I just thought we could debate this such as which teams has had the best history of having multiple greats at a certain position.
Quarterbacks
Cowboys have to be way up there with Staubach, Aikman, White, Romo and looks like we will be able to eventually throw in Dak but it's too early for that today. That's a long history of good to great QBs. Denver has had Elway and Peyton. I think by a hair I'd go 49ers with Montana Young.
Receivers
It's hard to go against Rice and TO. I hate giving these to 49ers. A close second I'd say Vikings with Moss and Carter. Irvin Witten and TO is pretty good if you throw in Tight Ends. There's not a lot of teams that have had multiple great receivers. Hines Ward and Lynn Swann and you could throw in Antonio Brown deserve a mention for the Steelers.
Running Backs
I'm going Cowboys #1 here, Emmitt Smith, Tony Dorsett, Hershel Walker and Zeke looks to be another great. Bears deserve a mention with Walter Payton and Gale Sayers. Raiders Bo Jackson Marcus Allen, Rams with Dickerson, Faulk and Stephen Jackson, Bills with OJ Simpson and Thurman Thomas. Steelers Franco Harris, Jerome Bettis and Bell for the present/future.
Feel free to make your own list and you can do other positions such as defense if you'd like. Obviously this is just my opinion of players I've seen since watching since the 80's and having some familiarity with players in the 70's. I am not knowledgeable about much before that.
