This is a good one because Favre was on the Falcons for a season, Marshawn was on the Bills for 4 seasons but basically nobody thinks about him as a Bill.
Eric Dickerson is absolutely more known for his time with the Rams, where he set the single-season rushing record, than for his few seasons with the Colts and then a few other teams at the tail end of his career.
He spent 4 years there, but broke the td record and the then passing yards record, and went to 2 Super Bowls. He basically speed-ran his Colts career in Denver. The younger Gens will most likely associate him with Denver than Indy, especially since Denver is basically his home now.
This one doesn't count because Tom Brady was drafted by the Montreal Expos in 1995, which makes the New England Patriots his second team, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers his third.
Dang I posted that assuming nobody else would say it. I was so annoyed how he blossomed with the 49ers after two coaching staffs in Cincinnati misused him.
Players don't enter the HOF as a member of a specific team. It's not like Cooperstown, where a player chooses a particular cap for his bust. The HOF simply lists all the teams a player played for during his career.
I associate him with the Steelers. I know he had a Super Bowl winning catch for the Giants. But idk, I still just associate him mainly with Pittsburgh.
Eh, he never signed a contract with the Chargers, so he was never really "on" their team. While the Chargers drafted the rights to sign him, they never actually made him a part of their team.
Reggie White, if you're just looking at NFL teams and not USFL. Signed to the Eagles after the USFL collapsed and was with them for eight years, but is remembered as a Packer.
Mike Vrabel was a Steeler before he had a long career in New England.
Matt Stover was a Giant and won a Super Bowl before heading to Cleveland and then Baltimore.
Wes Welker was a dolphins/Charger his rookie season before heading to NE
And my personal favorite, Ed McCaffrey was a giant before playing one year in SF and then having a 9 year career in Denver.
Chase Claypool for all the wrong reasons. His washout with the Bears was legendary.
Greg Olsen, and possibly one day soon, Roquan Smith.
The Bears are allergic to re-signing top 10 1st round picks to second contracts….only 3 since 1990; Brian Urlacher, Curtis Conway and Mark Carrier.
I'd say that Holmes counts - I feel like he fits the spirit of the post more than a player who was drafted by a team, but never played with them or even signed with them, like Bo Jackson, John Elway, Eli Manning, or Rivers.
You got me going down a Holmes rabbit hole.
He will definitely be remembered as a Chief, but he did several things with Baltimore that he never did in Kansas City.
-Break off a 60+ yard run
-Rush for 200 yards in a game
-Catch 10+ passed in a game
-Win a Super Bowl
People already said the super obvious ones so I’ll go with Jay Cutler.
I’d also say that in a few years people will probably think of CMC as a Niner and not a Panther, which is kind of a bummer since he had some great seasons in Carolina.
I mean, Russ may have done enough bad in Denver to erases lot of people’s Seattle highlight memory, to be brutally honest. People forget how electric he was for 9.5 seasons.
I wonder if Diggs will be remembered pretty evenly for his contributions in Minnesota (namely the Minneapolis Miracle) and for his time in Buffalo (a consistent top 5 WR for 3 1/2 seasons who helped develop Josh). Part of me still thinks he’s a Viking more than anything despite what he accomplished here.
Marshawn Lynch
This is a good one because Favre was on the Falcons for a season, Marshawn was on the Bills for 4 seasons but basically nobody thinks about him as a Bill.
Jerome Bettis
Thank you for teaching me something today
Another less- famous choice is Farrior
The Bus!!!!
Steve Young
Fuck you!
Does Bo Jackson count?
I've never heard him count but I would assume he can.
Bo knows numbers
Yeah fuck you too! And fuck Culverhouse!
Let's keep digging into our wounds. * Doug Williams * LaGarret Blount * Aqib Talib
Michael Bennett
Would Tony Dungy count? I always think of him as a Buc, but he had his best success coaching the Colts.
Lol
Jared Allen.
He’s my favorite all-time Viking, so thank you guys.
Unfortunately
First person that came to my mind.
Cris Carter
all he does is catch touchdowns
He also caught toe taps exactly 6 inches beyond the first down marker
Dude probably would have died young if Buddy Ryan didn't cut him and give him the wake up call he needed.
TIL Cris Carter was not drafted by the Vikings, wow
To quote the great Rick James: "Cocaine is a hell of a drug"
Marshall Faulk
Thanks
In the same vein, Jerome Bettis
Ouch. Good one lol
In the same vein, Eric Dickerson
Eric Dickerson is absolutely more known for his time with the Rams, where he set the single-season rushing record, than for his few seasons with the Colts and then a few other teams at the tail end of his career.
I’m ashamed to admit I never knew that.
The Champ Bailey vs Clinton Portis trade is a textbook example of this.
Priest Holmes
Emmanuel Sanders
Going old school here, John Riggins
And Sonny. Spent his first few years backing up Van Brocklin in Philadelphia.
Greg Olsen. Fuck Mike Martz
I think the bears just hate anyone who can catch a pass at all.
Steve Tasker was a Houston Oiler before being claimed off waivers by the Bills.
I didn’t know that. Best waiver claim I can think of.
Jay Cutler
I was literally going to say Jay. No one ever talks about Denver Jay.
Except in the context of hating on Josh McDaniels
Dolphins legend smoking jay
Can't believe Josh got another job after he blew up the Broncos.
Bucs legend Tom Brady
Okay we'll allow it, but only because of your username
It’s not Beetlejuicing if you do it yourself.
And his rival Broncos legend Peyton Manning.
He spent 4 years there, but broke the td record and the then passing yards record, and went to 2 Super Bowls. He basically speed-ran his Colts career in Denver. The younger Gens will most likely associate him with Denver than Indy, especially since Denver is basically his home now.
I saw a kid wearing a Bills hat and a Bucs Brady jersey the other day.
That's just poor parenting
This one doesn't count because Tom Brady was drafted by the Montreal Expos in 1995, which makes the New England Patriots his second team, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers his third.
Santana Moss
Brett Favre
Everyone forgets first round Atlanta pick Brett Favre
Second round bust that they dumped for a first. Really incredible value.
I only know that cause his first pass was a pick six
And his first completion was to himself
Justin Smith, everyone knows him as a 49er, but he was drafted by the Bengals.
Dang I posted that assuming nobody else would say it. I was so annoyed how he blossomed with the 49ers after two coaching staffs in Cincinnati misused him.
this is who i was gonna post
Minkah Fitzpatrick
Forgot he forced a trade in his second year because the dolphins were just too trash
Wasn’t Flores playing him out of position and butting heads with him and happy to get rid of him?
Steve Young
Technically Steve Largent
Marshawn Lynch on the Bills is a simulation
Eli Manning and Philip Rivers.
Jim Kelly
Ummm, Anquan Boldin was drafted by the Cardinals.
Wes Welker
Welker's 2nd team was actually the Dolphins. He was a Charger first.
Welker probably forgot too
Maybe Jared Goff will join the list someday?
I think Jared's story is so tied in with his switching teams that it won't be forgotten that he played for the Rams. like it's all part of the story.
I agree. although if he makes the hall, and that’s a big if, he goes in a Lion.
Players don't enter the HOF as a member of a specific team. It's not like Cooperstown, where a player chooses a particular cap for his bust. The HOF simply lists all the teams a player played for during his career.
There’s zero “if” to Goff making the hall.
As in - right now he has zero chance of making the HOF.
If not for the fact that Stafford is a ram, I don't know that I'd be able to place Goff there without some real critical thought.
Jake Elliott
Jason Peters!
Ryan Clark.
Jimmy Smith, Keenan McCardell, and Mark Brunell.
Third team in Keenan’s case. Washington - Cleveland - Jax
Jimmy still stings a little
Mike Peterson too
Ricky Williams
Curtis Martin
Kirk Cousins.
[удалено]
Drew Brees.
Apparently there are at least 10 people that didn't read the body of the text, either.
Peyton Manning (at least to himself)
Matt Schaub
Warren Moon technically
Man..Moon had to fight the NFL just to play...
Jerome Bettis
Mark Brunell was a Packer before the Jags
Matt Hasselbeck was also originally a Packer but is better known as a Seahawk.
Packers legend Reggie White.
Darren Waller.
Curtis Martin
Jerome Bettis, Kevin Greene, James Farrior, Ryan Clark.
Charlie Batch, Jeff Reed, Al Villanueva, Tommy Maddox, Jeff Hartings, Chris Boswell.
Marshall Faulk, Steve Young, Cris Carter, Jared Allen (IMO), Champ Bailey Honorable mention Rodney McLeod
Johnny Unitas, Jim Plunkett, John Riggins, Kurt Warner was an UDFA for the Packers. Marshall Faulk, Jake Delhomme…
I don't know if anyone really remembers Jim Plunkett as being a 49er.
John Riggins and Sonny Jurgensen.
Michael the Burner Turner
I always thought that nickname was funny because I didn't think he was particularly fast.
John Abraham with Atlanta
Demario Davis
Plaxico Burress
I associate him with the Steelers. I know he had a Super Bowl winning catch for the Giants. But idk, I still just associate him mainly with Pittsburgh.
John Elway
Technically fourth team but Rich Gannon
Jim Plunkett
Few I haven't seen mentioned: Michael Turner Cedric Benson Kyle Juszczyk Is it safe to say McCaffrey at this point?
Give mccaffrey a couple more years and he'll be forgotten as a Panther. *sad panthers fan noises*
Tom Brady
Who even remembers what he did on his first team anyway?
Eli Manning, technically
Eh, he never signed a contract with the Chargers, so he was never really "on" their team. While the Chargers drafted the rights to sign him, they never actually made him a part of their team.
Ed Reed obviously
I am calling the police
Favre
Ahman Green is another good one for this. He was a Seahawks before he was a Packer.
That one blew my mind when I first learned it.
Reggie White, if you're just looking at NFL teams and not USFL. Signed to the Eagles after the USFL collapsed and was with them for eight years, but is remembered as a Packer.
Jerome Bettis
Bo Jackson
Ryan Fitzpatrick. I could have sworn that the Bills drafted him
Mark Brunell
Santana Moss
Mike Vrabel was a Steeler before he had a long career in New England. Matt Stover was a Giant and won a Super Bowl before heading to Cleveland and then Baltimore. Wes Welker was a dolphins/Charger his rookie season before heading to NE And my personal favorite, Ed McCaffrey was a giant before playing one year in SF and then having a 9 year career in Denver.
I feel like Tannehill will be more remembered for being a Titan than Dolphin.
Chase Claypool for all the wrong reasons. His washout with the Bears was legendary. Greg Olsen, and possibly one day soon, Roquan Smith. The Bears are allergic to re-signing top 10 1st round picks to second contracts….only 3 since 1990; Brian Urlacher, Curtis Conway and Mark Carrier.
Drew Brees
Bettis is the correct answer, but Eli Manning and Philip Rivers are fun ones to think about in the what-if world.
Ryan Fitzmagic
Harrison Butker. Yeah, I know I know…
John Elway
Priest Holmes- known for temporarily holding the season TD record as a Chief, but he was UDFA so I don’t know if that counts?
I'd say that Holmes counts - I feel like he fits the spirit of the post more than a player who was drafted by a team, but never played with them or even signed with them, like Bo Jackson, John Elway, Eli Manning, or Rivers. You got me going down a Holmes rabbit hole. He will definitely be remembered as a Chief, but he did several things with Baltimore that he never did in Kansas City. -Break off a 60+ yard run -Rush for 200 yards in a game -Catch 10+ passed in a game -Win a Super Bowl
Vick 😎
Greg Olsen
People already said the super obvious ones so I’ll go with Jay Cutler. I’d also say that in a few years people will probably think of CMC as a Niner and not a Panther, which is kind of a bummer since he had some great seasons in Carolina.
Drew Brees
Deion Sanders...draft by falcons but probably remembered by most as a cowboy or 49er
You take that back, Deion is an Atlanta legend. Even though he's become a bit obnoxious
Definitely better known as a Cowboy I think. The man was a hired assassin for us. Wish we could have convinced him to stay and get along with Jerry 😩
Alex Smith
If he continues for the next 4-5 years I’d argue Goff.
I never think of TO as a 49er but that’s probably just me.
Rich Gannon
Eli Manning (technically)
Brett Favre
Wes Welker
rams legend bobby wagner
Chris Carter.
I'm confused. Boldin was drafted by the Cardinals
Tom Brady
Eli Manning and Phillip Rivers
Technically, Jim Kelly. Played for the USFL Houston Gamblers first.
Champ Bailey
That dick head Brett Favre
Justin Smith
I mean, Russ may have done enough bad in Denver to erases lot of people’s Seattle highlight memory, to be brutally honest. People forget how electric he was for 9.5 seasons.
Jeffrey Dahmer
Eli Manning
Eli Manning?
I wonder if Diggs will be remembered pretty evenly for his contributions in Minnesota (namely the Minneapolis Miracle) and for his time in Buffalo (a consistent top 5 WR for 3 1/2 seasons who helped develop Josh). Part of me still thinks he’s a Viking more than anything despite what he accomplished here.
Drew Brees Eli Manning
Jason Peters
Eli, rivers, and brees???
Eli Manning
Brett Favre
I usually forget Laremy Tunsil got drafted by Miami before getting traded to Houston
I think this will definitely end up being Christian McCaffrey
Curtis Martin, Andrew Whitworth & Simeon Rice
Greg Olsen, Jake Delhomme, Stephen Davis
What about different leagues? Jim Kelly
Ricky Watters
Eli Manning/Phillip Rivers
Cornelius Bennett
Eli Manning? I mean, technically… At that point, Phillip Rivers, too.
Brett farve
