Who is the best NFL player overall?
821203
It has to be L.T. He can run the ball, throw the ball, he can pass block well and has the best hands in football. He already has 22 touchdowns this season!!! The record is 28, by Shaun Alexander. L.T. is gonna smash that record to bits. I say he gets at least 32 touchdowns this season, if not more.

LaDainian Tomlinson. He's small and quick. The only thing he needs is a better O-line. Then he could easily become the NFL's leading rusher.

I love anwsers like the joker above me wrote.. This question doesn't ask about who's the better human being....It asks about who's the best linebacker...For my money it's Lawrence Taylor!! I don't care if he did drugs, sent a hooker to a guys room or slaughtered a family during the week...On Sunday he was an animal on the field!! And you can say the same thing about Ray Lewis!! He not the best....But he's top 10 all time for sure!!

Reggie Bush. He is one of the most talented and exciting players to come through college football. And he has accomplished all of this within a team full of future Sunday players.

Ladainian Tomlinson. He could break Shaun Alexanders record of most TD in a season. If he does it should be LT. He catches, throws and runs like a demon. He is the best player in the NFL

If you go by the number of  Super Bowl rings, then the answer is Tom Brady. If you go by stats, the answer is Peyton Manning.  Actually the most efficient quarterback in the NFL right now, based on the QB rating formula, is Tony Romo of the Cowboys, followed by  Manning. However, Romo has played fewer games this season\nthan Manning, so I would say the answer right now is Manning.

Brett farve isnt retired. Elway is the best because he retired  on top.

Tom Brady\nP.Manning\nCarson Palmer\nDonovan Mcnabb\nAnd heres a shocker.. Matt Hasselback\n\nTHose are the 5 best QBs in league i think. Vick i like, as well as Breese and Delhomme and E.Manning..but i htink those are the 5 best. Rex Grossman does not deserve to be mentioned with any of these guys i named.... Half a season does not make you one of the 5 or even ten best QBs in league.\n\n think you need to take OUT breese and put Mcnabb in there. Breese has not done the things Donovan has statistically. Besides, if the eagles had a running game and could kill the clock, they might actually be 7-0 lol... Mcnabb has carried them most of the year.\n\nMost of you people are bats**t. Rex Grossman, Phillip Rivers, Damon Huard? LOL these are guys you want to list in the 5 best QBs in the NFL LMAO! Wow. I guess 7 games makes you elite.... MORONS!!  I think i even saw a Tony Romo sumwhere on here LMAO omg! jeeeezzz ,, Marc Bulger has done more in his career than Damon Huard, Rex Grossman, Phillip Rivers and the immortal Tony Romo lol. sumtimes i wonder if sum of you people are being serious or messin around.

J Montana was the best\n\nLawrence Taylor second\n\nDan Marino&#92;\n\n\nbest of the best

LaDanian Tomlinson is way better at every aspect of their games. Though Larry Johnson will have a better season only because the Cheifs offense is loaded with great players.

Peyton is the best QB right now definitely. He is a great QB. People always want to include team success with individual attributes. Terry Bradshaw was a decent QB that happened to be on some great teams. Winning Super Bowls doesn't make you a great QB. Look at Big Ben, how great is he? Trent Dilfer? Brad Johnson? Mark Ripien?

I would say Colston no doubt, but he got injured today and depending on how long he is out may affect his chances. He has been the biggest shock and most impressive player coming out of last years draft. \n\nOn defense I would have to say Mark Anderson, the guy leads all rookies (tied at #5 in all of the NFL) with 7.5 sacks so far as well as some forced fumbles and a safety.
772652
The stats point to either Steve Young or Dan Marino......but the BEST ever, hands down, was the great Joe Montana!\nBest RB ever....Walter Payton or Jim Brown\nReceiver.....Easy one....Jerry Rice\nCoach....hmmm....Tom Landry or Don Shula\nKicker...Morten Anderson

Bradshaw, Elway, Marino, P. Manning, Montana  are my favorites of all time!\n\nbut that is really difficult to say because I am leaving out so many greats!\n\nStarr, Unitas, Staubach, Namath, Brady, Aikman, Moon, Tittle, Young, Favre and maybe even Vick or Big Ben someday!\n\nIt really depends what era, or what criteria you are looking for.

For the Old schoolers you have Lambert, Butkus, and Singletary.  Today there is Urlacker, and Lewis.  The Hardest hitting, this is close but I'm gonna go with Jack Lambert.

If you mean all time, I would have to say Barry Sanders.  In 1988, his junior year at Oklahoma State, he had 3250 total yardage with 2850 coming on the ground.  He had an astounding 44 TD's that season and won the Heisman before coming out of school to play for the Detroit Lions.\n\nWhile he only had 1 season as a starter, he was a backup to Buffalo Bills great Thurman Thomas his 1st two years at Okie St.\n\nIf you ever get a chance to watch his games on ESPN Classic, do it because he is clearly the best player on the field that entire season.
