i picked TB based solely on his career to this point...not potential.

it's time for a "ring of honor" at Gillette!

Harrison one of the greatest pats ever? you have to be kidding me even to consider it.

Brady, Elway, Montana, Aikman, Bradshaw, and Staubach are examples great QBs.

Culpepper, McNair, Dilfer, Marino, and any QB with the last name of Manning (though some are "good" or "near-great") are examples of QBs that are not great.

Bill Belichick !
He masterminded the transition from Patsies to Champions

Hog Hannah ... The only player on that list that was a Pat from start to finish AND made the HoF AND redefined the position AND is considered the best ever at his position.

I agree. People get blinded by what is, anf forget others. I am amzazed that Brady has so large a percentage of votes. Maybe they never saw Cappilletti play CB and WR, then kick the extra point after scoring.

I cannot believe someone voted for Bledsoe.

For me this is a no brainer. It's Hannah. The primary reason I chose Hannah is because his greatness is defined by how he dominated his played position and for how extended a period of time he did so.

No other player on the list can boast of such long term domination to the degree that Hannah did. Quite frankly, it's not even close.
