Sadly, there are several HOUSTON Oilers on this list.
QB – Warren Moon
Backup – Dan Fouts
Active and frustrated – Drew Brees(notes)
Moon edges Fouts in a very tough decision. Fouts was part of the great Air Coryell offenses that helped usher in the modern passing game. However, Moon played 23 years in professional football and would have done so much more if he hadn’t spent the first six years of his career toiling in the CFL, winning five titles there before the NFL came to the realization that he probably should have been drafted by somebody in 1978. Like Fouts, Moon has some stunning numbers, but his best chance of reaching a Super Bowl was foiled when Buffalo and Frank Reich staged the greatest postseason comeback in 1993.

Included on this list:
QB - Warren Moon
RB - Earl Campbell
WR - Charlie Joiner (yeah, it's not his Oiler career that puts him here, I know)
DE - Elvin Bethea
S - Ken Houston
P - Greg Montgomery
Anyone missed? I'm thinking Mike Munchak should have maybe been considered. Bruce Matthews, of course, is ineligible since he reached the Super Bowl with the Titans. Tough to squeeze in others like Ray Childress, Robert Brazile. Who else?
