30-years? I’m too lazy for that. My favorites on this team:

  1. Frank Ragnow on the OL because he sets their standard.
  2. Amon-Ra on O because he’s like Ben Wallace for this team.
  3. Gibbs is best RB
  4. Hutch on DL but Houston is 1b for me.
  5. Kujo is still my favorite safety
  6. Ben Johnson is my fave coordinator. Without him, we’re a mid-tier offense

Good list, agree on most! We really haven’t had many centers in the past 30 years. I’d go Kevin Glover over Raiola though

I mean i was just putting a center down that had a long career with us at that point. He was always limited to be sure but not sure who i would put as our second best C since 93.

I think what this exercise did for me was make me realize how young we are and how i believe a lot of our current guys could shortly vault onto this list… also, god we have been bad forever :rofl:
