So a guy like Otto Graham was playing in a league where the talent pool was roughly twice as deep on any given team. That would argue that it was harder to dominate as a player or a team. But at the same time there were fewer opportunities for a talent to get discovered because roster spots were hard to come by. You didn't have to compete with a big pool where some unestablished player had a freak season, a la Kareem Hunt leading the league in rushing or Scott Mitchell throwing for a million yards. So was it easier or harder to be named to an all-star team? I think if you were a top player, it would be easier for the reason cited above. It was harder to establish yourself due to smaller rosters, but it was easier to perpetuate your reputation if you did get established. At least, that's my theory.

I would like to see Elfraud's comeback stats at home vs on the road. I would venture to say that a lot of his comebacks came from team defenses being totally gassed in the 4th quarter due to the thin air. I saw Marty's defenses suffer from that every time. Elway wasn't playing any better in the 4th quarter. The defenses just couldn't play to the same level in the 4th quarter due to the unfair advantage. Put Elfraud in any other team and I bet that he doesn't have half the comeback wins.

True, believe he beat PHI (3 wins), WAS (6 wins), KAN (7 wins) and SDC (5 wins)... I don't know how Brister was able to clear those hurdles.

Apparently another embarrassing Broncos social media video has been released similar to let's ride....uh oh
McAfee was absolutely DESTROYING the Broncos over it. How embarrassing is it being a Broncos fan right now?

Interesting, haven't seen it... saw a YT clip with McAfee from six days ago talking about a video, but I haven't seen an official video, just the speculation of one. Can it really be worse than let's ride?

If this year is half as embarrassing for the Broncos as last year was, we're in for some great entertainment.

Regardless, they’re NFL teams. An aging Bubby Brister isn’t going 4-0 without a pretty dominant roster. Supposed HOFer Russ went 0-7 last year vs the Rams, Panthers, IND, Tennessee, LV, and Jets. Last edited by RaidersOftheCellar; 07-07-2023 at 06:50 AM.. |

I get it. you guys don't like Elway cuz he spent the better part of 16 years ripping your heart out and knocked you out of the playoffs in your home stadium. |
