The troll calling someone else a troll.



You asked a dumb question. I answered the dumb question.

Don't like it? Don't ask dumb questions.

They dominate opponents and limit negatives and 39 TOs are a BIG negative that entail recklessness and inefficiency


I'm sorry but this is completely meaningless without context. For someone beating people over the head with advanced metrics thats pretty amazing. Sadly you do your own stats based arguments a disfavor by saying stuff like this.

Wow, bc Mark Rypien had an amazing season where he was incredibly efficient


Did he? He had a very good season but hardly "amazing" he completed 59% of his passes which was pretty good back then, though not so hot now if we are going to judge the 78 Steelers based on modern TO numbers. In 89 Montana completed 70% unheard of then and was 20 points better than the #2 guy, now that is an amazing season.

Another batch of sorryass counters attempting to transpose certain contexts onto another context to win an argument when it's quite evident that none of that can be proven or accurately adjusted. You take the teams for when they played and assess based off their accomplishments within the league THAT year. Is this too difficult to comprehend? There's no impartial, simulated adjudicator unaffected by extraneous factors to determine this, so that entire counter is COMPLETELY MOOT. #ThankYouComeAgain

It's not, that's why you can't make a blanket statement like a team with 39 turnovers can not be considered the best because that's too many mistakes you have no idea without providing the context of THAT season.

Turnovers are turnovers, I don't care how hard you attempt to spin it. IIRC, the league average in 91 for turnovers was roughly 35 but the Redskins only committed 23 with a +18 TO margin and thus that translated to a higher MOV than the 78 Steelers against a tougher schedule. Rypien threw half the int amount Bradshaw did and they fumbled the ball less, I don't see the dispute.

ESPN did their ultimate Super Bowl rankings - ranking every Super Bowl team in history.


And..other people have said the 91 redskins were the best of all time. Including Fox Sports among others.

I'm not sure I'm willing to call Monk 'great'.

For his time, especially in the Gibbs offense, he most certainly was.

But the Redskins were great enough to not create their own negatives and still dominate opponents and win the championship. Both have the same record and the SB but Redskins incurred less TOs and higher TO margin.

Well what was the league avg in 78? That's the point you are missing, we don't know the context, were they over or under the avg and +/- are more telling than the raw numbers that's all I'm saying.

I know this will upset people like PJ, but I think Bradshaw is overrated. That said, the rules and offense changed over time, int totals across the board are much lower over time.

He was overrated... no argument here... he has amazing players around him on both sides of the ball... however in his last two SB's he was really good.....
