Apparently this will be chosen by a panel of historic OL greats rather than by the AP media panel that does other awards. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I'm part of this too. Hardest part was figuring out how to handle QBs who straddled the pre- and post-Super Bowl era such as Starr and Unitas. The three QBs who just missed my Top 30 were Palmer, Starr, and Burrow. [contains quote post or other embedded…

The most interesting thing about flag football in the Olympics is who would win silver and bronze. I guess I would lean Samoa and Canada. Japan and Mexico will be interesting. Germany? Will there be rules like in the WBC? A Korea team with guys like Kyle…

Speaking as a non-Eagles fan, it really does feel like the only reason to ban the tush push is that the Eagles are successful at it.

Thanks for @brykno.bsky.social for pointing out to me that the 49ers had the highest DVOA ever for a team with 11+ losses. The only other two 11-loss teams with positive DVOA were 2001 SD (went from 5-11 to 8-8) and 1996 BAL (4-12 to 6-9-1). Also high on…

With Chris Weinke, it's less that his game didn't translate to the NFL and more that his age prevented him from developing any further. Manziel definitely goes on the list, and Crouch too! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Oh, Taylor Mays is a good one. Also, Jason White and Pat White. Obviously if you go back before the year 2000, you get guys like Charlie Ward. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I think an interesting list is the best college players who didn't translate to the NFL. Tim Tebow is obviously No. 1. I don't know if Reggie Bush would be on that list... he was good in the NFL but obviously not the weapon he was at USC. [contains quote…

The 49ers are going to be an interesting experiment in what happens if you pay top players what they absolutely deserve. We can argue whether Purdy is "Top 10" but Kittle and Warner are the best in the league at their positions.

The early 80s 49ers had a strong safety named Ricky Gervais. OK, he went by Rick, but still. That was when the other Ricky Gervais looked like this.

One thing you realize when you go back and watch NFL games from the 80s is how good Tom Jackson was when he was a player, before he was on TV. So many forced fumbles!

The 1983 NFL draft is known for QBs but if you look, this was a really great first round overall. Dickerson 2, Curt Warner 3. Jim Covert 6 and Bruce Matthews 9 are HOF. Darrell Green 28. Tons of other Pro Bowlers. Even a non-PB like B.R.Smith had a 12-yr…

You want this to be the rare extension for an older running back that turns out to be a good idea. You really want it. The odds are not good, as special as Henry has been. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
