I'd give the Seahawks the edge at QB. Russell Wilson is the type of dynamic playmaker that Brunell no longer was in 1999.

 

At RB and WR, it's pretty hard not to give the edge to the Jaguars.

 

I'd call TE a draw. Zach Miller was no longer an elite player in 2013, and Pete Mitchell never really was elite, but he was good for a few years there.

 

Along the OL, Boselli was by far the best on either team. After that, I'd give the edge at LG and C to Seattle, RG and RT to the Jaguars. That said, Okung is a better player than Leon Searcy ever was, and if he played the right side, it'd be no contest. Overall, I think the Seahawks have a slight edge on the line.

 

The DL goes to Seattle on depth. Brackens was probably the best player on either team's defensive line, and Gary Walker played at a very high level as well, but the Seahawks have/had a rotating cast of solid players that they could plug in anywhere to keep everyone fresh for the entire game. The Jaguars were lacking in depth behind the starters.

 

LB goes to Seattle, and it's not even close.

 

The 1999 secondary may well have been the best in Jaguars' history, but we still didn't have anyone near the caliber of Richard Sherman or Earl Thomas back there. Seahawks.

 

Special teams would go to the Seahawks as well. Steve Hauschka made 33/35 that year and had the type of booming leg needed to handle all kicking duties. Mike Hollis had a good year as well, hitting 31 of 38, but Hauschka nailed three from beyond 50 while Hollis only attempted one from that range. Bryan Barker was Mr. Reliable, and I'd go with him over Jon Ryan, and the returners were pretty much a wash.

 

I think Seattle would win the game. Brunell didn't have the mobility to escape their pass rush at that point, and that may well have been the deciding factor. The Seahawks' 2013 defense was, imo, one of the all-time greats, and I believe that constant rotation on the DL would have kept Brunell off balance, and the secondary would have been able to single-cover everyone except Jimmy Smith. If they'd put Sherman and Thomas on Smith, they could have limited his effectiveness. The Jaguars' 1999 D was outstanding, but remember how easily Steve McNair shredded it in the 41-14 game, then how he sliced it open with his feet in the AFCCG? Russell Wilson is, imo, better than McNair was, he had a better supporting cast in Seattle than McNair did in Tennessee, and he would have been able to carry the Seahawks to a close win.
