Carolina 2002 thru 2010, Denver 2011 thru 2014, and Bears 2015 to present. This particular one being different in that this involves a HC who's still coaching. Pretty damn obvious who starts at QB! Steve Smith at WR quickly comes to mind as well. Anyone from these recent Bears, by chance, make the cut?

Who is next? All-time Walt Kiesling team?
No offense intended to a fellow Steelers' fan but there are plenty of other/better coaches to feature... and their careers aren't still active.

Yes, there's better HCs, but he has had a longer career than one thinks. Led two different teams to a SB, the first of those inheriting a 1-15 club, turning it to 8-8 his very first year, then coming extremely close to beating the Pats for all the marbles the year after. Yes, many gave that '03 Pats squad a good game, and that 1-15 Seifert-led Panthers campaign may have been a bit of an anomaly being they were 7-9 year before that; but still. He is from the School of Chuck Noll (starting out in '89) and DC'd an historically underrated '00 Giants' D (that year's Ravens, of course, hogging all notoriety). The jury's still out on his time now in Chicago; this season all-too critical. I'm guessing most players on this lineup will be Broncos.
In addition to waiting a bit to do another of these, I'll be sure to do a retired SB-winner next. Holmgren wouldn't be a bad one. Maybe Dungy too. Bill Cowher? Now that would be quite tough, especially for me to do. Would hate leaving some greats out of the lineup.

I'm waiting for the "All-Time Bum Phillips team", just to compare Stabler, Campbell, Merkens, Fritsch, Leon Gray et al, just to compare them in Houston and New Orleans.

I'm wondering how many Chiefs, Alouettes or Blitz would make the all-Marv Levy team. (seriously, not joking)

How about all-time Steagles team? All-time Card-Pitt team?

As a Redskin fan, I'm hoping to see an all-time Norv Turner starting line-up, or better still, one for Jim Zorn!
