Discussion: Best NFL Brothers

[Mr Janny]

Who are the best brothers in NFL history?


This isn't as cut and dried as I thought it might have been

 

[Mr Janny]

Clay and Bruce Matthews are pretty tought to beat, as are the Manning boys. But I didn't realize that Jamie and Darren Sharper were brothers.

What...no mention of the Hambrick brothers? This list is seriously flawed.

 

[cybsball20]

I'm pretty partial to the Peterson brothers, (Mike and the other Adrian).

From a longevity standpoint it would have to be the Mathews brothers. From a mutual success standpoint the Mannings each have a Superbowl ring.

What does it say about me that I read that headline as "Best NFL Brothels"?

It says you are a Eugene Robinson fan.

Ya I was thinking the Mannings too, even though I hate Eli (Im an Eagles fan), although another top contending duo would have to be the Barbers... Rondes been a stud his whole career and Tiki even though he decided to hang em up early was an awesome back during the short time he played!

You might hate Eli, but you'd have him QB your team in a second (especially if something happened to McNabb), wouldn't you...

Id rather have Ty Detmer, Koy Detmer, Bubby Brister, Doug Pedersen, Rodney Pete, or any other ****** QB theyve had in the last 15 years come back rather than Eli if that tells you how bad I hate him

Kickers? Really? He said football players!!

 

[candg4ever]

For longevity, solid contributions year after year, and pro bowls, it's gotta be the Matthew brothers.

They're not even the best kicker brothers, which would be the Gogolak's, Pete & Charley (first soccer style kickers in NFL).

Sterling & Shannon Sharpe?

Merlin & Phil Olson (part of Ram's "Fearsome Foursome")?

Gene & Marvin Upshaw?

LeRoy & Dewey Selman?

We wouldn't have beat Iowa two years ago without a kicker.

 

[Mr Janny]

Sterling and Shannon Sharpe- Shannon, no doubt is top notch, but Sterling's career was cut too short.

I think this list can be trimmed down to the Mannings, Matthews, and Barbers.

 

[GaryJohnson]

Brett Favre and his younger, lesser-known brother Morty.

 

[ICCYFAN]

I think this list can be trimmed down to the Mannings, Matthews, and Barbers.

Bruce Matthews in in the HOF and Peyton is a sure-fire selection; none of the other four are locks...I'm guessing you're pretty young if that's your final list...
