That bit of trivia about Price was something I stumbled across in research for my upcoming book; it was really the only thing I knew about Eddie Price. Looking at Price's 1953 season gamelogs at PFR.com: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/P/PricEd00/gamelog/1953/ He didn't have a single...

Do we have anything close to relatively complete stats for Latone? What about other contemporaries, like Friedman, Grange, or Nevers? These and other early NFL guys interest me heavily, but I've never been able to find any more on them than is on their PFR cards.

I never noticed that '53 season - I would guess he wasn't healthy - really odd - but I don't have the answer. I did take a look at Ken and Matt's scouting report on Sanders - they only had 3 games, but one thing I learned to check was that it did include games in his prime. One of the games was the...

Slam dunk for HOVG? How highly do we value the USFL? It seemed to be a difference maker for Jim Kelly.

Speaking of Eddie Price - how in the world did he take 100 carries for 200 yards one year?! Just that one random godawful season, and otherwise he was very good before and after. I don't get it. Eddie Price in 1951 was only one of two players ever to lead the league in rushing yards despite having ...

is it possible Darius Leonard may have had the best season ever by a MLB last year? All except he's not really their MLB. Anthony Walker was the MLB in base. Then, in nickel was one of the 2 ILBers----. He's certainly an off-the-ball LBer who in a defense that was in sub defenses more than base, so...

Great answer - I like the Albert and Sanders examples. Sanders was around 1400 at 6 yards a pop, but if you were trying to win the '47 NFL title, do you want him or Van Buren? What's blank ink? Black ink not blank, as in, black numbers on PFR. Leading the league in a category. Re: Sanders vs. Van B...

Graham had an uncharacteristically bad year in 50, his worst ever rating and no black numbers, probably because it was his first year in the NFL. Wasn't the AAFC competition about the same as the NFL competition? I've heard the same, but I look at Frankie Albert's career arc and I seriously wonder....

I can't believe it took so long for some of these guys, like Powell, to get in. He's a borderline HOF candidate. And why is the required time between retirement and eligibility 25 years?
