Who makes your list of all time greats?
The Raiders have a mysterious, fluid, almost mythical tie to the NFL. There is no NFL w/o the Raiders, and if there was, it would suck. Everyone loves to hate us, our methods, our unquestioned loyalty to the dark side. People just don't understand, that once you go through the black hole, there's no turning back.
The Raiders have had some of the best teams and talent the NFL has ever seen. I thought it might be a good conversation starter to put together the best offensive and defensive team the Raiders have had. Compiling talent from each generation, mixed with a lot of the same attitudes and competiveness that every great Raider team[s] have had.
Offense
QB- Ken Stabler
RB- Bo Jackson
FB- Marcus Allen
WR- Tim Brown
WR- Cliff Branch
WR- Fred Biletnikoff
TE- Dave Casper
TE- Todd Christensen
OT- Art Shell
OG- Gene Upshaw
C- Jim Otto
OG- Steve Wisnewski
OT- Lincoln Kennedy
The Offensive Line was pretty much a given, it has to rank as THE greatest or one of the greatest lines in the History of the NFL. I would put it up against any Defense you can think of.
Defense
DE- Greg Townsend [John Matuszak]
DT- Otis Sistrunk
DT- Chester McGlockton
DE- Howie Long [Lyle Alzado]
OLB- THE MAD STORK [Ted Hendricks]
MLB- Matt Millen [Monte Johnson]
OLB- Phil Villiapiano
CB- Lester Hayes
CB- Willie Brown [Mike Haynes]
SS- George Atkinson
FS- Jack Tatum [Team Captain]
Special Teams
P- Ray Guy
KR/PR- Tim Brown, James Jett
I believe this to be a formidable squad against any other teams all time greats. I especially think our depth on our Defense is extraordinary, I would put this team up against any great team and could live with the results.
