Will Shields - 14 seasons

Walter Payton Man of the Year

Jonathan Ogden - 12 seasons
11 Pro Bowls
9 All-Pro
SB Champ
NFL 2000s All-Decade

Larry Allen - 14 seasons
11 Pro Bowls
7 All-Pro
SB Champ
NFL 1990s & 2000s All-Decade

2 of them have SB rings. It sucks for Shields but that's what put Ogden and Allen over the top.

That's the difference, it appears, but it's stupid. If you put Shields on the one SB team instead of Allen, do you think the result is different?
