NFL Union's All-Time Team- Watch for the Part 2 Thread soon.

That's right, we have a project on our hands. Instead of going with the customary Player Elimination format to decide our favorites, we are going to create the NFL Union's All-Time Team.This is going to take a pretty long time. Every former NFL player is eligible, though some are obviously more worthy to make the team. Noactive players, please. As eager as I am to place Brett Favre on our All-Time Team, he is not retired yet.This is how it will work:I will state a position, such as Quarterback, Linebacker, Center, etc. For the next 24 hours, the floor is open to anyone, Officer or Recruit, for discussion and submission of candidates. To submit your candidates, simply create a list of whom you believe are the best 8-10 historic players at that position(not necessarily in order).The Officers and myself will then review each list. When at least 2, preferably 3 Officers have come to a consensus on which submitted list is the best, those players will become the candidates at that position. An Officer cannot approve his own list(meaning 2-3 other Officers must approve of it) and the approval period will not extend beyond 24 hours. If no consensus has been reached by the deadline, I will make the call.After the candidates for one position have been named, we'll move on to the next position.Once candidates for each position have been named, Step One will be completed. Step Two will consist of narrowing the candidates, and Step Three will decide the All-Time Team, but I will not discuss the details of those steps at this time. That would just add length to an already lengthy post.Things to remember: - Make your lists diverse in time period. I guarantee that not all of history's best QBs came in the 80's and 90's, so don't forget about the guys that played before that.- You'll probably get an NFLUPS point just for submitting a list, and the list we pick will get 3 more. So it's in your best interest to help create this team.- Don't submit a list that has already been posted. It's not worth your time. If you do find that the list you want to post is already here, try changing one or two players to make it more diverse.- Different positions may require slightly different protocol, as more players from that position will make the team.We'll start tomorrow, hopefully. For now, the floor is open for your thoughts, questions, etc.

Alright, every position has it's candidates now. Since we're getting much closer to start of the season, and since it'll probably be more convenient and efficient anyway, I'm condensing Parts 2 and 3. We'll start that either today or tommorrow, probably today, just to give first spot a little more time.

Thanks to all of you for participating in Part 1 of the NFL Union's All-Time Team Search.
