Re: Worst RBs/WRs with a 1000 yard season?
Thurman Thomas and Frank Gore had knee concerns coming out of college but their NFL careers werent bad ... I'm convinced that, usually, trying to predict injuries from previous injuries is like trying to predict the next spin of a slot machine from its previous spins. The exceptions are when a guy ...

Re: Worst RBs/WRs with a 1000 yard season?
Another Bear I'm thinking of is Raymont Harris - 1,033 yards in 1997 with a 3.8 ypc, and 10 TDs; less than 1,500 yards with a 3.7 ypc and 6 TDs in another six seasons combined.

Re: Herschel has found some rivals...
Another interesting Brown's trades while with the Bengals were WR Charlie Joiner for DE Coy Bacon, then dealing Bacon and CB Lemar Parrish to Washington two years later for their first round in 1979, who turned to be RB Charles Alexander, who is most famous for being tackled less than a yard for the...

Re: Elks win!
Something I like by the name change is that they can still use their EE logo on their helmets.

Re: Worst RBs/WRs with a 1000 yard season?
Another RB who I'm thinking of is Charles White. Drafted by the Browns after a stellar career at USC, he ran for less than 1,000 yards in 4 seasons in Cleveland, with a 3.4 yards average. Went to the Rams, where he was a backup to Eric Dickerson, and then the Rams traded Dickerson to the Colts, Whit...

Re: Worst RBs/WRs with a 1000 yard season?
The worst RB who gained 1,000 yards I've seen was John Settle. I believe he was the first free agent RB to gain 1,000 yards in 1988 with the Falcons. He ran for less than 700 yards in his other 3 seasons, with less than 4 yards per carry on average.

Re: Herschel has found some rivals...
My favorite trade of all-time came in the 1982 NFL Draft when Tampa Bay wanted to draft unheralded DE Booker Reese from Bethune-Cookman in the first round (they thought he would be the next Lee Roy Selmon). Due to a bad communication to NY, the Buccaneers ended drafting G Sean Farrell from Penn Stat...

Re: 1998 Atlanta Falcons- Biggest Fluke in NFL History?
For me they were the "Over the Hill Gang" 25 years later, with 10 starters between offense and defense over 30 (Chris Chandler, Bob Christian, Terance Mathis, Tony Martin, Gene Williams, Lester Archambeau, Jessie Tuggle, Cornelius Bennett, Eugene Robinson and William White, plus their P Da...
