Re: Disparity - 2023 Panthers
Right, all that is true ... but the disparity seems unusually large even given those factors. As well as the turnovers, there were only three times the defense turned the ball over on downs. This was also a league worst. Now teams only attempted going for it 10 times on fourth down, went for it sev...

Re: Disparity - 2023 Panthers
The opponent's starting position is 31.8 yard line, which is second worst in the league. They have given up 5 return TDs, worse than average but not worst in the league. The defense is good on a yards basis. But they have given up 25 rushing TDs, worst in the league. 11 turnovers is also a league w...

Re: question about the Rozelle rule
The Dolphins did get comp for Csonka, Kiick, and Warfield when they returned to the NFL. When Csonka signed with the Giants on April 7, 1976 (after Joe Robbie scoffed at Csonka's demand for a five year, $2M contract...which, as it turned out, would have been a stretch for what was left in Zonk's ta...

Re: question about the Rozelle rule
Cullen Bryant sued when Rozelle attempted to include him as compensation for Ron Jessie. That lawsuit ended this era of free agency. Do you know when that lawsuit had a ruling issued? I believe Ron Jaworksi signing with the Eagles was also subject to Rozelle Rules, but they worked out the 'compensa...

Re: question about the Rozelle rule
I think the compensation had to be decided on before the player could join his new team. This happened in the Dick Gordon case, where Gordon signed with the Rams in 1972. Gordon couldn't join the Rams until October 12th because Halas disputed the compensation. Halas wanted players, the Rams wanted t...

Re: What happened to Pro Football Archives?
Web sites take time and money to operate and we can't take them for granted. That being said, I hate to see original work disappear. Of most use was the minor league information, exhibition games, and draftee information that helped me separate players with similar names. Perhaps some alternative so...

Re: Eagles at Falcons NFCCG, 1980
I'd pick the Eagles. Not a fan of teams with bad pass defense in that era, which is why the Falcons lost to the Cowboys in the first place

Re: Jimmy Graham, 6 catches 4 TDs this year
I would like to know if a similar list can be do for running backs. Off the top of my head I remember when Raiders RB Zack Crockett scored a lot of 1-yard TDs from 2000-2003 with few carries. And of course the 1979 Chargers-Raiders TNF game when Booker Russell scored three 1-yard TDs in his only th...
