Here is link to the page that generated my ss: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_rating_index_single_season.htm It's annoying because when you hover over "Rate+" with your cursor, it mentions "See glossary for details", but when you go to the glossary, there isn...

Short career, but not atypical for the era: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DanoEd20.htm 3 seasons with post-season honors, but these were really good seasons. Also, 2-1 as starting TB/QB in NFL Championship games. What brought him to my attention, aside from being one of the 45 pla...

I get attacked on Facebook football groups for this opinion but I'm not a fan of the double standard and bias towards Cleveland Browns players who's career's overlapped in the AAFC and only had 3-5 good years in the NFL getting in the Hall Of Fame compared to all the AFL legends who get snubbed bec...

I think you're (@74_75_78_79_) selling Miami a little short here. They benefited from discipline (Shula teams always did), but that roster had more going for it than just “lack of penalties.” Arnsparger’s defensive mind, the Killer B’s, and on the other side when Woodley struggled, they had Strock t...

Sounds like this thread is focused on players who didn't play enough seasons in the given decade, but there are some baffling choices for other reasons. Bob Carroll pointed out in a CC article, that the 1920s team was back filled with HOFers. They were short at a couple positions and actually made a...

It was you. That book was on my want list years for years. Thanks for sending me a copy. What's interesting is Carl M. Becker cites you but I don't recall him mentioning the 1,000 yard season. That came as a big surprise to me. Becker's book is still available on Amazon. Let's see if anyone wants to...

Next year for Parratt.

Really glad you all post the vote totals now. Was this class a little larger than usual? It's not always 10 in and 10 out is it?

Jay is going to kill me.... maybe. I've been off the board for a while and didn't vote. I would have voted for all 7 super seniors who wound up in the bottom 10 including Brock. Would him getting 37 votes have put him in or knocked X out? Very Very happy about George Christensen though. That's aweso...

Not a streak, and a season before his team would join the NFL, but what runner became the first documented 1,000-yard rusher in pro football history? (may as well include the team and year in your answer)

For Shiring, one of our members, Gregg Ficery, wrote a book recently that's relevant: https://www.gridironlegacy.com Kerkhoff's Wikipedia entry is pretty strong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Kerkhoff It only lists a handful of secondary references, but I think one or more persons dug into pr...
