Wow, 200 in 14 games

I've had interest in the CFL since the early 1970s when street & smith's would have brief previews of each team in the back of their preseason annuals. While there is certainly an argument for each of the names mentioned i'd rank them Flutie, Allen, Jackson, Moon, Etchevery, Cavillo, Lancaster,...

and not coach's totals Harry Carson, 206, 1978 Randy Gradishar, 197, 1978 Chris Spielman, 195, 1994 all the other numbers you see are coaches numbers---which have generous "assist" totals that make the numbers much higher You're the man, John! So the tally is all of one. Wagner can enter ...

I counted 19 tackles by Blinka while scrolling through the play-by-play. Then, in the stats at the bottom, I see I counted correctly since the statistician listed 15 solo tackles and 4 assisted tackles for Blinka. I also have that game on DVD so I could watch it at some point. It seems that if 26 w...

Oh yeah, we're forgetting all about Jackie Parker, the Sammy Baugh of the North, who might belong above all these guys. He was far inferior as a passer to Etcheverry, Jackson, or Lancaster, but I literally can't figure out anything he didn't do. Pass, run, catch, kick, punt, return, defense... the c...

But he threw over 100 more interceptions than the second highest guy. Yes, that's because he played long enough to accrue all that. But say we forgive him some of the turnovers. Where are the big seasons? Etcheverry had 4723 passing yards in fricking 1956. He turned the ball over plenty too, but the...

Russ Jackson, Ron Lancaster, Doug Flutie and probably Anthony Calvillo. Honorable mention to Sam Etcheverry, Dieter Brock, Warren Moon, Damon Allen and Matt Dunigan. I may be forgetting one or two greats. Bo Levi Mitchell has had the best career of the currently active QBs but has had injuries the ...

Who would you and others put over Allen? And why would he be the first one out considering his unparalleled dual-threat achievements? If I had to leave out one of these guys, personally, it'd be Moon. Russ Jackson, Ron Lancaster... Russ Jackson immediately reminds me of Otto Graham; similar high ef...

I'm surprised there has not been more consideration for Alexander. He really took over games. He was also the MVP and Offensive POY in 2005, almost 11,000 total scrimmage yards for his career. A complete back, very much like Holmes. I think there is a perception that late 90s-early 2000s was an ele...

Nice spreadsheet. How about an OL? George Christensen? I am only good at evaluating OL who I have watched play in their own time, which for me means 21st century. Before that, things like approximate value and All-Pros offer a vague idea, but take me back to the Al Wistert days and I get completely...
