Marty Dolphin Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 ESPN currently has a feature "Rank 'Em: Greatest NFL Players Ever" and their contributors ranked the best 10 players in NFL history. Reggie White made it but not Bruce. Bruce and OJ Simpson were the Bills in the top 30 players to choose from of all time.

JinVA Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Im not really shocked he didn't make the top ten, especially after reading the list, but I am a little surprised he wasn't even considered top twenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasper13 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 But he is in the new Coors Light commercial with John Elway, Rich Eisen, Jillian Barberie and of course the Twins. That should count for something shouldn't it? I just hope they didn't let Bruce drive home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justnzane Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I think that bruce was better than reggie for sure, as reggie as went up against weaker right tackles. Also, everybody forgets that only O.J. and Barry Sanders have ran for 2000+ yards in any 14 game span in one season, but then again everybody seems to overlook O.J.'splaying days as a byproduct of his wife getting murdered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I don't get it about the juice. Nobody gives him props for running for 2000 yards in 14 games. Let's see jamal lewis run for 2000 yards by mid december.. then we'll talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Reggie often played on the other side of the line, vs RTs who are generally weaker than LTs Reggie was surrounded by better talent on the DLine than Bruce was throughout most of their careers. It was easy to double and triple team Bruce, whereas you had to account for the other DLinemen when facing Reggie Reggied played in a 43 most of his career, which keys the pass rush from DEs. Bruce played most of his career in a 34, which keys the pass rush from LBs Reggie was never a great run stuffer. Bruce was inadequate early on, but developed into a force against the run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
