Trash lists from all of you. Wirfs is already on Bucs Mt Rushmore and is rapidly approaching Brooks status. 

Wirfs has only played in five seasons. He's not on Rushmore yet. He needs to continue his dominance for a few more years to be on Rushmore and get in the HOF.  If he blows out his ACL tomorrow and never recovers, he's neither at this point. I will say I was surprised nobody listed him before I did.

But step up the plate, slugger.

 

I will say this, through his first 5 seasons, Wirfs is the best Buccaneer of all time. But true, long way to go.

Love Tristan, but Paul Gruber was pretty special, for a long time. Agree with Biggs, he just toiled on some terrible teams.

Some solid lists.

id say the biggest debate is Brady. 

quite the short stint but his impact on and off the field cannot be understated. He changed the organization forever in his what, 3 years? Is it crazy to put him at 1? Even players like gronk Antonio brown same thing. Top 10 worthy? Probably not but both very impactful in a short term as well.

im biased towards Dunn, he’s the reason I’m a fan. My psn is Bucs55Brooks so he’s gotta be in my top 3.

from the first sb team certainly barber brooks lynch rice is close, shame both him and David will never sniff canton. Both deserve it. David has 1 pro bowl but 3 all pros. Not many can say they have more all pros than pro bowls, but the pb is and has always been just a popularity contest anyway.

alstott arguably the best fb of all time and just fun as hell to watch.

Statistically, he's not in the same category as Tristan.  As of today, through 5 years, we have an all-time tackle on our team.  I mean like Walter Jones level good.  Gruber was a great Buc but not in the same category as Tristan, even if Tristan never played another down.

He was steady & consistent, and pretty special to watch. Just as the team was starting to peak, his career ended due to an injury.

I would agree that Tristan certainly looks to be a better athlete, and has potential to play for a long time. I didn’t rank Gruber in my top 10, I just had him in my honorable mention’s due to his consistency & great play over a long tough period.

Hard to watch a guy like Gruber work so hard for 11 years (never missing a snap for his first 5 years), for one of the worst owners and teams in the franchise’s history - not get at least get a mention.

Tristan has been fantastic for the last 4 years. Tristan pick was rockstar level, but he’s played for some Super teams and some good teams - and he fits with the talent around him.

Pretty sure he makes the Mount Rushmore list in the next few years.

Hard to understate how dysfunctional the Bucs were around the time we drafted Gruber. 

in those years we drafted never-to-Buc Bo Jackson, traded away Steve Young and drafted Vinny T, which made Gruber the obvious choice.

The OP put Brady on his list.  He only played three seasons with the Bucs.  It's the OPs rules.  Whatever they are it doesn't include longevity as a Buc apparently.

It (longevity) can be a component, but if so certainly being THE reason for our team winning another Super Bowl (and helped establish a culture) can be another, more impactful, component to Brady being on any Buc fans top 10 list.
