AFL All-Time Team

I would switch out Cook for Namath since he did win THE biggest game in AFL history.

Agreed. I don't think you would pick Cook (off one season) over a presumably healthy Namath.

What if you had to win one game with AFL players, how differently would your team look when compared to an "all-time" team? Here is who I would have:

QB: Greg Cook
HB: Clem Daniels
FB: Cookie Gilchrist
WR: Lance Alworth
WR: Don Maynard
TE: Fred Arbanas
OT: Jim Tyrer
OT: Ron Mix
OG: Billy Shaw
OG: Gene Upshaw
C: Jim Otto

DE: Earl Faison
DE: Jerry Mays
DT: Buck Buchanan
DT: Tom Sestak
OLB: George Webster
OLB: Bobby Bell
MLB: Willie Lanier
CB: Willie Brown
CB: Emmitt Thomas
SS: Ken Houston
FS: Johnny Robinson

K: Jan Stenerud
P: Jerrell Wilson

Rich Jackson over Mays, Ernie Ladd over Buchanan

My first thought was to go with Namath, but then what if the opposing team had Tommy Janik in their secondary?

Forgot about Jackson (guess I should pay more attention to earlier posts in this thread). Buchanan was dominant in the latter part of the decade when AFL competition was stronger, but I haven't seen much of Ladd in his prime. How do his sack numbers compare to Buchanan?

Obscure reference, but very apropos ....Excellent!
