Re: Top wide receivers in history
I'm not sure exactly what "top" means, but.... 1. Rice 2. Owens 3. Sharpe 4. Berry 5. Hutson Hutson for me is really hard to rate for multiple reasons - to borrow from Chris Rock, all those affirmative action-yards and TDs, the weakened talent pool during the war, and the Bill Walsh effec...

Re: Leon Gray and Jim Lachey - HOVG?
I think I heard John Hannah once say that when Leon Gray left the Patriots he knew his team's chances of winning a championship were pretty much gone.

Re: Patrick Mahomes
I think Patrick Mahomes has a very promising future as an N.F.L. quarterback barring, as that other member wrote, getting injured or joining a cult. Having stated that, no way do I think he's a lock after only 3 seasons and he did not play well in this year's S.B. That was easily the worst performan...

Re: Top wide receivers in history
No surprises: Jerry Rice, Raymond Berry, Steve Largent, and Lance Alworth are all up there. I remember Rice and Largent from the 1980s and each of them was fantastic. I'm a HUGE fan of each of them. But if I had to pick one WR who was an absolute nightmare for DBs, it would be Randy Moss. Dude had e...

Re: Larry Fitzgerald
Class act all the way. And I'll point out (and I'm a HUGE Steve Largent fan) that Steve Largent was named first team All-Pro only once in his distinguished career and he went in on the first ballot ('course, he held several league records when he retired, too, which probably had something to do with...

Re: Cam Newton
Very possible he's done at this point, at least as a productive starter. Sad to see him go, was one of the most unique players of this decade. Does he have a HOF case, if not, HOVG? Or prime just not long enough for a QB? It doesn't seem like Michael Vick is up for HOF anytime soon, for instance. F...

Re: If you think the Pro Football HOF voting is questionable
I don't really follow baseball but my understanding is that when you've run out of chances to get into the Baseball H.o.F. that's it. You're never getting in. At least in football there's a small chance of getting through the senior pool.

Re: Eli Manning
I couldn't agree with that Yahoo! sportswriter more. Funny thing is that when I've Googled "Best New York Giants QBs of all time" his name usually tops the list. Must be those two S.B. wins. . .

Re: If both Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning end up making Canto
I hope Eli Manning never makes it. I don't think Jim Plunkett deserves to make it to the P.F.H.o.F. and he has just as many S.B. rings as Eli does.

Re: 1970 Lions: If they get out of Dallas
My memories of Craig Morton are from his years with the "Orange Crush." And what those memories tell me is that he could throw an absolutely beautiful spiral. . .and that he was about as mobile as an iguana in freezing temperatures (I remember how poor he was in S.B. XII - at the time I kn...
