Big rasslin' fan, go back to the WWWF days and "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers, Bruno Samartino, Dr. Jerry & Eddie Graham. All we have seen over the years is a lesser and lesser product with the misuse of the talent to the stupid angles. I do blame McMahon.I can't imagine him doing what he did anywhere else, pro wrestling is a unique market. I have no clue waht the world football league is
Was it trying to be another league like the NFL/AFC?
WFL

I'd have to give Walter Payton the slight edge over Barry Sanders
I can see that, no argument from me. Payton the better all around player.
Hmmmmmm..... , let me change it.
2016 Cowboys OL?wasn't even the best OL in the NFL this past year! Buffalo's was better at run blocking (Tennessee was very close to Dallas as well), Green Bay's was better at pass protection... Dallas is top 5, no doubt, but they don't do well in run blocking without an elite back like Elliott or Murray, nor in pass protection with a less than mobile QB as we saw in 2015.
If you want to tell me 1990-1995 Cowboys OL is best of all time, then you have a legit case.
Dude, if they can get a rookie RB the yards they did think what Jim Brown/Walter Payton would do? Look what they did for a rookie QB.2016 Cowboys OL?
If you want to tell me 1990-1995 Cowboys OL is best of all time, then you have a legit case.
That OL is all this team would need.
I'd love tio see McCaffrey a Patriot. He'd be perfect as a slot/runner. Belichick with a new toy.
He's not returning kicks unless it's the 4th quarter and the Pats are behind.
That all white offense... America, America, this is you...
QB...Tom BradyThat all white offense... America, America, this is you...
RB...Christian McCaffrey
Slot...Julian Edelman
Flanker...Danny Amandola
Wide Receiver...Chris Hogan
TE...gronk.
We have to go back to those Lombardi Packer teams with.....
QB...Bart Starr
RB...Jim Taylor
RB...Paul Hornung
WR...Boyd Dowler
WR...Carroll Dale
...to find a great white O
TE...Marv Flening was black.
Curious about McCaffreys 40 time at the combine. He's not the real burner he appears to be. I'm guessing 4.4low, a 4.38ish wouldn't shock me.
Like I said McCaffrey not the burner he appears to be...4.48.
The fastest sprinters/RB's in NFL history.
1.Curtis ey 10.11 Tex A&M/Colts....only NFL RB to be world ranked in the 100m.
2.Buddy Young a USA/NCAA 100 champ in the same season. Illinois/Colts. 5-4 170
3.Ollie Matson Olympic 400m bronze medalist, U of San Francisco. Cards/Rams..traded nine players to get him.
4.Jamaal Charles 10.18 while at Texas, if not for football he had world class potential. Chiefs.
5.Herschel Walker 10.23 while at Georgia, the best example there is of size with speed. Cowboys and others.
6.Bo Jackson (lost to Walker in the SEC 60) Auburn/Raiders
7.Travis Williams 9.3yds ASU/Packers, Rams...averaged over 40 yards a KO return one season. Known as "Roadrunner".
8.Joe Delaney 9.4 NWLa, gained over a 1000 yds as a rookie. Drowned trying to save some kids, he couldn't swim.
9.Michael Bennett 10.18 while at Wisconsin, Vikes and others.
10.O.J.Simpson 9.4 while at USC. Bills.
I didn't put too much into placings after the top 5 as ya noticed.
Little Trindon Holliday did run the fastest time, a 10.00 but his exploits at RB just don't warrant a mention.
The fastest time wise athlete to ever play football was Tennessee's Leonard Scott a 9.91 guy, no footballer ever ran faster. He did get a look by the Steelers, nope~~~
Then there was Houston McTear. While at Baker HS he averaged over 13 yards a carry, and as just a junior he tied the world record with an amazing 9.0. Bummer was he was a total idiot so he couldn't get into any school other than a JC.
This is the fastest athlete to ever carry a football, Leonard Scott****
**** Bob Hayes 10.06 on a dirt track in 1964 actually superior.

T.J.Logan the only RB at sub 4.4.
A 10.6 is slow. Reggie Bush was running a 10.4ish in HS.
Former Raider RB's Napolean Kaufman and Justin Fargas Cali State 100m champs, both 10.4 guys.

oh now avante cares about the combine
It's like this stupid.
Ya walk into a little kicker bar, exchange a buck for some quarters. Walk over to the jukebox, after the third song, she.....didn't know ya liked Lefty Frizzell that much (third Frizzell tune)....I don't really like him at all.
Yep, nothing but Lefty Frizzell in that Jukebox.
Think, ok?
And, one minute it's....can we stick a thread on the bottom, the next you're bumping up an old thread

Why do linemen run the 40? The 20...maybe.
Anytime we talk sports greats we must take into consideration.....DOMINANCE OF ERA.
There are HS kids today who could have won every Olympic 100m up to 1984. I have no doubts todays Alabama football team would crush Lombardi's Packer teams. Way too big and too fast.
It's never about how those old timers would fare today, that means...0.
You cannot talk the great NFL players without Red Grange, Jim Thorpe, Emlen Tunnell, Sammy Baugh, Don Hutson, Otto Graham, Tom Fears, "Crazy Legs" Hirsh, Joe Perry, Jim Brown, if ya think ya can ya don't know the game.

How do you think some of the passing QBs would do today, Avante. The ones who never really needed athletic ability unlike the versatile ones we see in dudes like Newton
Big strong Roman Gabriel could make it work, can't say that about Sonny Jurgenson, Bart Starr, Johnny Unitas.
Would ya believe the Dallas Cowboys were once in the west?
The first Cowboy to have a 1000 yard season was an Ivy Leaguer?
The first black to have a 1000yard season a Niner, the first player to have a 1000 yards out of the HBCU. a Niner. The only player to block a field goal while standing under the crossbars, yep...a Niner.
The first play in Charger history, a 105 yard KO return for a TD.
The first Pats stud passing combo....Babe Parilli to Gino Cappeletti.
The first Raider to have a 1000 yard season was a cut Niner DB.
Steve Largent was cut, as was John Unitas.
We once had....The Kansas City Cowboys.
The first black QB to start an NFL game...........................................Wil lie Thrower.
How about a smaller dude, Jurgenson.. about Brees size
Jurgenson had a pot belly, not athletic at all, no way he'd be able to evade todays rushers.
The athletes we see on defense today on a whole other level than back in the day.
With a good pocket I'd figure he could perform, but the game might be too fast
Jurgenson was 5-11 200 pounds and non athletic, and in his day his career comp %....57.1. Being that size and without the ability to escape I just can't see it. There is never going to come a game where he can just stand there and throw.
Jim Brown
Gale Sayers
Bob Hayes
Roman Gabriel
Lance Alworth
Cookie Gilchrist
Could play today, yet non of them would be putting up the numbers that they did, obviously.
