Jerry "World" Rice

[Wazmankg]

I'm betting in that La Tech game Totten was injured, or something similiar, and it was the last game of the season. Something unusual going on there, just guessing.

Sure if we delved into the big schools in 84 we'd find a few teams MVP could handle.

As I mentioned they didn't even win their conference. So were there a few crappy big schools they maybe could have beaten in a 1-off? Perhaps.

But we could say that about other teams in their division as well.. Alcorn Sate who did win their conference and also beat MVS, for example. 1 guy at WR doesn't turn a football team into some world beater.

Didn't know this thread was about the Pats. Stick to the topic.

Using stickum for the entirety of his career was or was not cheating in your opinion?

I am sticking to the topic. I only said that because you went outta your way to try and discredit Rice's career. Never said he didn't cheat. But there was no reason to bring that up in the first place. Also do you think Rice was the only player of his era doing that?

It's funny how some of you Pats fans never pass the opportunity up to discredit a players career while ignoring that your team has also cheated. But like I said, that's different isn't it?

What's next? Maybe you can mention the 70's Steel Curtain dynasty and steroids even though steroids were a league wide problem back then.

Some research on that La Tech vs MVS game in 1984


Totten completed 44 of 75 passes for 485 yards — each a I-AA record at the time —but was intercepted six times, twice by Kelly, twice by Adams, and twice by Harry Jackson.

"We did something nobody else did: we sacked the quarterback," Johnson said, who got the quick-triggered Totten once for minus-7 yards. He also had 10 tackles.
"We rushed just three but one of those was Walter Johnson; they were in Totten's face all day long," Terrebonne said. "For the defense, it was a pride thing."

Rice caught 9 passes for 155 yards, but he paid for nearly every one. And for ones he didn't catch.


Yep, 6 INT's will do it.

Hmmmm?

Alcorn vs MVS

Mississippi Valley, Alcorn State and The Game of The Century

Nearly thirty five years after it was played, the 1984 Alcorn State-Mississippi Valley game remains one of the most important in HBCU history.

I just said.....takes more than just a WR.

Not talking about beating USC, Bama, Texas, Notre Dame etc,

You are completely avoiding the question and deflecting. Is using stickum for the entirety of your career cheating or not? It's a one word answer pal. Yes or no.

Are you for real?

 

[Wazmankg]

The Mel Blount Rule was in 1978, Rice played all of his career under rules that opened up the passing game.....

He did. But I'm referring to the rule that prohibits hitting a so-called "defenseless player". I believe that came in within the past 10 years or so. It changed the way receivers conduct themselves on routes, basically removing the fear factor for going over the middle.

What part of never said he didn't cheat do you not understand? But how does the league itself look at Rice? Nobody calls him a cheater like that. You think he was the only player doing that? Or do you feel he should be the only one called out for it? Where's your outrage that HOFer Fred Biltetnikoff cheated?

You can try to diminish what Rice accomplished. Won't work with me, I think he's an all time great. But the funny thing is if Rice was a Pat you're opinion on this would be much different.

Guys were catching a 100 passes a seasons in the 60's.

I'll agree Rice is the measuring stick for WRs, but I have a question.

Statement, a question without a....?

Then you're WRONG.

You won't find him on any top 50 lists, and it is a shame. No HOF talk, no nothing. But he was a good as it got.
