I doubt Stabler was trying to throw the ball away. It was 4th down. A sack or an incomplete pass both result in turnover on downs. I agree about Casper, though. He was likely just trying to,scoop up the ball but couldn't get a clean grip on it. No sense falling on the ball until he was in the end zo...

Sabol and George Young are the only worthy HOF picks from that list.

When you curve the performances, accounting for the different eras, Tittle's game is a clear cut #1. If you just take the numbers at face value, I still give Tittle a very slight edge.

He is the only QB to have multiple 500 yard games. If you had told that to someone during his rookie year, you would have gotten some strange looks.

This thread took an interesting turn. I see JohnH's point. The only thing I disagree with is including the Steelers team from the 1970's to the present day.

I mentioned Bruce on one of the earlier posts. I think he was actually pancaked on his very last play. Hard to get much worse than that, beyond extraordinary events.

Thurman Thomas was injured in midseason; that's why he didn't dress for the playoffs.

Looking at the lineups, it appears that about 26 of 1995's Browns didn't become 1996 Ravens. Five starters on offense and seven of the 11 defensive starters for the '95 Browns didn't start for the Ravens in '96, and punter Greg Montgomery and returner Jermaine Lewis didn't go to Baltimore. Jermaine...
