I started following the Bucs in the late 90’s so all the old NFC Central teams of the era. I mean Favre, Reggie White, Barry Sanders, Daunte Culpepper and Randy Moss. That was a stacked division at the time. The Bucs defense was always fun, watching them completely shithouse Favre and Vick on a regular basis. Getting into football by following the Bucs when the Culverhouse family sold the team is probably the perfect time and place to start.

Colin Klein at Kansas State is what got to actually enjoy watching football as an activity instead of as background noise for another activity so that's definitely my pick. Can't wait to hear most of a generation say either Mahomes or Lamar Jackson for theirs.

That's a good answer. Mine is easy. When I was a kid I liked football even if I didn't understand it very much. But there was one man that was superhuman and I loved. That was the Nigerian Nightmare himself, Christian Okoye. People here might be too young to remember his early career when he straight trucked fools. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vukHw_H4bQ uh, sound OFF

I'm a shameful bandwagoner so I didn't get into football until the the Hasselback Seahawks started winning games. In my defense being a 90's Mariners fan destroyed a lot of my faith in professional sports.

Ray Lewis and Shannon Sharpe in 2000. People went nuts at the stadium when Ray Lewis would come out and after a while they started even playing the song "Hot in Here" by Nelly and shooting flames up in there air and he would do his dance. It was wild. And of course "big play shay" was a lot of fun the way he'd jabber on. Oh and don't forget Jamal Lewis. These guys brought me in to a sport I previously thought was just kinda boring.

ASAPRockySituation posted:Todd Pinkston made me the man I am today. I loved watching him play in college, but the funny thing was he was the second best of an amazing WR duo with Sherrod Gideon. Gideon had a high ankle sprain late in his senior year and was never the same; the Saints took him late in the draft but he never made it out of camp. He did a few years in the CFL; I genuinely think if he hadn't gotten hurt he'd have had a better NFL career than Pinkston (that catch aside) For me though, it was Reggie Collier. The first NCAA QB to both rush and pass for more than 1,000 yards, he destroyed Tulane in the first football game I ever saw live at 6 years old. He could have been Randall Cunningham years earlier. He got drafted #3 overall in the first USFL draft; a hip and later a knee injury wiped him out, and then the cocaine problems started. The Cowboys ended up signing him (he was the first ever black Cowboys QB on roster), but his substance abuse issues just overcame everything. An all-time Could Have Been that very few people nowadays remember. Jesus, did he destroy Tulane. My first imprint as a football fan was an amazing dual threat QB; I always wondered what was missing after that until Cunningham came along.

Tom Sellout posted:Ths sheer brilliance of DeMarcus Ware was a sight to behold. He had a knack for making huge plays on third downs and late in games that I'm not sure I've seen from many other pass rushers. Shame those teams never accomplished much. He received an apology from the league for an offsides penalty where he had just timed the snap perfectly. He was incredible at that.

Hot Diggity! posted:Here's a good topic, who's a player that made you love football? Robert Brooks was one of mine along with Antonio Freeman and Sterling Sharpe. It was Jerry Rice for me. 8 year old Waah got a book about Rice from a book fair and when I found out he got good at football by catching the bricks his dad dropped while building walls, I was sold.

I was born in the early 80's. By the time I got into football, Barry Sanders had just been drafted by the Lions. My all-time favorite football player. He deserves so much better than he was given. Barry Sanders on probably any other team would drag them across the finish line to a minimum of 1 championship.

Ha, just remembered that time when Wayne Fontes was considered a genius for winning a playoff game solely because he coached the Lions. And coached Barry Sanders who was responsible for getting them there but oddly didn't do much during the game aside from one long run. Erik Kramer of all people went off on the goddamned Cowboys. Steve Beuerlein was somehow involved on Dallas's side?

Steve Beuerlein was somehow involved on Dallas's side? Beuerlein started the last 5 games of that season because Aikman injured his knee against Washington. Jimmy rode him until he sputtered and crawled back to Aikman halfway through the game when they were getting blown out. (and pissed Aikman off enough to where he was gonna demand a trade before Johnson ended up committing to him entirely as his starting QB) Barry didn't do a ton in that game because the Cowboys committed entirely to stacking the box against the Lions' offense. The problem was that they didn't have Charles Haley yet and their second was pretty shaky that year (IIRC they didn't have Kevin Smith or Darren Woodson til next year's draft) so Kramer just picked them apart with one-on-one matchups the entire game. Dallas didn't bother adjusting til it was way too late to do anything about it. Though I think that was the game in which Barry just blew right past most of the Cowboys' D when the game was basically decided by that point. it's the one where Tony Casillas had his back to him because he thought Barry went down and just blew past him lol.
