	Out of curiosity, what makes your father an NFL authority? Also, posting a quiz opens it up to criticism, regardless of what you say. And with that being said, how can one justify including Beanie Wells (a rookie) & Wes Welker on this list, and not include Jerry Rice & Jim Brown, two players widely considered among the best football players of all time? I am a Patriots fan, but no way does Wes Welker belong on a list of all time greats, especially over the many Hall of Famers not on the list.

	who are you to say that criticisms of this list is incorrect. as it was said above me, you father is stupid for making such a list. you are telling me that wes welker is better than jerry rice and that beanie wells is among the top 22 players of all time when he hasnt even played a full season yet. please tell me what type of NFL authority you father is and who the dumbasses are that respect his knowledge of the sport.

	and your dad tells them that beanie wells is one of the best players of all time?

	oh and what is the pop. of the town, about 2?

	gmen10:	Jan 3rd, 2010 at 19:25 GMT		10 points
	that doesnt make him an NFL authority you idiot. you are the only one who has embarrassed yourself here. go run along and tell your father he is an idiot just as much as you are.

	They should make a new section of Sporcle quizzes for Humor and put this one in it.

	mmcintosh87:	Jan 3rd, 2010 at 19:29 GMT		9 points
	Humor implies that its funny though, this is just plain dumb

	Theosaurus:	Jan 3rd, 2010 at 19:40 GMT		11 points
	Why should any of us feel small or be embarrassed? I have nothing against your father, his opinion, or Rowlett, Texas, but editing the football section of a paper does not make him an expert on football. Otherwise, he would know that a rookie wouldn't be considered one of the top football players of all time. I'm sure we all have our opinions on who should be in the top 22 (in this case). But I'd like to think that most reasonably knowledgable football fan would know Beanie Wells and Wes Welker don't belong anywhere near this list. Also, uncle_sams_beard, your arrongance is quite annoying. And what the heck does "ask him about his chowder" mean? Your dad is welcome to his opinion, just realize that his opinion is just that, an opinion, and not a set in stone list of greatness.

	seriously. Beanie Wells has played 16 games, I would pick Adrian Peterson over him. but I still wouldn't put Peterson on this list. In terms of Running Backs, Emmitt Smith maybe

	gmen10:	Jan 5th, 2010 at 00:09 GMT		8 points
	i love how he wont comment anymore because he realized that we arent going to just agree with his dad's retarded list.

	dwade3:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 21:54 GMT		5 points
	beanie wells? after 1 season. I really have to disagree. Is this really your dad's list or are you just making up an excuse so you can share your opinions and fantasys

	guys come on, he's just some dumb hillbilly from texas, living on a ranch. You think he had cable t.v. when jerry rice played?

	jeps:	Apr 22nd, 2010 at 02:34 GMT		8 points
	I looked up the rowlett lakeshore times sports section, didnt see a single article not about the rowlett eagles high school team. THAT MIGHT BE WHY!

	Tavel:	Apr 25th, 2010 at 00:07 GMT		4 points
	Beanie wells is a rookie who if he retired wouldnt even be close to the hall of fame

	Eric92:	Apr 25th, 2010 at 18:01 GMT		4 points
	BEANIE WELLS LMFAO. whos next ryan leaf?

	hawksdd:	Apr 27th, 2010 at 18:08 GMT		4 points
	I can understand that your pop might think that eventually welker and wells might make it on a list of the top players of all time, but to put them on that list now is just outrageous. And to leave out jim brown and emmitt smith to put in beanie wells makes no sense, even though I am a huge OSU fan and I love beanie wells.

	Morgunov:	Apr 28th, 2010 at 00:34 GMT		1 point
	I'm sorry, but you aren't even remotely close to NFL's best. Notable players (in ANY order) include Namath, Staubach, Young, Payton, Brown, Lambert, Smith, Simpson, Rice...I mean come on kid, I really could go all day. Csonka, Griese, Starr, Hornung, Greene...under no circumstances should any active players be listed as some of the greatest players in NFL history. I mean seriously, you're saying that players that have played less than a decade are ranking better than nearly all of the players that have played in the last 90 years.

	Omfgthis is the dumbest thing i have ever read, your father is a retard and so are you.

	did beanie wells make this list?

	RyanBeingManny:	Nov 6th, 2010 at 21:50 GMT		4 points
	He sure showed you idiots when the NFL Networks list was IDENTICAL to his pop's! You surely feel stupid for questioning the football acumen of the NFL EXPERT OF ROWLETT TEXAS!

	Stanford0008:	Nov 7th, 2010 at 00:49 GMT		2 points
	@Morgunov I agree this quiz is idiotic, but acive players should be able to be listed on a greatest of all-time list. Brett Favre has to be considered one of the top 5 QB's of all-time and he is still an active player.

	Anyone else wondering if the creator can actually provide a link to any of the news articles his dad has written?

	Vomby:	Nov 11th, 2010 at 05:54 GMT		1 point
	I respect the Hannah pick... But c'mon, man. If you're going to pick an old-schooler like Walker, pick Jim Brown. You're obviously not into championships (something I appreciate), and Brown carried the Browns almost entirely by himself.

	what in the world did beanie wells do that got him to number 18 ALL TIME????????????????????????????? the guy's rushed for 1190 yards in his CAREER!!! and hes not even in the top 10 active best rbs! maybe he meant to enter jim brown and accidentally wrote wells. or maybe im hallucinating. who knows

	mlbnflwhiz:	Jan 27th, 2011 at 14:12 GMT		1 point
	whoa when this quiz was created wells had 300 rushing yards and wasnt in the top 50 best active rbs. come on

	howard38:	Nov 27th, 2011 at 00:58 GMT		1 point
	I think the creator of this quiz is just having a little joke on us. The quality of the players listed is just good enough to fool most people.
