Re: Mike Evans will probably never be first-team All-Pro
Does the adjusted yards chart make Charlie Joiner appear to be a first ballot HOFer?

Re: Giants doing top 100 players ... have released 91-100
Howard Cross? Wow. I can't wait for Tom Mullady to be listed above YA Tittle. Howard Cross is one of only three men to play in over 200 games for the NY Giants (over thirteen seasons). He was a tremendous blocker and I could actually see him ranked slightly higher than where he is. He was a big rea...

Re: The most 'boring' Super Bowl ever, IYO?
I saw the highlight film from the first Super Bowl not long ago and thought it was just terrible. It gave absolutely no sense of how the game went: It showed a bunch of good plays by the Packers, then a similar bunch of good plays by the Chiefs, then a "key interception" by Willie Wood or...

Re: Players who have been top five in career passing yards at any point since 1932
Any players that you are surprised to see here? If it doesn't include AAFC numbers, then I am surprised to see Frankie Albert. Others who were suprising: Frank Filchock George Blanda I'm not surprised to see Hart, Brodie, Hadl, but they seemed to have benefitted from a good sense of timing more tha...

Re: 1988 49ers vs 2023 Chiefs
If the Steve Young run never happens, the Vikings team that allowed it is going to the Super Bowl and in my opinion the Bengals beat them. The 88 Niners had a game in hand at the end of the regular season. If they lost to the Vikes earlier then the last game against the Rams would have been for a p...

Re: 1988 49ers vs 2023 Chiefs
I think the 23 Chiefs are a tribute to a very good defense and Mahomes/Reid getting enough out of the offense. Almost like the 81 Niners. The 88 Niners to me are a bit better and more talented overall. They were sputtering at 6-5 and then went 7 for 7 in 'meaningful games', nearly all of which were ...

Re: 1982 NFL salary trivia
Here are some questions based on 1982 NFL player salaries: 1) The highest paid player on the Vikings intercepted 3 passes in 1980. Name him. 2) The highest paid player was a QB who won zero games in 1982. 3) One of the Vikings who was making the league minimum ended up making 6 pro bowls. 4) The te...

Re: 1982 NFL salary trivia
oooh - 82 was the strike year so these are really fun/good/tough questions. Curious where you found the info because salary info was a secret back then. It's still difficult to find salary info from the past. At least for me it has been. I'm going to guess #1 is a longtime linebacker - Jeff Simeon?...
