Create an all-time team: 1 player from each team + (1 coach)

[mse326]

If there are any questions about any of my picks or non picks I'm open to debate it. One decision I made is that I wanted every position to have a backup that not only dictated most of the extra positions but versatility.

Coach: Joe Gibbs (Redskins)

QB: Tom Brady (Patriots)
Backup QB: Drew Brees (Saints)
RB: Marshall Faulk (Rams)
FB: Marion Motley (Browns)
Backup RB: Barry Sanders (Lions)
TE: Tony Gonzalez (Chiefs)
Backup TE: Shannon Sharpe (Broncos)
WR: Jerry Rice (49ers)
WR: Randy Moss (Vikings)
Slot WR: Lance Alworth (Chargers)
Backup WR: Jimmy Smith (Jaguars)
LT: Anthony Munoz (Bengals)
LG: Jim Parker (Colts)
OC: Dwight Stephenson (Dolphins)
RG: Bruce Matthews (Titans)
RT: Forrest Gregg (Packers) - I felt like we should use an actual RT rather than a LT and play him on the right
Backup Oline: Joe DeLamiellure (Bills)

DE: JJ Watt (Texans)
DT: Cortez Kennedy (Seahawks)
DT: Bob Lilly (Cowboys)
DE: Reggie White (Eagles)
Backup DLine Joe Klecko (Jets)
OLB: Lawrence Taylor (Giants)
MLB: **** Butkus (Bears)
OLB: Derrick Brooks (Buccaneers)
Backup LB: Luke Keuchley (Panthers)
CB: Rod Woodson (Steelers)
CB: Deion Sanders (Falcons)

SS: Larry Wilson (Cardinals)
Backup DB Charles Woodson (Raiders)

I've noticed people taking Reed over Lewis in a lot of these. Obviously it's tough as both are arguably the best ever at their respective positions. Is it more of a matter of Reed has less competition whereas you can plug in someone like Butkus for Lewis? I personally went with Lewis over Reed on my team because Lewis was an insane coverage linebacker which is often a weakness that teams try to exploit against teams with elite pass rushers.

Yeah. For me it is basically the difference between Reed and the next FS is more than Lewis to the next MLB/ILB. I'm not even positive that I have Lewis as the best MLB where as Reed pretty clearly is except maybe Lott (Lott played around too much for me to treat him as just a FS though and Rice was no question for 49ers so Lott wasn't even in consideration anyway). I really don't know how to compare Lewis and Butkus as best given the difference in the game at the time. Butkus was better against the run particularly getting off blocks, Lewis the better in coverage which was important in his era but not Butkus's. And I have Brooks at OLB and Keuchley on my bench for coverage from the LB spot
