[Brasky]

splain yo self fool

I'd take Faulk, but they're both pretty fucking awesome

 

[outlaw okie]

Faulk was so good from a Fantasy Football perspective that I cant think of a player who ever scored so many points, but If I were a coach in the NFL I would take LT over Faulk in a heartbeat.


Davis was the best RB I've ever seen in the NFL prior to injury...Bo Jackson was immortal so he don't count.

We should do some sort of playoff with this, have like the top 16 backs of all time and pit them against each other and vote and discuss...

Would be fun but for me the no doubt top 3 are Brown, Sweetness and Sanders in some order. The 4th guy would be more fun to discuss and argue.

Already posted the playoff, I think most will agree on the top 3 or 4 but there should be some good discussion in difference of opinions in the early matchups.

Wow. I don't get this "it's not even close" stuff at all. They were basically the same guy. Both were great double threat HOF backs. Both top 10 all-time. Can't go wrong with either in their prime or all time.

Off topic, but I cry every day thinking about the fact that we let Drew Brees go because we were comfortable with Rivers.

That wasn't the case. Once Brees had surgery on his throwing shoulder (torn labrum), it wasn't clear if he would ever be the same.

SD offered him 5yrs 50mil but only 2mil was guaranteed the first year and the rest was based on performance incentives due to not seeing him play a full season after surgery. Brees said fuck that and demanded top 5 QB money.

Chargers refused and then NO offered 10mil first year and a 12mil option the following year.

He himself not knowing if he would fully return to form, did the smart thing. He went for more guaranteed money.

...So we were more comfortable with Rivers. Could have made a counter offer. Didn't. Brees Superbowls: 1. Rivers: nil

I know the entire back story, and I'm not saying the Bolts made a dumb decision at the time. I'm just saying regardless, we let a much better quarterback slip through our fingers.

IMO Brees wouldn't be the same player that he became in NO if he had stayed in SD. Unless the Chargers built a dome and hired Payton.

Agreed, he would still be a pretty good QB but he wouldn't be throwing for 35 and 4,500 every season.

Obviously you are by bringing up what Brees has done since he left and him being the "much better QB"

It's not like Rivers turned out to be Tebow or Colt McCoy.
