Re: Jimmy Johnson's eye for talent

Btw, according to Pearlman, there was an attempt to trade Irvin to the Raiders. According to Bayless, Jimmy thought there were more talented WRs on the Hurricanes than Irvin so he was expendable. I don't remember if Pearlman mentioned this, but I read somewhere that Al Davis had to talk Jimmy into ...

And what's age got to do with it (as the great Tina Turner sang)? Al's got functioning brain cells, unlike, ahem, some others his age.
Like the big Saquon trade??

No WR that season caught more than 658 yards or 4 touchdowns

They were essentially a three man team (Steve McNair, Eddie George, Jevon Kearse)
1990 Giants top 2 WRs yards & TDs:
541 yards, 4 TDs
499 yards, 5 TDs

Re: 1981 NFL Draft broadcast by ESPN

If you stream that recent Joe Montana documentary, Cool seamlessly in a single breath places Simms & Marino on the same level. Marino & Simms together? Too many painkillers maybe? I’m a Giants fan and have always defended Simms, but he couldn’t shine Mariano’s shoes. Over 32 games Marino pl...

Re: 1989 NFL season discussion

https://profootballresearchers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6433 I did like the Eagles. #12, of course, was on the SI season preview cover! Great, fitting shot of him! Zimmerman (nor Hollander) wasn't very optimistic of the Eagles going in, but I myself and the many Eagle-fans in my new vicinity were ...

Re: 1981 NFL Draft broadcast by ESPN

more championships and more games played than Taylor. I’m sure Lott is the sole reason for this. No other differences at all btw the teams they played for. Just Lott and Taylor.
