Sports change. Being dominant in your own era is pretty much the only real measure of greatness in my opinion. Comparing across eras is fun for discussion but there really is no right or wrong answer. Mostly people have a recency bias anyway, either positive or negative. To some there will never be another Secretariat or Jim Brown, while others think Gun Runner and Sidney Crosby are the best ever.

LOL. Yes how you compare Johnny U to Tom Brady? you only can go when you have seen or saw tapes.
and you are also correct, there are no right or wrong answers. Its ones persons opinion.
You make your case; others make theirs and thats it the great unsolved.
Thanks CJ for the clarity in thought.
