Stokes will never be the same. There's hope for Watson.
smuggler 06-02-2024, 10:27 AMYes and no. Many (most) of those older players, playing as they did then, if inserted into todays game, would get destroyed. Some (e.g. Jim Brown, Willie
Patler 06-02-2024, 09:57 AMThat's my feeling, too; and I was a fan during the Lombardi era. Guys played with their "trick" knees and shoulders, and suited up so long
Patler 06-02-2024, 09:12 AMThose old players would get destroyed in today’s game lmao. Stupid comparison. I’m sure Tex’s comparison as an overweight retiree occasionally beating
call_me_ishmael 06-02-2024, 08:48 AMFirst, the game was entirely different back then so who cares how the "injury" rates compare. Half the time those guys just went out and played
bobblehead 06-02-2024, 08:20 AMYou said there were far less games missed for injuries back then. That's false, unless you have the stats to prove it. I'll wait
sharpe1027 06-02-2024, 12:18 AMWhine on hahahahaha.
My original claim that you speak of was that diet crap - "eating right" have little or nothing to do with
Poster makes claim with no evidence. Calls out another poster for having no evidence when they disagree. Second poster provides evidence supporting, but
sharpe1027 06-01-2024, 08:59 PMThose injury stats end 39 years ago. It certainly seems like there are more games missed due to injury now in the past 5, 10, 15. 20 years than way back
texaspackerbacker 06-01-2024, 08:05 PMScott, I think I have been very clear that its happening. I just don't agree with it. And Love 2nd in the entire league? Maybe. Its got to be a QB
bobblehead 06-01-2024, 07:40 PMyea, I remember reading about Max ordering Grub hub fast food all the time. He would use his smart phone. And don't get me started on his video game
bobblehead 06-01-2024, 07:33 PMEating right might not matter. There weren't less injuries back then.

You actually got something right in this post. In your others, not so much. You failed to mention how old you are or were during the Lombardi era. I was
texaspackerbacker 06-01-2024, 07:04 PMI voted Watson. But it's a monkey throwing a dart vote.
Scott Campbell 06-01-2024, 05:07 PMMike Tannenbaum went on Dan Patrick yesterday and said if there was a draft where you could pick any player, he's taking Mahomes first and Jordan Love

Fritz 06-01-2024, 02:56 PMYou made the original statement. I have provided just as much evidence as you have.
sharpe1027 06-01-2024, 02:10 PMhahahaha One of the "usual suspects" chimes in. How old were you during the Lombardi era? (negative numbers are acceptable)
HELL
Poll: Did UW fix Watson and/or Stokes?
Awesome post, Patler.
RashanGary 06-02-2024, 12:16 PMI get a kick out of how most people argue that those guys couldn’t play today. Have human beings changed so
