This was mentioned in another thread. I think this merits a separate thread.
Edit- I will not create my own team.

Hall of Famers should be excluded from this list, I would think.
WR - Sterling Sharpe
RB - Billy Sims

I vote Terrell Davis and Sterling Sharpe for starting halfback and wide receiver. Quarterback maybe Neil Lomax? By the way, that guy took a lot of sacks. Did the Cardinals have that bad of an offensive line or did Lomax hold on to the ball too long? Or was it a mix of both?

Both, but he did hold ball too long, Louis Sharpe was good, but others, not so much...so a bit of both

Which is odd since they sure had coaches that could coach up O-line's during Lomax's career. Lack of talent didn't help but still odd, considering.

Jamaal Anderson for the other running back?

Tom Sestak for one of the DT positions.

Two running backs to consider-one was already mentioned in the other thread (Alan Ameche), while an inability to come back from a bad knee injury ended Ernie Green's career with the Browns.

Lots of interesting choices at RB...William Andrews had a huge year in 1983 then got hurt in 1984 and wasn't ever the same. Joe Delaney deserves a mention, too. For FB, I'd submit Bobby Anderson of the Broncos.
