JB...and it's not even close.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Diamond Ferri

 

[retro44]

Ernie Davis......there I said it

 

[RF2044]

Brown, and it isn't even close.

 

[retro44]

Diamond Ferri.

Boston College might agree,as for the rest of the world:noidea:

 

[OrangeCrush22]

Jim Brown no doubt.

 

[Delmar]

Ernie Davis because of the Heisman and the NC is most beloved.

Jim Brown, however, is regarded in these here parts as the greatest football player in history.

Syracuse is top 10 (at least) in nfl hall of famers.

Jim Brown is still in the mix greatest football player of all time

John Mackey has the TE award named after him for a reason

Eanie Davis first African American heisman winner

Marvin Harrison retired with multiple career wr records

Gary Anderson argument for best Pk in nfl history

Cszonka and DJ two of the best FBs in NFL history

Syracuse is the 15th winningest program in Division 1-A college football history
Only USC (11), ND (10), Pittsburgh (8), UM (8) and Ohio St (8) have more members in the Pro Football Hall of Fame than Syracuse (7)
Syracuse is one of 16 BCS schools with at least 18 representatives in the College Football Hall of Fame

Without Jim there is no Ernie, Heisman, or National Championship. Floyd never comes, and the legend of 44 never happens.

Billy Cannon or Kevin Faulk? Or Charles Alexander?

We should have two or three more hall of famers in the next decade too.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

YA Tittle.

 

[bevosu]

It would be between Ernie Davis and Jim Brown.

Ernie was a great college player and I think he would have been a great pro player, but Jim Brown is without a doubt the greatest pro running back of all time.

Jim Brown.

Jim Brown should have won the heisman. That isn't a strike / black mark against him.

 

[CuseCPT]

My freshmen year was also McNabb's so I'm pretty much a McNabb superfan. Half my favorite Dome memories involve Mcnabb and even I would say Jim Brown without even thinking about it.

 

[Shark58]

fun fact: only 1 of them came here on a football scholarship

 

[jgeorge322]

Dwight the fright may be my favorite player of them all, but legend wise, jb and its not debatable really.

 

[brandokc]

Barry Baker the touchdown maker

 

[shizzah]

Donovan McNabb was the man. He actually made me like the nfl again - details of why -won't bore the board with right now.
But will say this - he was my favorite, the most exciting...he revived a disastrous franchise...and I will never forgive or forget that a particular franchise didn't give him enough credit for it.


Sorry to get on a tangent - Jim Brown is the best player in football history so Donovan loses that. But McNabb, irrespective of his recent moronic ventures...was (with Freeney right there) the best 'Cuse player I've ever seen.

 

[Briancuse]

Jim Brown is considered the greatest football player of all time, its really not even debatable.

And we're one of, what, 7 schools with a title in Football and Basketball.

Close. 8

 

[CuseOnly]

Jim Brown is without a doubt the greatest football player of all time, possibly the best mutli-sport athlete of all time. Not even close really.
