Yeah, that's due to the list being made in 2009 and AV really loving long careers. Brady will probably finish doubling Cunningham's career AV over the next two seasons.

You'll also note that by career AV Drew Bledsoe was better then Steve Young or Joe Montana.

For another example, Aaron Rodgers is about equal to Vinny Testaverde.

Also, not only is Ken Anderson not in the HoF, he wasn't even the best Bengals QB of his era. If I had to pick one to put into the HoF, it would be Boomer.

Hhhmmm... Yes I suppose your opinion is useless.

More yards than Bradshaw, Griese and Namath.
More TDs than Aikman, Starr and Staubach.
More QB rating titles than Montana and Marino combined.
The first QB to effectively play the WCO.

If Anderson played for an NFC:E team he would have been a first ballot HOFer. He's only overlooked because the Bengals never won a title.

No he isn't. He played at 6'2" and 300+. He may have been 20 pounds lighter than Wilfork (6'2" 325) or Raji (6'1" 333) at his leanest, and later on he was bigger. Like, just as heavy as those guys, maybe heavier.

And those are 3-4 NTs. 4-3 DTs are not necessarily as big.

Oh please. Fouts played for the Chargers in the same Era, never even got to a Superbowl, and was a first ballot hall of famer. Playing for the Bengals had nothing to do with it. He just wasn't good enough to be a first ballot guy or any further ballot guy

More yards than older QBs from an older era means nothing.
More TDs than Aikman means nothing because Aikman never had more than 25 in a season. He had an all-world RB.
Starr and Staubach (Starr in particular) played in a different era.
QB rating titles don't mean poo poo.
The first QB to effectively play the WCO? Okay, but Montana and Fouts did it better.

If Anderson was as good as Fouts or Montana he'd have gotten HoF consideration. He wasn't. Also, Boomer was better.

Anderson got plenty of consideration, he just never made it. I do agree that if he got a ring he'd probably be in, wasn't he really close a few times?

I'm in the camp that thinks he should probably be in, but I'm generally a big hall guy.

99 receiving TDs in the 30s/40s. A record that wasn't broken until Largent 40 years later. 1211 yards and 17 TDs, numbers that are comparable to any top 10 WR of TODAY, in loving 1942. That was in an eleven game season. In other words, he averaged 110 yards and 1.5 TDs a game, in 1942, an era where defenders could practically tackle the WR at the line and grab them at any point in the route. You are delusional.

110 yards and 1.5 TDs in the modern 16 game schedule would now amount to 1760 yards and 24 TDs. Who has done THAT, even with the new rules that protect WRs even more than they did in only 2001? Answer: No one. A few have come close, but seriously. Even Jerry Rice and Randy Moss have never hit 24 TDs and 1760 yards would be in the top 5 of single season yards by any WR. e: It would be 3rd behind 2012 Megatron, 1995 Jerry and 1995 Isaac Bruce.

I just wish Chad had a few more years at peak production so I could push for him, but he fell off way too young.

It's weird, cause he was never a huge speed guy. You'd think running killer routes and getting his feet down no matter what would have led to a longer career. Makes me really appreciate Hugh Jackson seeing how badly Chad struggled to learn offenses later in his career.

They're all HoFers with impressive careers. Tittle was a five time league MVP, first QB with back to back 30 TD seasons, threw 7 TDs in one game, set the single season TD record in '63. And he has a better football name :colbert:

Tittle wasn't anywhere near as far above and beyond his contemporaries as Hutson. He played in the company of better QBs. Hutson was the best WR of his era by a long loving shot and made a record that wasn't broken for 40 years. Sorry but no. Tittle owns, but he's not the best 14.

I can't think of anyone good who's worn 43 except Polamalu.

The best 97 I know of is Cullen Jenkins with the Packers and that's nowhere near HoF territory. Same with 90, we've got what, Suh? Only one I can think of. e: And Peppers on the Bears. Did he wear 90 with the Panthers? I honestly can't remember, and he's wearing 56 with the Packers.

The only 94 that even comes to mind at all is Justin Smith of the 49ers.

Also the HoF link is helpful but not definitive, since I'd put Drew Brees above all the HoF 9's and Brady above all the HoF 12's.


e: VVV If he makes the hall I drat sure won't complain. Jared Allen owns.

97 would be Bob Lilly

Hutson racked up stats against a bunch of literally crippled players.

We might as well give it to Tittle and count the numbers he put up dominating his local rec league. :colbert:
