Steve Young
Jim Brown
Jerry Rice
Randy Moss
Tony Gonzo

QB - Joe Montana: The man was the definition of "cool under pressure". And he has 4 rings.

RB - Barry Sanders: I really don't think this one needs a reason why, but I'll give one anyway. He broke a man's ankle without touching him, he was easily on his way to breaking numerous records when he retired (which is the only reason why Crybaby Emmitt stayed in the League so long), & he did all of it without a good offense or a FB. A legendary career cut short by bad management.

TE - Mark Bavaro: Big physical end that could run you over & make big plays. I always remember him being super clutch for the Giants when they seemed to need him the most.

WR - Art Monk: Despite the lack of a "signature catch" ( :rolleyes: ), he was the clutchest of clutch receivers IMO. When you needed a 3rd & 16, he was there. He had the best hands in the game. You could throw the ball anywhere within 5 yards of his position & he would catch the ball & make something happen. He was also the classiest guy on the field.

WR - Jerry Rice: Next to Monk, Rice was my other all time favorite receiver. Also a class act & non-stop hard worker, his record breaking career is by & large one of the most celebrated of all time at his position (or should be). No matter where he went (even in Oakland...or was it LA at that point...I can't keep up with those clowns), his work ethic & his abilities never ceased to amaze.

That's my team.

Clark was a hell of a WR . WR's in the 70's averaged 40 - 55 reception per yr. IF C. Taylor , I. Curtis or Swann played in todays NFL , they would have had much better #'s . If W. Welker were a #2 WR playing in the 70's , he would not average near 100 reception per year , nor would you see QB' s throwing for 30 plus td's per year , as I believe Sunny J. lead the league in td's passes with 19 < 74 > . Swann made the Hall because he dominated in the playoff's and Super Bowls .

Swann played in the 70's sure, but Clark played mainly in the 80's. A bit different than the 70's, but we're not comparing Welker to Swann, we're comparing Clark. Gary Clark basically lapped Swann's numbers and their playing years weren't too far apart.

QB- Joe Montana with Dan Marino a close 2nd even though he never won the SB. I think Marino was one of the best pure passers ever.
RB- Barry Sanders
WR's- Rice and Clark.
TE- Winslow, Sharpe, Gonzo cant go wrong with either.

Swann played in the 70's sure, but Clark played mainly in the 80's. A bit different than the 70's, but we're not comparing Welker to Swann, we're comparing Clark. Gary Clark basically lapped Swann's numbers and their playing years weren't too far apart.
I understand that both played in the same time span . In 1978 , the NFL changed the rules as far as bumping WR's and Lineman using there arms extended when pass blocking . As great as C. Taylor was , he never had a 1,000 yd's in 1 season from 1970 - 77 , nor did anther HOF WR , C Joiner during that span . Remember , very few WR's even had 60 recepions /yr during that time because DB's could hit WR's 30 yds downfield as long as the ball was not in the air , and your top QB's avg'd 2,000 yds / 20 tds per year . If you had Sunny and Staubach playing in this era , you would see them putting up # like the kids today. Clark might end up in Canton one day himself .
