Throwback Thursday: Flea Flicker All-Time Team

Unlike a typical All-Time Team, let alone a Flea Flicker All-Time Team, this one is an All-Time Team taken from the pool of players that I have actually seen in person. I wish that the sampling size was larger but that's how it goes. The size of the sampling isn't large but the quality is pretty great.

QB
*Joe Montana  San Francisco 49ers

RB
Adrian Peterson  Minnesota Vikings
*Emmitt Smith  Dallas Cowboys

FB
Darryl Johnston  Dallas Cowboys

WR
*Jerry Rice  San Francisco 49ers
*Cris Carter  Minnesota Vikings

TE
*Dave Casper  Oakland Raiders

T
*Art Shell  Oakland Raiders
*Ron Yary  Minnesota Vikings

G
*Randall McDaniel  Minnesota Vikings
*Larry Allen  Dallas Cowboys

C
Mick Tingelhoff  Minnesota Vikings

DE
*Carl Eller  Minnesota Vikings
*Chris Doleman  Minnesota Vikings

DT
*John Randle  Minnesota Vikings
Kevin Williams  Minnesota Vikings

LB  
*Ted Hendricks  Oakland Raiders
Randy Gradishar Denver Broncos
Matt Blair  Minnesota Vikings

CB
*Mike Haynes  Oakland Raiders
*Deion Sanders  Dallas Cowboys

S
*Paul Krause  Minnesota Vikings
*Ronnie Lott  San Francisco 49ers

K
Ray Wersching  San Francisco 49ers

P
*Ray Guy  Oakland Raiders

Coach: *Bill Walsh/*Bud Grant/*John Madden

*-member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame

18 Hall of Fame players are part of this team. All three coaches. I couldn't decide on one coach but really it should go to Walsh as he has the most Lombardis. Adrian Peterson will join the rest in Canton one day. Mick Tingelhoff could join them this year as the Senior Committee nominee in the February voting. I missed seeing Vikings Hall of Fame defensive tackle Alan Page by about two months. One of the great tragedies of my life. Linebacker is probably the weak link of this team if decided by Hall of Fame recognition. It's a valid argument that Gradishar should already be in the Hall of Fame. Blair might be just on the outside of Canton-recognition.

This team could win some games.
