obviously you had to be alive in order to see him play! kinda hard to say "Normie Kwong" was my favorite player, yet he played 30-40 years before you were even born! :lol:
anyway
My Favorite Player of All-Time at this stage of my life is Kent Austin!
I had an old Rider Jersey that had #5 and Austin on the back of it!
I would say Jackie Parker, and I was around when he was playing, but I was a little too young to remember his playing days well enough to pick him even though I did meet the man once.
So instead I'll go with Warren Moon. That guy was a real pleasure to watch. I think he is the best quarterback I have ever seen play in any league.
Doug Flutie , best QB ever and was something to watch ! Even if he crushed your team ! Watch the 92 Grey Cup game, he dismantled a dominant Bomber Defence ! Made them look silly ! The score flattered the Bombers !
James Murphy , Clutch in big games !
Allen Pitts, On par with Stegall !
4.Tom Clements Wish we had him longer in Winnipeg !
All time... I wasn't born yet but because of espn classic I feel I can say sonny Wade. Currently i'm going with nik Lewis(I feel his Offensive blocking us reahaping the expectation of a inside reciever). The first player to really make the impact for me was pee wee smith... Back on the eighties.
Defense -- Bobby Jurasin (see signature line below, and future avatar)
Offense -- Ronnie Lancaster, the Little General. I was just a kid when he was still playing, but I still remember him. Class act all the way, both on and off the field.
Special Teams -- Pinball Clemens or Gizmo Williams...both undersized and exciting as all get-out to watch.
Overall, though, still gotta go with 71. Bobby J is the man. I wear his number every game day, jersey only gets washed once a year, at the end of the season. Wish I could have gotten it signed, but don't want to seem like some crazy stalker dude by sending it to him.
OK, OK… if I had to pick, I’d probably go with Ricky Ray. The QB is my favourite position, and the Esks are my favourite team. Plus, I think if Ray had a halfway decent O-Line, he’d be tearing the league apart.
By the way, I wasn’t making fun. I’ve never seen you play, so I couldn’t make fun. Just felt like making a friendly joke.
Oh man, my bad. I totally misread Chief’s post. I thought he was talking about what a great and thoughtful thread idea it was!!! Thats what I was impressed with. :oops:
This is a tough one for me…
Warren Moon (I think he was better than Flutie)
Blake Marshall (toughest Cdn RB ever!)
Danny Ray Kepley
Tommy Scott
Bryan Kelly
Dave Fennell
Joe Hollimon
but favourite… Gizmo no question.
He was, and still is, miles beyond anyone else in what he did. Plus, interviews with him were hilarious!
Really tough to choose. There have been so many great players. I can't choose just one, so I'm going to say it's a tie between Danny McManus and Earl Winfield.
