd play significantly more years than the other players.

[vidae]

For me it's LT and it isn't all that close.

[BallerT1215]

Primetime.

Shutdown Corner and Dangerous Special Teams.

Can find a RB/WR/Pash Rusing LB much easier.

[BmoreBlackByrdz]

LT changed the way the game is played.

LT played on a different level than any other defensive player in NFL history. LT easily.

[K Train]

LT for sure for me

[General Zod]

Im lucky to be old enough to remember watching LT play. I still havent seen anyone play the position like he did. And he gets my vote.

This.

For those of us who got to see LT in his prime, this isn't even close. It's LT by a mile.

I voted for LT and it was an easy vote here.

But did you watch Derrick Thomas from about 1989-1994 or so?
He played the position like LT did.
DT was unfuqingbelievable getting after the QBs.
It's just that he was in Kansas City and not a great team.

DT reminds me of Dwight Freeney honestly. Or Freeney reminds me of DT, whichever you prefer. Both were terrors off the edge with their speed.

DT wasn't great vs the run (waits for KC fans to kill me) either. I loved DT though.

DT was a great player, but not on LTs level imo.

Taylor had zero regard for his body, and played that way on every snap. At the time there were QBs that openly admitted being scare to death of the man. The guy produced and played at a high level with every possible injury.

[JordanTaber]

I think I'd rather have Reggie White than L.T.

Color inside the lines, JT.

Reggie isn't on the list.

[Halsey]

It's sad that LT and Deion are getting all the votes. If you add Deions INTs to LTs sacks, you still have a number that is 20 short of the number of TDs Rice scored. It must be uncool to like Rice or something. Perhaps he should stop being such a nice guy to increase his street cred.

[boknows34]

Positional value hurts Barry and Rice here. The Lions of course had the choice between Barry and Deion in the '89 draft.

[49erNation85]

Dieon of course. Close second is Rice.

[Rob S]

This is LT and it's painfully obvious.

[robert pancake gallery]

i figured barry could use a confidence boost after all the criticism he's received around here lately

[CJSchneider]

Primetime or LT - flip a coin.
