    Most Productive Regular Season players according to their formula. Does not take into account post-season greatness.

    Groza probably got a lot of those points for his work as all-pro tackle, not just pure kicker.

    True, like I said, it is just one way of looking at things. From a "production standpoint, it is hard to argue with Favre....most attempts/completions/TDs/yards etc." If he had gotten one more title he would be in the discussion for best ever.

    Though he may have more chances can we not say the same about Peyton Manning being considered as the greatest ever?

    Ask this question: Who would you rather have QBing your team. One time winners Peyton or Favre, or Terry Bradshaw/Joe Montana/Tom Brady et al.

    Groza probably got a lot of those points for his work as all-pro tackle, not just pure kicker.

    I tried to figure that out, but when looking at his "sheet" I couldn't tell how they combined his records. They didn't differentiate:
