Good call Jackson ... John Gilliam was just as much a deep threat as Harold Jackson but was also hurt by going to multiple teams. Had he stayed with the Vikings, instead of going to Atlanta, his numbers might have compared with Jackson's as well, but his career ended with injuries after leaving the...

If you ask me, the 41 Bears might compare better for their time (though it was earlier on, and if I'm not mistaken World War II took some players off of rosters by that point?), but both the 41 and 85 Bears absolutely dominated their respective seasons.

1973 Rams were not that good IMO for being 12-2. Only played 2 playoff teams. Lost to Vikings and beat Cowboys. Split with the 9-5 Falcons. Avoided all of the good AFC teams. Except for McCutcheon, every starter started all 14 games. So no adversity there. Didn't pass all that much. Apparently Hadl...

How about Brian Sipe in 1980?

No knock on his season, but Lester Hayes in that same season might have deserved more consideration considering how many picks he had.

That is certainly an interesting thing to consider. The thing that is unfortunate is that target data for most 1970's receivers is unavailable. Drops (or at the very least missed passes to his side of the field could be captured by catch percentages). The question of better player vs better career i...

Thank you of informing me of those links.

Was just curious because I thought you implied that the ballot for 2024 had been released, and I haven't sent my suggestions in yet.

Was told it would be a little later in the year.

Someone else can totally prove me wrong but he was good, very good, but I have seen players without the so-called "alls" who IMO were dominant and players without the "numbers" who looked dominant ... not a ton of them but I have also seen guys with a good HOF resume--the number...

There are a few aspects of the game that I don't see anyone typically bring up when talking about players. To name a few: 1. I have lost track of how many times I have seen tight ends evaluated solely based off their receiving statistics with no acknowledgement of how well they can block. 2. I typic...

Not a bad list. The top two in particular are probably the two of the very best teams in the history of the league before the Super Bowl. The only one that feels a bit off in my opinion is the 1936 Packers; they could be higher. If the AAFC champions are included, then the 1946 and 48 Browns would a...

5 Pro Bowls. 2 AP nods. Comparable to Smerlas (already in HOVG.) I would pick him over Antwine, who is on the ballot. Brooks had great sack totals. But are people burned out on Rams defensive line? This is probably going to sound like a boneheaded question but you say Antwine is on the ballot. Wher...
