Which non Hall of Famers (at least the time) from those earlier decades could have made better all decade team selections than the ones there? For the '20s, mine would be: Benny Friedman (in HOF now, but not at the time, also some would say not to put him in the '20s) Verne Lewellen Duke Slater (in...

Bob Carroll pointed out in a CC article, that the 1920s team was back filled with HOFers. What issue of the Coffin Corner is that article from Here's a link: https://profootballresearchers.com/archives/Website_Files/Coffin_Corner/07-05-233.pdf If I'm reading it correctly, the article iis saying the...

From my experience, it's a near impossible task. Several times I've submitted articles with lists of teams pre-NFL players played for only to learn later I had missed some. I've written multiple articles about Tony Latone, for example, and if it came out tomorrow he played a game for a team I missed...

Thanks Mark. I never saw that interview. Nothing to back this up other than watching games, but I always felt like Shula had a "loyalty" thing. When to pull the QB is more of a judgment call, but for lineup decisions, it felt like he went with the player with seniority at times. I always w...

Great discussion! @Throwin_Samoan, thanks for the video. I know Rev. Moran and the other guest is the one who does the uniform database, but I had never seen it. Very informative - I enjoyed the part on the A formation, etc. I nominated Danowski for HOVG yesterday, but someone beat me to it! I wound...

The 1981-85 Dolphins were one of the biggest overachievers in NFL history. By 1986, reality caught up to them. Between QB and RB, Miami had IMHO the worst offensive backfield to ever make a SB. I've gone back and watched a lot of the games. The '80s had a different feel to it: lot of mediocre QB pl...

Here is link to the page that generated my ss: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_rating_index_single_season.htm It's annoying because when you hover over "Rate+" with your cursor, it mentions "See glossary for details", but when you go to the glossary, there isn...

Short career, but not atypical for the era: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DanoEd20.htm 3 seasons with post-season honors, but these were really good seasons. Also, 2-1 as starting TB/QB in NFL Championship games. What brought him to my attention, aside from being one of the 45 pla...

I get attacked on Facebook football groups for this opinion but I'm not a fan of the double standard and bias towards Cleveland Browns players who's career's overlapped in the AAFC and only had 3-5 good years in the NFL getting in the Hall Of Fame compared to all the AFL legends who get snubbed bec...

I think you're (@74_75_78_79_) selling Miami a little short here. They benefited from discipline (Shula teams always did), but that roster had more going for it than just “lack of penalties.” Arnsparger’s defensive mind, the Killer B’s, and on the other side when Woodley struggled, they had Strock t...
