During his MVP season, Newton threw 35 touchdown passes and only 10 interceptions. He also ran for 636 yards and 10 more touchdowns. He led his...
Oh, I'm not saying he couldn't have played safety in the NFL, just that linebacker was more likely and that fits somewhat into why the Steelers...
I had to go back again. I didn't notice the words on the picture the first time. I was distracted. :)
Urlacher began his college career as a linebaker, but became a star when they turned him into a hybrid safety. If I remember correctly, most...
You can point out mistakes like that in most drafts, including passing on Tom Brady like everybody else did. You also have to put these things...
Vrabel a Plan B free agent who had been stuck on the bench, so I'm not sure how much choice they had. The real mistake was not trying him inside...
People think of Montana and the passing game, but the 1984 49ers relied heavily on their running backs. Wendell Tyler averaged 5.1 yards per carry...
That's the one I was thinking of. I remember they spliced together game footage. It helped that the Steelers played the 48ers in 1984 and some of...
I remember ESPN doing it a long time ago and I think it was the '78 Steelers beating the '84 49ers.
I don't know the story. I only know that they cut him. That having him may have kept them from Bradshaw, as somebody else mentioned, doesn't...
I've heard this theory before, but it doesn't make sense. Marino retired after the 1999 season. The Steelers drafted Roethlisberger in 2004. They...
The guy was league MVP once. That wasn't just Carolina hype. Newton could play. I just don't trust him to be healthy and I doubt the Steelers...
That makes some sense, but football isn't just about talent. Matchups matter. The '75 team was still far too reliant on the run to have success...
I get your logic there and Dawson was a great player, but I would not start him at guard over Faneca or DeCastro.
Of course they are right to do that, but hidden gems like Warner, Brown and Brady are far tougher to find then they were in the '70s. I don't...
That is a bit of revisionist history. Plenty of people had Jones as a first-round pick. To me, the worst is Unitas. They had one of the greatest...
Looks like we agree on something. Vannett just isn't good. I don't understand anybody wanting him over Ebron. The Steelers really blew it with...
I found out a few days ago that one of my students had it, though her symptoms had passed by the time we heard about it. I'm not sure how bad they...
Circumstances are very different from the Nunn days. At that point, the Steelers had a huge advantage over most of the league in scouting. Teams...
Settle down, Beavis.
