Would be destroyed.

Any old athlete in any sport would be on the practice squad compared to today's freak athletes.
No disrespect, and all the old great ones would whip my but, but it's true.

You're brush is way too broad.

JC, with modern training would still be a freak. Same with Butkus, Sayers, Nitschke, etc..


Read the entire thread.


I'm sure all the old ones would whip your butt this very day.

So you are saying Wilt would only be a practice squadder? Jim Brown? Johny U? JORDAN? Won't get into the Cannon argument, but will say he played 90% + both ways in an era when substitions were severely limited. Coach Dietzel always said that to him, the greatest thing about the punt return was the fact that Cannon was in that great a shape to make it happen in the 4th quarter on a nite when the heat & humidity were off the charts & he had only been off the field for a few plays the whole game. And he was also All SEC & an All American in track. But your comment bout old timers just shows your age.
