re: If Archie ever had an offensive line to speak of,

if I'm looking purely at the numbers and I didn't know it was bradshaw, I would say it is impressive given the era. Then I would want to see individual seasons and a complete listing of the other passing offenses that year. Comp data so to speak. And I'd want to see completion percentage and YPA

Then I would remind you that I'm not judging archie purely on stats (which if I did would crush your silly notion that he was a HOF caliber QB)

I'm arguing that if he was a GREAT qb, he would have performed like a GREAT qb...as all GREAT qbs do.

Tom Brady took over a 5-11 pats team that started 1-2? 1-3? and took them to the super bowl. He did so with troy brown and david patten (both under 6 ft I believe) as his top wideouts...his greatness didn't care who was on his team.

and that was only his first year starting
