Joe Hamilton should be second team! Ward and Jackson should not be listed at all. Rivers and Ryan had better careers than Ward and Jackson.
 
I would say whoever made this list is an FSU homer, but then it doesn't have Deion anywhere, and return specialists are specifically called out on here. It must be an FSU homer born after 1995.

I’d say it’s made by a Clemson fan. It’s drenched in recency bias

From the article:

A few caveats: We only considered seasons in which the players were members of the ACC, so no Deion Sanders or Michael Vick or anyone from the 2001 Miami Hurricanes. Secondly, we attempted to consider the era, too. QB stats in 1970 don't make for an apples-to-apples comparison with those from 2018. The goal was a representation of all the great eras of ACC football, so numbers weren't the only metric used. Lastly, some résumés are still being written, so Lawrence, Travis Etienne, Bryce Hall and Andre Szmyt might well end up among the ACC's greats, but until their careers are over, we're not ready to add their names to the history books.
 
Jackson over Joe Ham seems questionable. I’m not too crazy upset with anything else. D-Mo probably has an argument but I bet a lot of others feel the same.
 
Keith Brooking? I dunno. That's a hard list to compile.
 
it's a hard list to do. I was expecting to see Marco Coleman. And agree with Durant Brooks comment.
 
Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson are WAY overrated
How so? Jackson won the Heisman, and Watson passed for over 800 yards in 2 national championship games against Alabama at a time that Clemson was still overmatched from a talent perspective.

IF you're thinking Joe Hamilton should be in there, I disagree. He's probably 4th or 5th behind those 3 and maybe Phillip Rivers.
 
Refrigerator Perry is not on the list, either. Depite the Mover owning him, he was a consensus All-American as a Junior and won a National Championship.

I always thought of him as an all-time great but he was before my time so I don't fully know.
 
Butker is no where near the third all time best kicker in ACC history. Some of you guys are ridiculous with your homerism
Last time I checked this was GT fan forum. Don’t get ass marks on our brand new door.

Who said third? He, Joe, Keith, Burnett, et al should all be on first team. You need more juice.
