Title: Re: 5 greatest Bama players of all times: agree or disagree Post by: 2Stater on May 15, 2019, 07:55:51 PM I wouldn't argue against these 5, but there are just too many great players that were this good, to narrow it down to these names.

Agree, but a case could be made for 1 or 2 other players. Completely agree with choices of Hutson, Woody Lowe, & John Hannah. Henry & Thomas are strong candidates but I could see replacing them with Lee Roy Jordan and either Stabler (Bryant called him his best QB) or Amari Cooper (to be replaced by Jerry Jeudy next year?). :dunno: Title: Re: 5 greatest Bama players of all times: agree or disagree Post by: Leewillie on May 16, 2019, 08:33:38 AM Must have never seen Lee Roy Jordan play. He led a defense in 1961 which only gave up 25 points all season. Best defensive player I ever saw. Against Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl he made 31 tackles.

Title: Re: 5 greatest Bama players of all times: agree or disagree Post by: ricky023 on May 16, 2019, 08:48:30 AM A lot of great names there but a lot of great names left off too. It is hard to top these guys but it is hard to leave off some of the greats like Namath, Stabler, Musso and a kicker. RTR!

That's quite a crowded field. Bingo. He’s a great one but what about Bobby Humphrey, Wilbur Jackson, M. Ingram, T. Richardson, Musso, and on & on? :clap: Title: Re: 5 greatest Bama players of all times: agree or disagree Post by: N.AL-Tider on May 16, 2019, 11:53:22 AM I love D.

I had just moved from Dallas and had been watching Emmitt Smith rush for the Cowboys, and I felt that Shaun Alexander was almost at that level too.

RTR!

I forgot all about Alexander so thanks for the reminder. I think he was better than Henry and might belong on the Top 5 list. :clap: :clap: :facepalm: Title: Re: 5 greatest Bama players of all times: agree or disagree Post by: McBaman on May 17, 2019, 09:45:39 AM Must have never seen Lee Roy Jordan play.

Any list of Bama's greatest has to include Lee Roy. |
