Re: 2024 Hall of Very Good Nominations
Rashad was much better with Kramer than Tarkenton but Kramer also forced the ball to him, which resulted in interceptions. Rashad was somewhat similar to Chris Carter without the TDs of course. People wonder what he might have done had he stayed in St Louis for the Coryell era? Though a good career...

Re: Obscure RB trivia
Not Kelly. 1968 was only his third year as a starter. And I did think of Daniels, who I believe had crossed 5,000 yards by 1968, but he wasn't in the NFL, so I assume he doesn't qualify either. Clem Daniels was in the NFL in the 1968 season, playing for the Niners. He also had 5000+ career rushing ...

Re: Negro League stats
There is no logic behind including Negro League stats into the MLB record book. Its just pandering, IMO. It's what Caesar did, and he's not going around saying, "I came, I conquered, I felt really bad about it." To me there is no purity in any of these leagues and any of these stats. They...

Re: Super Bowl champions by the percent of the time they passed the football
*The 70 Colts were the highest % of the old school teams. Not sure if that was by design or if the run game was just so anemic. Bulaich did fairly well in the postseason running the ball. A very weird team in that Earl Morrall was like a relief pitcher as a QB. The Colts receiving corps was just OK...

Re: Weakest above-500 team to NOT make the playoffs?
I'm surprised the '78 Packers haven't been mentioned yet. #24 offense, #19 defense, minus-20 PD and giving up more than 850 total yards than they gained (however, with much more plays on the defense side of the ball, both offense and defense averaged the same amount of Y/P, each at 4.4). Seattle, w...

Re: Worst draft classes for a team
1967 Falcons, coming off an expansion year, had NO ONE from their draft make the team. Shortly before the draft the Falcons traded their #1 pick (number 3 overall) to the 49ers for three players. The best of these players was WR Bernie Casey. I am guessing that Casey made it clear he wouldn't report...

Re: Hypothetical post merger Playoff Bowls
After losing tough championship games, the players wouldn't have cared about another game. I think that's what killed the Playoff Bowl, in fact. For the first several years, the teams involved were just the ones that finished second, and the postseason appearance served as a lower-class award for a...

Re: Hypothetical post merger Playoff Bowls
Remember in the early history of the league teams still played non-league games. At the time the point was to just make money for that day on the live gate. Who knew if your players would stick around, the team would stick around, the league would stick around. By the 1960s the Playoff Bowl, Pro Bow...

Re: 1974 Dallas Cowboys
It was mostly little things. They had a big edge in yardage gained. #1 offense in yardage. But. They changed out both their kicking and punting specialists during the year. Not great. Staubach got sacked a lot, too many INT and not enough TD passes. Despite Pearson having a great year, as others poi...
