I have read many articles on this site over the past year or so and I love them all. I was hoping I could return the favor. The plan here is to provide some solid reading material, while also encouraging some intellectual discourse.
This article, as the title clearly indicates, is for me to put forth whom I believe are the top three players at every position in Seahawks history. I had specific criteria I used when creating these lists, they are as follows:
1) The player had to have been on Seattle for more than one season
2) The player had to have had good seasons on the Seahawks and not with another team (sorry Jerry Rice)
The list is after the jump.......
QB
3) Jon Kitna
1) Dave Krieg
Honorable Mention: Jim Zorn
RB
3) Chris Warren
2) Curt Warner
Honorable Mention: John L. Williams
WR
1) Steve Largent
Honorable Mention: Brian Blades
TE
3) Itula Mili
1) John Carlson
Honorable Mention: Christian Fauria
DE
3) Chris Clemons
2) Michael Sinclair
1) Jacob Green
Honorable Mention: Patrick Kerney
DT
2) Joe Nash
1) Cortez Kennedy
Honorable Mention: John Randle
LB
3) Anthony Simmons
2) Terry Wooden
1) Chad Brown
Honorable Mention: Lofa Tatupu
CB
1) Dave Brown
Honorable Mention: Willie Williams
S
3) John Harris
2) Eugene Robinson
1) Kenny Easley
Honorable Mention: Darryl Williams
So as you can see I left off offensive linemen and special teams players because I feel that on one hand it's hard to choose offensive linemen over time periods (though it's obvious that Jones and Hutch would be top of their respective positions) and with special teamers I feel it's silly to say that so and so was a better punter than so and so. Unless you have a Ray Guy does it really matter?
So there you have it folks, my opinion (most of which was based on my recollection of their talent) on how things seem to be in the annals of Hawk's history. Feel free to tell me where I went wrong (especially you older fans) as I would love to learn something new from this.
