We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals. -
Maybe it is because I am older but It is always frustrating to me that guys are forgotten or their accomplishments tend to get downplayed by future generations. I understand it but it is frustrating. Jim Brown was as good a running back as ever stepped on the field. Now you can say that about Walter Payton or Gayle Sayers or whoever else but those guys (QBs and WRs the same way) just played at a different time when stats were just different. They were just GREAT NFL players.Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
Hope is not a strategy

Yes he was really something and dominated games. Not only that he intimidated any person or player that he ever met. After carrying the ball he would just lie on the ground as long as he wanted to and then walk back to the huddle. The clock rules were different back then. Teams only had 25 seconds in the huddle once it began. No ref ever had the balls to call the delay of game on him. Nobody could argue that he was the best of his era, that's just not debatable. As good as he was the game Constantly evolves and the players get better and better every decade. One thing is for sure though, in his youth he could still play today and not many players can claim that including many who are in the Hall of Fame. Some players can't just transend time and he leads those fue."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"Comment

Back when he played, you could be hit after you were down and the play was over. The way the league rodeo tackles, he could run for 2500 yards.Originally posted by Eagle60 View Post
