Worst RBs/WRs with a 1000 yard season?

With James Robinson being released by his third team in a year, I think we can all step back and ask "what was that?!" This guy went from complete afterthought UDFA, to 1000-yard featured back as a rookie, back to complete afterthought in a matter of two years. It made me wonder what are t...

Re: Herschel has found some rivals...

My favorite trade of all-time came in the 1982 NFL Draft when Tampa Bay wanted to draft unheralded DE Booker Reese from Bethune-Cookman in the first round (they thought he would be the next Lee Roy Selmon). Due to a bad communication to NY, the Buccaneers ended drafting G Sean Farrell from Penn Sta...

Re: Gradishar, Art Powell, Steve McMichael Senior Committee Nomi

I'd think Powell getting in would make it easier for Hennigan, at least. The difference between them is largely one of Powell having a more consistent high level of output versus Hennigan having some preposterous years and some more ordinary ones. Similar career lengths. Hennigan actually has more h...

Re: 2023 Hall of Very Good Finalists

I want to ask about Alyn Beals. Yes, Alyn is a cool name, but it just seems like there's a big backlog of receivers better than Beals? He benefited greatly from prime Frankie Albert, all he did was catch touchdowns, and like his quarterback, he did not acclimate well to the NFL. Why did he of everyo...

Re: 2023 Predictions

What makes you think the Bucs will repeat? We've gotten much worse from last year's 8-9 team, while the other teams have added Bijan Robinson, Derek Carr, and Bryce Young. I am more inclined to think we'll be one of the worst teams in the NFL.

Herschel has found some rivals...

...for "subject of the worst trade ever"! Namely, Russell Wilson and Trey Lance (the draft pick used to get him) are the contenders. With Lance having just been shipped off for a 4th, we can put a wrapper on that story once and for all; there remains at least a chance for a Wilson redempti...

Re: 2023 Hall of Very Good Finalists

Coy Bacon is a long time coming. Herschel surely ought to get in first ballot. Tasker might, given he was a HOF finalist multiple times. Nice to see Tanks eat another W with Christensen. Didn't Henry Ellard become eligible this year also, or is that next? There's no way no one even nominated him if ...

Re: Gradishar, Art Powell, Steve McMichael Senior Committee Nomi

New account! Hello again. Super pumped to see these picks! I've been beating the drum for Gradishar (but so has everyone else) and Powell (...mainly just me, at least here, so I'll count this as a W) for years, as some of you may recall. Waiting until 2019 to put Powell in the HOVG was... let's just...
