Best in Franchise History

[Poobah]

Pro Football Weekly recently sifted through the annals of NFL history to develop a list of 5 candidates deemed "the best in the history of the franchise". Apparently you can vote on profootballweekly.com for the player you think is the best of the best. They will do one team a week between June 6 and Jan 15, starting with Arizona and finishing with Washington. The Bears candidates are:

LB Dick Butkus 1965-73
HB/DB Red Grange 1925, 1929-34
QB Sid Luckman 1939-50
RB Walter Payton 1975-87
RB Gale Sayers 1965-71

Hey ... where's Bob Avellini? Sweetness here ...

[Poobah]

It's too funny to look at the Ravens and Panthers choices, if you can call them that, and then wander in here and have a mammoth choice.

Payton, but just barely....
