You have $15 to create your Michigan Football leaders

Thought this was kind of a fun exercise, even if it is the Freep. Don't worry, no clickthroughs. 

 

 

My 5: Brady, Wheatley, Carter, Woodson, Crisler.

Who are your 5? Anybody you'd add or change?

This is going to sound ridiculous, but I am surprised to see there was a near-unanimous vote for Woodson. Granted, I love Chuck as much as the next guy, but Dave Brown seems like the biggest "steal" of the entire listing. Granted, he never won a Heisman, but he was a multi-year All American, a great kick / punt returner, and a lock-down Safety who wasn't afraid to lay out a running back. I'm surprised more people didn't pick him and pocket the $4 to spend elsewhere. 

 

I also found it difficult to separate a player's NFL performance from their college performance. Again, I love Tom Brady, but I think I'd be hard pressed to say he was one of the five best QBs ever at UM. He's been one of the five best NFL QBs ever, but his time at UM was somewhat spotty except for the last game!

 

There were some other surprises, like Bo being the top Coach, Mike Hart being the #1 Tailback, and Braylon being ahead of AC...but - overall - this is a fun game! I wish I could debate the relative ordering of players / coaches over some beers!
