Is that your list?

Charlie Garner needs to have at least one year in there

Manning was a pro bowler that year and garner was not
Garner was All Pro that year and was a big reason the Raiders made the Super Bowl. Not sure why he wasn't a pro bowler, which isn't as significant as All Pro

@golfballvol edit: Garner opted out of 2002 Pro Bowl. His replacement was none other than Travis HenryšŸ˜‰

Peyton and Reggie kind of knock out some deserving folks, but when you're arguably the best to ever play in the league at your position, that's going to knock some deserving folks out. (EDIT not trying to start another Peyton v Tom debate).

I believe Carl Pickens had most, if not all, Bengals receiving records when he retired and played in 95 and 96 Pro Bowls, but was he better than Reggie or Dale those years? Probably not.

03 Jamal vs Peyton is a coin flip. 2000 yards rushing vs co-MVP. I THINK I'd lean Jamal bc 2000 yards rushing has only been done 9 times, but it's hard to argue against league MVP.

MAN we used to send some DUDES to the league.

That year he also set the then record of 275 yards rushing in one game, against Cleveland (broken by Adrian Peterson by 1 yard I think a year or two later). I'm voting Jamal for that year.
