Concede a spot to Amani?

Should we concede Amani Toomer a spot on our All-Time Team (he is cruising in the poll) and re-vote the 2nd slot?

If you guys want to do that, I will put up a new wide receiver poll this weekend without Toomer in it?

The Giff

Ed, just out of curiousity, is Gifford going to be listed as a RB? I know its hard to put him in one position, didn’t he make the Pro Bowl at 5 different positions?

Gifford

will be listed with the running backs, yes.

Gifford actually has more receiving yards career than rushing yards, which surprised me. When I solicited help for these choices, though, both ‘pot’ and ‘george’ listed Gifford as a running back. He’s probably the same as Morrison, though, where he fits in either place.

How can you keep a guy like Giff, the face of the Giants during the Glory Years and an HOFer

off the all-time BBV team? On the other hand, where do you put him? I say RB, not because he was the best runner the Giants have ever had. We’ve had better, but we never had a better all-around back. He was the best Giant ever as a back comong out as a receiver and the all-time NFL best running the option. He couldn’t throw like Tittle, but he could throw better than most QBs of his era. Until Big Blue got YA, they were seriously considering moving Giff to QB
