Dorkington Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Polamalu also cant throw the ball.. how are they going to do anything on offense with 200 lb offensive lineman and a QB who cant throw? That's why I went in the Tebow direction... he can throw, just not the best. He can obviously run. He had decent size. No clue if he can catch a ball though.

NoSaint Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Honestly, to me, Polamalu is the no-brainer. People who are proposing LT or Tebow or Roethlesberger are forgetting how hard it is to cover a WR. Polamalu can cover, and is no slouch at shedding offensive linemen. He would get eaten alive in the trenches. Covering a WR is a small portion of what's required. He'd have to block Vince wilfork, suh, dareus...... Whoever. And shed blocks without any big guys eating space on the defensive line. you could just run on him, and even if hes good in coverage the qb should have 8-10 seconds on most plays. for me its narrowed totally to can Cam tackle/be physical, or can Ware throw? its the only way youd stand any chance of the game being remotely competitive, and even then its almost impossible. I like ware a lot because he can hit, he can take on lineman, hes physical enough that youd hope at 260-270 he wouldnt just crumble when blocking. he played WR at a high level in high school so he has hands and some idea of routes possibly. the only spots he suffer terribly at are corner (still 4.5 speed and not totally foreign to play outside, and drops in coverage occasionally. could probably hold a guy for 2-3 seconds if 4-5 wares could pressure the qb fast), and center/guard with blocking DTs. With of course the question - can he throw? Edited August 15, 2012 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 That's it. I'm going with Ted Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I would have to say Deon Sanders. The guy is just an athletic freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todzilla Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 When I first started reading this Lebron was my thought. If I'm sticking with football I think you guys have it covered with Cam, Gronk, Ware, etc... Maybe the dude that just won the decathalon, fast, strong, agile.

No clue if he can catch a ball though. eehhhhhh. VERY debatable. Polamalu would be better on defense. The only thing Tebow has on Polamalu is God himself.

cage Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I can't stand Tebow as a QB, but for this ridiculous question, he is a good answer. I agree completely... was thinking of Tebow too as I went down this thread... in this context, he could handle everything except OL/DL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Daunte Culpepper. DE sized guy that can throw very well and run.... he would destroy team Tebow. Runners up are: Patrick Willis, 2004 Terrell Owens ( who may have actually lobbied for this) and 2002 Ray Lewis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daunte Culpepper. DE sized guy that can throw very well and run.... he would destroy team Tebow. Runners up are: Patrick Willis, 2004 Terrell Owens ( who may have actually lobbied for this) and 2002 Ray Lewis. So disagree with this comment. I hate Tebow but Tebow would mop the floor with Culpepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 3) Doug Flutie - Run, pass, drop kick... I'm pretty sure he'd be a cancer in the locker room... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Jack Lambert, or Jim Brown. Tough decision. I go with Jim Brown. He was strong, fast enough, more elusive than some remember and had an incredible competitive instinct. This guy would fight as a blocker, tackler or anything else to the last drop of blood.

Brown was great in his era but defenses would mop the floor with him now. I change my mind about Polamalu. Would love to have a team of Aaron Maybins because of his freakish ability to gain and lose weight. He's so versatile too. Full of confidence. He's fast. Quick first step. Can tackle.

And for all the "game is won in the trenches talk," we certainly have a lot of 200lbs options named. People seem to be thinking of playmakers and neglecting how beat up they'd be in a matter of 2-3 snaps if they couldn't do the dirty work. Reasonably anyone under 250ish or slower than 4.5 and change would be utterly unable to move the ball or stop the other team even once.

Coach55 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Michael Jasper... Try stopping 11 of them on offense... No way. Run, Run, Run, Run... We would definitely have to play a very soft zone defensively... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
