Ed Reed: One of the Greatest Safeties in history...What!?!?
Ok, so I was on Sirius Satellite Radio's website looking up their scheduled sporting events for tonight since I will have no time to go anywhere because of my Driver's ed class.
And I happened to notice their poll results for greatest team of all time. The results of the safety category is as follows:
Ronnie Lott 33% (doesn't surprised me at all)
Ed Reed 23%
Darren Woodson 22%
Rod Woodson 6%
Ken Houston 3%
Paul Krause 2%
Larry Wilson 1%
Well, there is many things wrong with this poll. But I'll just cover the most important things. Reed, and Polamalu aren't even the best active safeties of all-time (this coming from a Steelers fan).
[edit] Reed's Career Stats:
370 total tackles (316 solo), 75 PD, 4 sacks, 5 FF, 34 INT, 3 defensive TD's
So, first off, Reed hasn't even been in the NFL long enough, just 6 years. If I had to pick the best active safety, I would go with John Lynch, and Darren Sharper. I agree with the winner, Lott, but I don't know about the rest. Rod Woodson should be higher than six percent. What do you AGMers think about this poll??
[edit] Other notable Poll Results:
DE:
Howie Long, and Deacon Jones win the DE position. Long led all DE's with 30% of the votes, while Jones was a close second (26%). Ed "Too Tall" Jones, and Bruce Smith were other notable candidates, and I believe that Smith should have won over Howie. But, apparently other football fans don't think that same way I do.
Jerry Rice (obviously), and Randy Moss are apparently the NFL's greatest WR's. Rice got 38% of the votes, while Randy got 22%. Don Maynard, and Steve Largent came in 3rd, and 4th in fan voting.
