Hard to vote as all of them were great in their time.

 

[Sixty_Six_Ray]

Hinkle, Taylor, Green, Honorable mention #3 & #5
Grant

 

[Half Empty]

Understand the derision for Grant from a longevity standpoint, but the 2007-9 were really, really good.

 

[HeartyHops]

This is probably one of the only positions I can vote 'old school' and feel good about it, as the game has changed so much in other positions.

My one and only vote. Jim Taylor.

 

[Pugger]

Hinkle should be getting more love here...

Taylor was easy. Hornung was perhaps not the greatest runner but was such an impressive all-around performer, so he gets a vote. After that is was tough. Hinkle was worthy. Green was worthy. The rest had outstanding periods of time but they were all pretty short-lived periods.

I also thought about Johnny Blood (McNally), the Vagabond Halfback and charter member of the Pro Football HOF, as worthy of being on the list. Certainly things were different then in terms of the halfback position and what it entailed, but he was quite a runner by all accounts.

Ahman, Jim Taylor and John Brockington.

Ahman had Brett, Taylor had the best supporting cast ever, but Brockington had very little help. Mac Lane and Brock were punishing. Still one of my favorite highlights EVER was watching Brock run over Paul Krause of the vikes. Literally ran him over. Limited career years because of his style, he was a ray of sunshine during the dark ages (70's- 80's).

Fierce competitor. Running over people. Little spin moves. Loves the game.

I'm glad that nobody was expected to buy a house for their mother back in those days.
