steelmen Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Top 10 of players of RB's of the past 25 years maybe, but all-time, no, I don't think he's really in that bracket at all. However, I think much of the argument about Davis is often repeated about Gale Sayers, similar lengths and shapes of career. If you contend that Sayers is top 10 all-time, then fair enough doing the same with Davis. I never saw Sayers play, but it's quite simple for me in that no matter the inherent talent, a player who is only effective for 5 or so years can't credibly be considered alongside players who did the same thing for twice as long in a lot of cases. I suppose you can argue that point to an extent about Barry Sanders and Jim Brown as well though, although I'd counter that by saying that both of those players quit on their terms rather than having to give the game up. I think both could have easily played and remained highly effective for at least 2-3 more years, although I have a suspicion that Brown was always a hell of a lot more injured than he ever let on.I can only really judge in what I’ve saw and heard and the fact he is 1 of the 20+ RB’s in the HoF. Sure he only played 4 full seasons but the impact he had during that period was special. He was the best player in the NFL for 2 of those seasons.Sayers was a player before my time, so I can only judge him on what I’ve heard and he seems to have been an immense player. You wouldn’t get your star players being returners nowadays.All about opinions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Clyde Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Chargers August injury curse strikes again Yeah, they should have the strongest Defence in the AFC West, but injuries always seem to hit them badly. Losing James again is a killer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Clyde Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 We're pretty short at RB. Montgomery is out for 2-4 weeks, meaning Tarik Cohen and Cordarelle Patterson are slated to be our starting RBs.I think we have been trying out C.J. Prosise, which doesn't thrill me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Didn't you used to be able to get Gamepass for a week or a month? Looked online and you can only buy a year pass, no way can I justify spending that. Would only use it for the Bears games that won't be on Sky anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
