This was mentioned in another thread. I think this merits a separate thread.
Edit- I will not create my own team.

Hall of Famers should be excluded from this list, I would think.
WR - Sterling Sharpe
RB - Billy Sims

Re: All-Had To Retire Early team
I vote Terrell Davis and Sterling Sharpe for starting halfback and wide receiver. Quarterback maybe Neil Lomax? By the way, that guy took a lot of sacks. Did the Cardinals have that bad of an offensive line or did Lomax hold on to the ball too long? Or was it a mix of both?

Both, but he did hold ball too long, Louis Sharpe was good, but others, not so much...so a bit of bothNess wrote:I vote Terrell Davis and Sterling Sharpe for starting halfback and wide receiver.

Re: All-Had To Retire Early team
Which is odd since they sure had coaches that could coach up O-line's during Lomax's career. Lack of talent didn't help but still odd, considering.JohnTurney wrote:Louis Sharpe was good, but others, not so much...so a bit of both

Jamaal Anderson for the other running back?

Re: All-Had To Retire Early team
Two running backs to consider-one was already mentioned in the other thread (Alan Ameche), while an inability to come back from a bad knee injury ended Ernie Green's career with the Browns.
Re: All-Had To Retire Early team
Lots of interesting choices at RB...William Andrews had a huge year in 1983 then got hurt in 1984 and wasn't ever the same. Joe Delaney deserves a mention, too. For FB, I'd submit Bobby Anderson of the Broncos.
