Who was the best Notre Dame football player in the last 50 years? - Rocket91 - 3:24pm 5/24/17 (88) [View All]
- Good Question - Easy Answer - murph92675 - 10:59am 5/28/17
- Bettis. Best fullback in history of CFB. - bbkingfish - 11:35am 5/27/17
  - Bettis was very good but no where near the Rocket. He also fumbled a little too much especially - THEISMANCARR - 7:54pm 5/29/17
  - When my list comes out you're going to be very upset [NT] - Rocket91 - 5:07pm 5/27/17
- Tony Rice, Ross Browner [NT] - pvm71 - 4:47pm 5/26/17

- Bettis and Brooks [NT] - jimbasil - 2:21pm 5/25/17
- My vote is Rocket as well. Speed yes, but perhaps more importantly, vision and acceleration. - NedoftheHill - 2:20pm 5/25/17
  - I think the Rocket was the last time Notre Dame had "the guy" in college football - Rocket91 - 3:45pm 5/25/17

- Your namesake, the Rocket. Easily the one that most teams had to game plan for. - THEISMANCARR - 11:44am 5/25/17
  - Agree with most of what you said, except this: Didn't Rocket make a ton of money by going to Canada? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 2:09pm 5/25/17
    - He did. - ND_in_DRO - 2:49pm 5/25/17

        The alleged clip was not a clip. - ND_in_DRO - 7:12pm 5/25/17
        Agree on all counts. Bush Push hurts, too. It's illegal or it's not. It was then; now it's not. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 11:04pm 5/30/17
- Mr. Alan Page [NT] - SBNIRISH - 10:53am 5/25/17

- Tommy Rees.... way underrated. [NT] [IMAGE] - ndficoop - 11:37pm 5/24/17
- Other greats I haven't seen mentioned: Luther Bradley, Aaron Taylor, Bryant Young, Ken MacAfee, - MAS - 11:25pm 5/24/17
- I would say Tim Brown probably was the best, with Tony Rice a close 2nd [NT] - DonMiller - 9:58pm 5/24/17
- Raghib Ismail [NT] [LINK] - AlbanyIRISH - 9:40pm 5/24/17
- Offense: Montana; Defense: Zibby [NT] - faircatchcorby - 9:26pm 5/24/17
  - No way. Joe was good in college but not great, I am sure you said Zibby as a joke, he was a good - THEISMANCARR - 11:47am 5/25/17
  - laughable [NT] - SBNIRISH - 10:57am 5/25/17
  - Montana was not a great college QB. Theismann was clearly the better college QB. - MAS - 11:15pm 5/24/17
    - Perhaps, but I find him to be a great NOTRE DAME quarterback. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 1:14pm 5/25/17
    - Agree that Theisman was the better college quarterback - fedman - 2:48am 5/25/17
    - Agree that Theisman was the better college quarterback - fedman - 2:48am 5/25/17
  - you think Zibby was better than Todd Lyght or Jeff Burris? I love Zibby but to say he was the best? [NT] - DonMiller - 9:38pm 5/24/17
    - How many punts did Lyght and Burris return? [NT] - faircatchcorby - 1:13pm 5/25/17
      - No punt returns for Lyght, but... [LINK] - ndunabomber - 2:42pm 5/25/17
        There is a case to be made for Zibby against Lyght, not Burris though - Rocket91 - 4:06pm 5/25/17
    - ZIbby is not even in the top 5 of DBs, much less the entire defense - ND_in_DRO - 11:40pm 5/24/17
- Bob Keuchenberg probably was the best offensive lineman, but Sam Young had an incredible career atND [NT] - DonMiller - 8:47pm 5/24/17
  - Sam Young was marginal at best, IMO. On a goal line stand - faircatchcorby - 10:28pm 5/25/17
  - Sam Young? - ND_in_DRO - 11:46pm 5/24/17
- Without question, Ross Browner - ndunabomber - 8:40pm 5/24/17
  - TOTALLY unbelievable and the best defensive player [NT] - OHIrish - 8:31pm 5/29/17
  - Who else starred on two National Championship teams? [NT] - Curly1918 - 2:12pm 5/26/17
    - Oppps... I forgot about Luther Bradley... sorry [NT] - Curly1918 - 2:14pm 5/26/17
  - I was named after this man :) [NT] - BTAYLOR21 - 12:46pm 5/26/17
  - Agree it is Ross Browner - fedman - 2:16pm 5/25/17
  - Ross Browner is my choice too. [NT] - michiganirish - 1:22pm 5/25/17
  - It terms of personal dominance, yes - Curly1918 - 6:47am 5/25/17

  - Ghost to the post was the best tight end ever at ND when tight ends were not even known. He turned - THEISMANCARR - 11:51am 5/25/17
- best receivers I ve seen are Tim Brown and Rocket Ismail [NT] - DonMiller - 8:21pm 5/24/17
- Paul Horning was the best FB player ND ever had. But were other good ones. Montana is second [NT] - Hank the Tank - 8:21pm 5/24/17
  - How is it possible that you get everything wrong? Hornung is one of the most overrated players... - MAS - 11:11pm 5/24/17
    - Absolutely Ridiculous Statement on Your Part - fedman - 2:37pm 5/26/17
    - Wrong. Hornung could do everything including being one of the best blocking backs ever. - THEISMANCARR - 11:53am 5/25/17
- defensively i would say Bob Crable with consideration to Ross Browner, Manti T'eo and Bob Golic [NT] - DonMiller - 8:09pm 5/24/17
  - Crable my favorite linebacker of all time. He was absolutely the surest tackler who hit like a tank. - THEISMANCARR - 11:57am 5/25/17
- in terms of running backs Reggie Brooks in 92 had the best "season", but Autry Denson best career [NT] - DonMiller - 7:50pm 5/24/17
- Alton Maiden [NT] - Gower - 7:45pm 5/24/17

- I can only speak to the last 30 years. - ND_in_DRO - 3:49pm 5/24/17
  - I would add Kevin McDougal and Jeff Burris to that list [NT] - irish93 - 4:39pm 5/24/17
    - Agree with Burris - ND_in_DRO - 11:47pm 5/24/17
    - Burris is a really good one [NT] - Rocket91 - 4:59pm 5/24/17
