Would you rather...

[phenomenal_waffles]

Would you rather have a 22 man team with players from only the Colts, Cowboys, Pats and Chargers, or have a 22 man team with players from every team BUT the Colts, Cowboys, Pats and Chargers?

[McNulty]

i'd have to break that down player by player, but right off my head I'd definitely go with the 22-man squad from the top 4 teams. Brady, Manning and LT are true superstars and legends, and while Brees and Palmer or whoever you wanted to plug in at Qb would be good I think Manning and Brady are simply irreplaceable. It also helps that at WR and TE you'd have 4 receivers who'd probably be in everybody's top 10 (moss, TO, harrison, wayne) and I'm not really sure if any defense in the world could gameplan against a redzone attack of TO, Moss and Antonio Gates not too mention the fact that you'd also have access to the most complete TE in the NFL in Witten and match-up nightmare Dallas Clark. Then amidst all these big bodies you'd have little Wes Welker buzzing around catching balls and racking up YAC. I also like the idea of Merriman and Ware blitzing around a 3-4 front of any combination of the Pats and Chargers D-Linemen not too mention that you could also use the undersized Colts ends in a myriad of ways.

Every team BUT no questions asked. It would look like this.

QB - Carson Palmer
RB - Adrian Peterson
FB - Tony Richardson
WR - Andre Johnson
WR - Braylon Edwards
TE - Chris Cooley
LT - Joe Thomas
LG - Steve Hutchinson
C - Matt Birk
RG - Shawn Andrews
RT - Jordan Gross

RE - Mario Williams
DT - Albert Haynesworth
DT - Kevin Williams
LE - Jared Allen
WLB - Lance Briggs
MLB - Lofa Tatupu
SLB - Julian Peterson (I know he's weak side but I'd rather have him here than any legit strong side)
CB - Champ Bailey
CB - Nnamdi Asomugha
FS - LaRon Landry
SS - Troy Polamalu

EDIT: The four top teams would look like this.

QB - Tom Brady
RB - LaDainian Tomlinson
WR - Marvin Harrison
WR - Randy Moss
WR - Terrell Owens
TE - Antonio Gates
LT - Matt Light
LG - Logan Mankins
C - Jeff Saturday
RG - Leonard Davis
RT - Ryan Diem

LE - Dwight Freeney
NT - Vince Wilfork
RE - Richard Seymour
OLB - DeMarcus Ware
ILB - Tedy Bruschi
ILB - Bradie James
OLB - Shawne Merriman
CB - Antonio Cromartie
CB - Terence Newman
FS - Ken Hamlin
SS - Bob Sanders

I think the first team is better. Constricting your talent pool this much versus the 28 teams just hurts too much, in this case, particularly along the offensive line.

[Ryan Leaf]

I would go with everyone BUT those four teams. Look at the lineup above. That OLINE would dominate.

[McNulty]

i'd put marcus mcneill in over matt light, light is good but the rest of the line and the offense in general makes him look a lot better

[McNulty]

i think CB's and inside backers are the only spots where the other 28 would have a noticeable advantage, and actually a fully functioning pacman along with cromartie would be pretty devastating. Depth in the secondary would be a major disadvantage for the Top-4 but Peyton and Brady with those offensive weapons would be absolutely lethal. Not too mention LT's magic being spelled by Marion Barber's bruising style.

[Joey_Potter]

Everyone but those 4 teams. There are a lot of very good players from the other 28 teams.

[phenomenal_waffles]

I'm talking starter-wise though. No depth.

[Joey_Potter]

Yea. You put the Packers, Texans, and Buccaneers Defenses together and you will have the best Defense. Then add Cleveland's Playmaking Offense, while adding some guys like Larry Fitzgerald, Alan Fannica, and Drew Brees along with a few Pro-Bowl Caliber Replacements and you have the best offense.

[DraftKidWonder]

most defenitly everybody but.

QB: Carson Palmer
RB: Adrian Peterson
FB: Greg Jones
WR: Larry Fitzgearld
WR: Torry Holt
TE: Kellen Winslow jr.
LT: Joe Thomas
LG: Steve Hutcheison
C: Scott Wells
RG: Aaron Sears
RT: Levi Brown

DE: Mario Williams
DT: Kevin Williams
NT: Pat Williams (how are you not going to have the best run stuffing tandem in the NFL?)
DE: Julius Peppers
WLB: Jon Beason
MLB: P Willis
SLB: AJ Hawk
CB: Champ Baily
CB: DeAngelo Hall
FS: Ed Reed
SS: Laron Landry
No question about it.

EDIT: Happy Joey P? I mean, Coach Joey P?

[Joey_Potter]

I have no clue who most of those are. Please write out the names.

You have Freeney playing DE in a 3-4?

Anyways, I'd pick the top 4 teams just so I could bench Brady and laugh at him.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

I can see why you abbreviate your names DKW.

[phenomenal_waffles]

I'd have to say that the 4 are better at QB, RB, WR, and TE but the other teams are better at the O-line, and the entire defense.

Anyway, I just posted this to see what you guys would think. I saw this same topic and most people picked the 4 teams with answers like "OMG TOM BRADY IS BESTEST IN WORLD!!!!! HE PASS 50 TOUCHDOWN SO HE MUST BE BEST QB EVARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[NoNonsenseCoach]

Tom Brady? Jim Sorgi is obviously the best QB of any of the 4 teams.
