I have not been around long enough to be able to adequately assess
every player in Patriots' history (I've basically been a fan since
1978, when I was 9). So this list probably is incomplete. But that's
where the rest of you chime in. I'll give the positions and 2-3
candidates. Then, I'll offer my "vote". The rest of you can add
candidates and place your votes. Should be fun.

Quarterback
- Tom Brady
- Drew Bledsoe
- Steve Grogan
- Babe Parilli

This question shouldn't even have been asked...

Like I said, I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of really good players, so
please feel free to nominate other guys. Here's my all-time Patriots
team:

QB - Tom Brady
RB - Curtis Martin, Sam Cunningham
WR - Troy Brown, Stanley Morgan
TE - Ben Coates
OT - Bruce Armstrong, Brian Holloway
OG - John Hannah, Joe Andruzzi
C - Pete Brock
DE - Richard Seymour, Julius Adams
DT - Ray Hamilton, Vince Wilfork
OLB - Andre Tippett, Willie McGinest
ILB - Steve Nelson, Vincent Brown (tough to leave Tedy off!)
CB - Ty Law, Mike Haynes (tough to leave Clayborn off!)
S - Lawyer Milloy, Rodney Harrison
K - Adam Vinatieri
P - Rich Camarillo
Head Coach - Bill Belichick

That would be a tremendous football team. I'm sure many other
franchises could put together phenomenal all-time teams, but this would
be an excellent group.

Have fun with this!

John
