Chuck Knox is also in my personal HOF. He was a winner.

People who argue that Pearson doesn’t deserve his bust in Canton just don’t get it…and this is coming from a Vikings fan. Pearson was to receivers as Namath was to quarterbacks. He was much, much more than the numbers on a page or screen will ever be able to tell you.

The best way to phrase it is "never to win a world championship." Though I'd personally go with someone who never even made the Super Bowl: Marty Schottenheimer. Interesting, why Schottenheimer first of those seven? Schottenheimer had a ton of regular-season success and just some bad luck...

Bob, I treasure the article you wrote on my football hero, Don Jonas, a number of years ago.

No, I haven’t.

Yes, the HOF definitely missed the boat on the all-time leading receiver at the time of his retirement. Howton and Del Shofner are the two senior receivers most deserving of enshrinement.

That’s really too bad. Along with the great historical content I especially enjoyed Clark’s thoughts on each week’s games.

Their top 6 QB’s, top 4 RB’s and top 4 WR’s are in complete accordance with my lists.

What this chart clearly shows is that the Purple People Eaters were the greatest defense in history over an extended period.

Back in the 2019 section of this thread I gave the reasons that 1967 is my favourite season. But, even before I saw Shinobi’s post above, I also wanted to give a shout out to the 68, 69 and 75 seasons. 1976 is also one of my faves.
