Re: John Stallorth/Lynn Swann VS Jerry Rice/John Taylor
Thanks! Yeah, that certainly makes more sense. Makes more sense than what, exactly? Your initial snark fail about Taylor making the Pro Bowl as a returner? If anyone cares at this point, Taylor was selected to the Pro Bowl as a WR, pulled out with 'injury', and was replaced by Mark Carrier. Second,...

Re: John Stallorth/Lynn Swann VS Jerry Rice/John Taylor
Dave Meggett was the NFC's Pro Bowl returner in 1989 Taylor didn't play in the game. http://www.nflgsis.com/1989/Post/05/53348/Gamebook.pdf https://newspaperarchive.com/independence-examiner-dec-21-1989-p-10/ This December 21 Pro Bowl roster lists Meggett as the Kick Returner" (I believe only ...

Re: John Stallorth/Lynn Swann VS Jerry Rice/John Taylor
while JT is pretty historically underrated How is John Taylor historically underrated? He was always on TV, his teams always made the postseason, he caught a SB-winning TD pass (his only catch of the game). He made 1 pro bowl as a WR in 1989, and that year he finished ELEVENTH in receiving yards......

Re: John Stallorth/Lynn Swann VS Jerry Rice/John Taylor
I would take the Stallworth/Swann tandem over Rice and Taylor. Rice was a product of the WCO to some degree, and John Taylor's reputation came from one game (a Dec. 1989 MNF game against the Rams) where he had long TD's on short passes against DB's that were falling down. I would take Jerry Rice an...

Re: Hall of Very Good Mention
The only way Aaron Rodgers doesn't get into Canton is if he pulls a Michael Vick. Two-time league MVP, Super Bowl MVP, advanced stats through the roof, threw 13 INTs once, 11 once, every other year less than 10. Perhaps more importantly, the game film backs it up. And I know this isn't supposed to b...

Re: Low Yardage Games, Lots of Touchdowns
I'll have to see a play-by-play to explain Evans' stat line from '83. That's one of the weirdest I've ever seen. I have a book called "Redskins Chronicles" that has recaps of all Skins game from 1937-2008. I'll take a look and see what is written about it. From the box score, Evans had tw...

Re: NFL expansion in Toronto
I also agree Montreal could definitely support an NFL team. Greater Montreal is over 4 million people. The disposable income is there. However it is an extremely fickle sporting town. People forget even the lordly Canadiens nearly bolted for Cleveland at one point.Aside from the early 80's the Expo...

Re: Predict 3 shocking developments...
Stadium economics will change the way football is organized. No new stadiums will be built for just a single football team. The Jaguars will move to London, where they will share a stadium with the "other" kind of football. Another team will move to Mexico City for the same reason. Chicago...

Re: NFL expansion in Toronto
Montreal couldn't hold an MLB team, and Vancouver couldn't hold onto their NBA team either. Montreal mismanaged their way out of the league. The Grizzlies made mistakes, but were greatly handicapped by prohibitive conditions imposed by the league on their entry into the league. Ultimately what ende...
