Which Patriot's legends do you wish had won a Championship with the Pats ?

[scott99]

There were tons of Patriot's legends prior to 2001, which one of your Patriot's favorite legends do you wish had won a championship with the Pats ? Here are mine.

1) Steve Nelson ILB- loved the way Nelson played, he was a beast. In the era of the legendary middle linebackers, he was often overlooked, but he was damned good and a warrior. Seemed to be in every tackle. One of my all time favorites.

2) John Hannah LG- the best guard of all time and possibly the greatest O-Lineman of all time, he was just the perfect O-Lineman. Not a sexy pick, but just a great player.

3) Andre Tippett OLB- instantly adds a great pass rush to any team. Feared and game planned against by offenses, he was just unstoppable. Despite playing in the Lawrence Taylor era, was still recognized as a great. What a great player.

I have several more that I wished had won a championship, but I will keep it relatively short. Who are your favorite legends you wish had won a championship with the Pats ?

Andre Tippett, Steve Grogan and Mosi Tatupu....mostly because I like saying his name.

I like this list. Even though Junior Seau was not a Patriot for a long time, I always felt he understood the Patriot way and would have loved to see him win one with the Patriots.

Wes Welker and Logan Mankins.

The ironic thing being that, had he not switched into a casino blitz on the Plax touchdown, he may have had one.

Randy Vataha, a 70s version of Edelman, 5'10 176 pounds and a 17th round draft pick...... tough as nails and all grit......

Wes Welker and Logan Mankins.

It's easy to forget that a few great players sandwiched between the SB wins didn't get one. I feel for Mankins, but all Wes had to do was hang on to the ball.

Wes may have been MVP of 42 though. It really ****ing sucks Denver won without him, there could have been one small good thing to come out of that. He was one of the few guys to show up and not quit in 48 also.

I'm the most heartbroken that Randy Moss never got a Super Bowl ring.

Um..... ALL of them of course. Isn't that the obvious and correct answer?

Prior to 2K, Hannah, Tippett, Francis.

Post 2k Seau, Moss, Mankins.

 

[varjao]

From my time, Moss and Mankins.

 

[mosslost]

Grogan, Tippett, Nelson, Hannah, Morgan, the whole 76 team, and the 1996 team.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Too long of a list but a few need to be Hog, Nellie, Brock, Grogs, Stingley, Steamer, Coates, Flutie, Gray, Jules Adams, Welker, Mankins, Moss, Armstrong, Tip, Blackmon, Mosi, RayClay

 

[SEA_Pat]

Stanley Morgan and Sugar Bear Hamilton.

In the BB era...

Wes Welker
Logan Mankins
Randy Moss
Junior Seau

 

[patchick]

Wes Welker and Logan Mankins.

Kind of mind-bending to think that Cam Fleming has two rings and Logan Mankins none.

John Hannah
