I agree with most of the picks, just not the order. Don't get me wrong, I love Joe Montana - but does he have four Super Bowl Rings?

I am happy that Sweetness is so high on the list, though!

Favre should be moved up more than several places.
I agree that Brady should be dropped down some.

Joe does have 4 rings

All in all, I think it's pretty good. I would change around the order though. Personally, I think Jerry Rice is the greatest player in NFL history. Tom Brady......I would move him down.

Seems like a fairly good list. I'm sure we could argue about placement and other players forever.
