Re: Packers fatigue

For some reason I don't associate Eddie George with the rest of those players. Maybe its because of my perception as him being a 3.0 YPC guy, but I view him more like a Joe Morris than a Priest Holmes. But I would be fine with any of the other guys you listed being in the HOF. Yeah, I'd drop George...

Re: 4-3 LBers with 10 sacks or more

How about a few of the following: - Rufus Porter a couple times in the late 80's and early 90's - Bill Forester had a big year and blitzed A LOT in 1959, he had 12 - Bill George in 1961, but if you watch the film he's often rushing from the line with his fist in the dirt. Shaunnessey ran some reall...

Re: Packers fatigue

Sharpe getting elected could also help other players with high peak-short careers but it will be interesting if his election helps Dilweg, Lewellen and Isbell down the road? I know Isbell gets support but I feel he also could be cancelling them out as well. I feel Lewellen will only have a chance a...

Re: Quiz question: Rushing leaders and all-pro selections

The other agencies got him but I always found it odd that Bill Dudley was 2nd Team with AP in 1946 despite leading the league in Rushing Yards, Punt Return Yards AND Interceptions. I think the other agencies got it right that year with him on 1st Team.

Re: HOVG: Some candidates who played between 1920 and 1945

How about Frank Cope? It was a dubious selection but the only all decade I know of hand who's not in.

Re: Negro League stats

No issue with them being included in the aggregate counting stats but it's the rate stats that are the problem. Currently the leader in single season batting averages has that on 136 plate appearances. That's basically a month of MLB play, I believe he played in 30 games. Not putting words on people...

Re: NFL MVP's who didn't deserve to win

Mark Mosley is the obvious one right, not sure what the AP voters saw.

Re: NFL's Most Influential Teams

Catching up, but influential can be totally different from good or quality. Major innovations should be recognized no? The T, the 4-3 the 3-4, heck in 89 when Wayne Fontes brought in Mouse Davis to install the Run N Shoot people scoffed at 4 wideouts on the field and not having a fullback, find full...
