He did play in an era where defense reigned and the DBs could beat you up.


but see... when the Mel Blount rule was administered I'm sure observers thought it was crap too.

why don't we go back and cherry pick against Dan Marino, Joe Montana, and John Elway for their efforts along the way too while we're at it?

no one is saying that today's game is perfect but I'm tired of old farts like Swann.

I mean he knows he isn't/wasn't as good as Megatron. Otherwise he wouldn't say dumb crap like that. He probably misses the times when he was a big deal.

and that.. I can sort of understand.

I watched them all.

And while the game today is soft and somewhat bullshite and can't touch this person can't touch that person...

Johnson was a far bigger threat than Swann ever was.

Swann became a media darling and had some highlites but if his team doesn't win SBs ever year - Swann is just another receiver,

But he is right about Johnson...in today's game...you have to do a hell of alot more to get in.

There's a backlog of receivers. It's pass happy bingo. And there's a waiting line.

And no receiver is getting in ala Gayle Sayers in today's game.
