Re: 1982 NFL salary trivia

Name him. 2) The highest paid player was a QB who won zero games in 1982. 3) One of the Vikings who was making the league minimum ended up making 6 pro bowls. 4) The te...

Re: Sports Illustrated MMQB Hypothetical Draft

always wanted to get 15-20 PFRA members to do one ... but it's like herding cats ... you got get people to commit and spend a few hours on email ... but also wanted to add ST player, a utility OL and DL, a nickel back --- but not jus another starter, find guys who were only part time starters but c...

Re: Mike Evans will probably never be first-team All-Pro

^John, thank you for sharing this info. It's helpful to at least have an idea of quantification beyond eras. It is also difficult to calculate in the change in rules on defense across eras, which I am guessing are not included above? Looks like Evans falls into the Top 25 when adjusting his numbers...

Re: Mike Evans will probably never be first-team All-Pro

Tough to truly separate them in this inflated age, with defenses more handcuffed than ever. and there is a way to kind of flatten receiving numbers ... Football Perspective is "True" yards ... they do some good work there. There are other ways --- for one ... just go by "per 16 games...

Re: Mike Evans will probably never be first-team All-Pro

I should clarify my earlier statement. I wouldn't necessarily disqualify someone from the Hall solely because they're a compiler. I guess the question is what else happened during their career while they were doing thf compiling. Another look at Evans' career. He's had only TWO seasons of 80 plus r...

Re: Mike Evans will probably never be first-team All-Pro

He's a compiler. I wouldn't put him anywhere near the HOF. That's the thing ... however there are a couple of WR compliers in the HOF and not for TDs, for receptions -- we can all name them, I think TDs should hold higher value but not sure they do. I don't think he's there (HOF) but I was thinking...

Mike Evans will probably never be first-team All-Pro

he's been 2nd team a couple of times ... and 5 Pro Bowls, which given WRs ... is not a lot .. they pick 4 to begin with and a lot of them miss Pro Bowls, it seems. Tory Holt added 3 Pro Bowls to resume by being a 1st alternate and a guy ahead of him injured-- But Evans, the consecutive 1,000-yard se...

Joe Kopcha
I nominated Kopcha this year ... based partially on Chris, partially on his All-pros and so on ... plus he was a member of PFRA!
