Re: The Greatest Titan/Oiler Of All-Time

For me this isn't even a debate, though I doubt many will agree with me. It's Bruce Matthews.

Bruce Matthews (football player) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - "Matthews was drafted ninth in the first round of the 1983 NFL Draft by the Houston Oilers, where he would block for the legendary Earl Campbell and eventually play all line positions (guard, center and tackle), going to the Pro Bowl for the latter two. He was selected to fourteen Pro Bowls in all, a league record. His entire career was spent with the Oilers franchise, which relocated in the middle of his career and became the Tennessee Titans. An extremely durable player, Matthews recorded the longest playing longevity at any position. He holds the league record for most games (296) and seasons (19) played by an offensive lineman. Matthews retired after the 2001 season... In his first year of eligibility, Matthews was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2007. He is the only player from the Tennessee Titans to be given this honor."

The Tyler Rose, Earl Campbell hands down...I have not seen his equal as a power back...not Csonka, not Bo Jackson, not Riggins, not Bettis...Earl is the man.

Re: The Greatest Titan/Oiler Of All-Time

I also have to go with Earl Campbell. As others have said, I have never seen anybody as bruising as he was. It looked like he wanted somebody to try and tackle him just so he could get a good hit in.

It is funny, but with Warren Moon, I usually associate him with the Vikings. I don't know why since he only played there about 3-4 years. It seems like he was there a long time.

Cool Re: The Greatest Titan/Oiler Of All-Time

Earl Campbell, without a doubt. He's one of the best RB's in the history of pro football...Definitely in the 10 IMO.

Re: The Greatest Titan/Oiler Of All-Time

Tennessee Titans History All Time Team presented by NFLHistory.net

this is an old link that GDK posted a while back, how many of the great titans are in the and how many are missing? im suprised to see Keith Bulluck not even appear in the second team though, can he be classified as a great titan? i think so
