re: Counter list best 2000s players as I feel most these 50s-70s guys wouldn't be much today

Yeah, I guess he’d say Pete Maravich couldn’t compete in today’s game. At some point in the past players used to play offense and defense. I understand the point, but some of today’s players don’t have the stamina to play the whole game. Billy Canon, Tommy Casanova, and others were the impact players of their time, I won’t take anything away from them. The rules have changed so much. I remember Warren Capone’s job on the receiving team was to, “block” the opposing teams’ kickers. It was very funny to watch the kickers sprint for the sidelines to avoid getting their brains knocked out. I know he played for Alabama, but can you imagine how good a healthy Joe Namath would be in today’s game? Or Johnny Unitas? Or Bert Jones, Archy Manning, and Terry Bradshaw?

I think there are people on this forum that have never played any team sports growing up and don’t have an appreciation of “normal” versus extraordinary or natural gifted athletes. There is a lot of “fans” that spend time to memorize stats and contemplate and theorize without a knowledgeable base. You’ll never convince them.
