Best Players to NEVER Play in the Super Bowl

Ummmm (scratching head), he played in SB 19. This specifically said "best player to never PLAY in a SB."

Come on, man. This ain't like Granny Gertrude is sipping a ginger ale in the driveway.

Soooo, Booby, I was enlightened by my family members. You input was inept and late. Basically, unnecessary - pretty much like your existence here...

Sterling Sharpe probably shouldn't be on there, he had a very good 3 year stretch from like 93-95 or something. I'm assuming this is during the Super Bowl era so Jim Brown just missed out.
I'm assuming this is retired players, because if not, how isn't AB on there, everyone says he's first ballot HOF'er and the best ever to play WR.

I'm biased as watched Sharpe play at South Carolina. In some ways, he revolutionized the position with the prolific catch seasons and the upper body strength:

From wiki:

"A few years later, in 1992, Sharpe and the new quarterback, Brett Favre, teamed up to become one of the top passing tandems in the league. In the final game of that season he and Favre hooked up for Sharpe's 107th reception of the season which broke the NFL's single-season receptions record, set by Art Monk in 1984. That season, Sharpe became one of only six players in NFL history to win the outright "Triple Crown" at the receiver position: leading the league in receiving yards, receiving touchdowns, and receptions. Ray Flaherty (1932), Don Hutson (1936, 1941–44), Elroy Hirsch (1951), Raymond Berry (1959) led all three categories during the same season in years before the Super Bowl era. Jerry Rice (1990) and Steve Smith Sr. (2005) are the only other players to accomplish this feat since the first Super Bowl season. In the 1993 season Sharpe subsequently broke his own record, with 112 receptions; this also made him the first player to have consecutive seasons catching more than 100 passes. In 1994, his 18 touchdown receptions were the second most in league history at the time, behind Jerry Rice's 22 in 1987. On October 24, 1993, Sharpe became the second Packer in team history to catch four touchdown passes in one game since Don Hutson in 1945."

I call it the Koufax argument..

Fouts is always the 1st great player I think of for not having played in a SB, Marino is the 1st great player I think of when considering a great who has never won one.

Matthews may well be the best OL to ever play. He could play any position on the OL and be All Pro

BermudaDill(do), you needed, per usual, informed, because your football knowledge is so diminished. You actually didn't realize Marino played in a Super Bowl. Quite illuminating. Do you realize he played for Pitt?
And keeping working on your English. Please. You can do it. You don't want to be like Aunt Ilene, sipping a ginger ale on the back porch.
