Good thing the NFL hasn't changed in 25 years

Do you think, woodpecker, the short receivers don't exist in

the nfl today?

Ask around, get a clue.

Hawkins is even shorter than the three amigos...

he's only 5'7", 180. He was signed by the Browns.just this year, from the Bengals,

who highly valued him, but they are stacked at wr.

See, it was a point about Hawkins being short, and to not underestimate him.

But it's okay, nobody underestimates you. How can you underestimate worthless?.

what no manziel weekend beef? it's down to the 'height of the WR argument? lol.

i guess his celebrity has fallen off.

I bet Elway would have loved a 6'3" 230 lb. reciever who could win jump balls, but they were A LOT harder to come by in them days.

I would think the the more offense friendly rules, shorter receivers would have it easier today than they did 25 years ago. But that's something you don't do, think independently.

he had Shannon Sharp too

Wow... So much hate. Poor babies

Any comparison of now to 25 years ago to gauge the skill level of our team is Retarded. Compare our WR heights to those of recent, successful teams. Maybe you get the same result, maybe you don't, but at least its relevant (even if some think its not that important to begin with)

LOL -cousin It sings the second half !!

slowburn

why this thread hasn't been shit-canned by admin is beyond me.\

please no more bronco/Elway topics

Remarker

I guess Percy Harvin is too short too. Hahaha

Shannon Sharpe didn't play with the 3 Amigos, I think the TE was Orson Mobley FYI....but I agree with slowburn, hell with the Broncos. They're right up there with the Steelers and Ratbirds on my hate list.

I still shudder when I remember that whole era. We had such a great team, but our big flaw was a lack of any pass rush, and the stupid prevent D that cost us dearly.

calfoxwc

My bad. I wouldn't have ever brought it up if it hadn't been

for talk about Hawkins and his size. I expect great things

from him.

i was glad to see a strong defense go into the super bowl and totally dominate the game against horseface II and the vaunted #1 offense.

while i love colorado and would move there in a heartbeat the football team and their fans can forever kiss my ass.

The gig in Denver was great.

I kinda dig the music scene there because like Cleveland ( at least at one point) there were alot of good local acts.

But beside that. Fuck Denver. Nothing but heartache and them pitying us (if ptiying us is a word) with Horse face's gummy grin.

Talent wise IMO they were no match. Denver on offense was a one trick pony (pun intended) with a side "Sammy

" Winder

They didn't truly evolve until they got Atwater, Sharpe, and Davis.

They got better on defense and had a horse in the running game.

this year, they're the favorite amongst the pundits to repeat as AFC champs........

i tell you what though, if horseface II goes down, that horse won't finish the race.

The team that won last year's conference title is almost universally selected to repeat. They won't.
