Not sure....what is your opinion on Fuller? Better or worse than Dieter Brock?

But I think at some point the QB with the highest winning percentage in the NFL was Mike Tomczak.

Most impressive/interesting achievement

What is the singular most impressive stat/thing that you've seen in each sport? Football = Don Hutson lapping the field in 1942 receiving Baseball = Toby Harrah & Bump Wills hitting inside-the-park HRs on consecutive pitches Basketball = Isiah Thomas 16 points in last 94 seconds to force OT in p...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated

I think that's kind of ridiculous, but I think you did mention a really overrated team: the 1985 Bears. They went 15-1 (winning a weak division in a walk) and routed an 11-5 AFC team quarterbacked by Tony Eason and coached by Raymond Berry; the 49ers went 15-1 and trounced a 14-2 team with Dan Mari...

Agreed....that's what makes it exclusive!

Re: Worst draft classes for a team

1967 Falcons, coming off an expansion year, had NO ONE from their draft make the team. Interesting. The 67 Saints had a draft that I didn't really understand. They ended up getting a few good players, but their first two picks were Bo Burris and Les Kelley. Burris was a QB who the Saints had planne...

Re: Best ever Forty Niners team?

What people don't see is it takes a lot of luck with these dynasties. UCLA cheated, but they played in a weak era, and they got lucky several times. 10 titles in 12 years....luck. That's an interesting take. And 1973 Indiana had the most reprehensible person in college basketball history (Dave Blis...

Re: E.J. Holub

I would bet there are more players than E.J. who started Super Bowls at more than one position. Ronnie Lott comes to mind (CB 81&84; S 88&89). However, I don't know if there was anyone who started on offense on one occasion and defense on another... anyone? Here is some hasty research: Mike...

Re: What's the biggest football moment you witnessed in person?

I saw Aaron Glenn return a missed FG for a 104-yard TD. I think its still the record (?).
