Re: Best ever player to wear jerseys #0/#00 - #99
I am trying so hard to resist the urge to post my entire 1-99 I completed a few months ago.
BD Sullivan's partial list meshes pretty closely with mine. There's a few in the 70s I went a different way with. 74, 75, 77, 79.

As far as #75, I definitely considered Greene, but his 1975 neck injury ended up affecting him for the rest of his career. With Deacon, his sack numbers are always mysterious (outside of the compilers here), so he tends to get downgraded since he's not officially ranked--not to mention the fact that he played before the merger.ChrisBabcock wrote: BD Sullivan's partial list meshes pretty closely with mine.

Re: Best ever player to wear jerseys #0/#00 - #99
Is it wrong to elevate a FB over a RB, becasue I was thinking about Moose Johnston here. Then again, Davis was better than I remembered, going to three Pro Bowls and 1st team all-pro one year.48-Stephen Davis
