Thank you. Brother.

I don't get why Branch doesn't get the love.

He changed the game.

Branch doesn't get credit because of Al Davis and that generations writers hate of him.

Veterans committee is going to get him in eventually.

Al Davis is starting to get recognition of what he really was. But back then he was portrayed as an ingrate hateful man

Not feel bad about playground feeling

Branch was the man.

Allen was amazing

Freddy B was the Chris Carter.

Huh? I hope you're not saying they all played together.

I find it amazing Oakland cut Freddy and he ended his career in the CFL.

Largest is one of the best possession receiver of al time if the this good enough. He had good hands and he ran good routes.

I would say Jerry Rice and Randy Moss rank above him. Where you put Irvin or Chris Carter of Lynn Swann or John Jefferson and so on is up for debate.

My dad is the biggest Steelers fan there is, but even he was surprised that Swann made it into the HoF.

Sure he was surprised

Swann hate has intensified since he got put in. But it was in no way controversial. He was that good and him being out there allowed Stallworth to do his thing. Ask the Raiders who they feared more and geared up to stop by trying to cheap shot him out of games. Swann and Stallworth changed what you used the WR for and how to pair them up.

Much like Rice/Taylor and Playmaker/Harper.
