The GOAT is Leaving New England... And Going to Tampa
-
Because he's a winner and you were envious that the Browns couldn't find just 1/3 his equal for even a single season.
It doesn't matter how he finishes his career. He'll always be remembered as the greatest to play the position and those that "forget" that fact, simply don't understand the game.
Otto Graham. Oh, you forgot about him...or don't understand the game.

Lol. Makin sure the youngsters know about Otto!
Don't fret, no one has forgotten about your dear old Otto, but certainly he's not the GOAT. That goes to Brady.
#10 GOAT on one list and #5 on the other.

I don't know why, but I just have never liked the guy. Just something about him. I think he needs to simply retire. He's fading fast as a QB, and he should quit while people still remember how good he was, not for hanging on too long.

He's a Trump supporter. That's got to be it.

I really hate the GOAT label. No one can really claim that. I prefer the Greatest of His Era title. The game has changed so much I don't think anyone can say a certain player is the GOAT. Jmho.

Except for Jim Brown.

Didn't forget. Tom is better.
Didn't forget. Tom is better.
Except, of course, Otto achieved more in half the career length that Brady had.
10 years, 10 Championship game appearances, 7 wins....Otto
20 years....9 Championship game appearances...6 wins...Brady
And don't give me BS that is was easier for OG because of the size of the league, because in a certain sense, it may have been harder. And if it was so easy....then why did no one else or maybe one guy even come close to achieving half of OGs. (the one guy being Sid Luckman...4 titles in 7 years).
Its all recency bias.

oh boy....that's our Gipper!

Yep.....someone who is perfectly accurate with his historic perspectives. The facts are the fact. You may not like them, they may not fit into your personal biases, but they are the facts.
Just because you are young Woody is no reason to be uninformed.

Pretty fair comment.

Again, just one author's opinion. Recency bias.
We could say that Patrick Mahomes is the GOAT because no one did what he did before in history....like come back 3 times after being behind by double digits in the playoffs.

Are we talking about the greatest player to ever play the position or the greatest player relative to the other players in their era?
Given the size and speed of players back when Jim Brown played what do we think Adrian Peterson would have done?
On an objectively, in a vacuum, skill based level players are getting better. Could any WR from the 60s catch the ball like Odell can? Or just compare the average WR.

Hope he packs a ton of sanitizer. With a bunch of old folks living there and idiotic spring breakers it's going to be bad there for awhile.

No, it's not. China has already reversed the course. Tampa will be an easier ride than China.

OLmen were 220 lbs in Brown's days.

The fact that he owned the Steelers in the playoffs really helped me to like him.
One day ( I hope) the Browns will own the Steelers again, and win the dam AFC North consistently.

No. The fact that I am right does, if you just go by the numbers.
Did your Michifuck education learn you that 10 is more than 9; and that 7 is more than 6. And that 10 is half of 20?

JIm Brown was bigger Than Adrian Peterson: 6'2 232 compared to 6'1" 220. and probably stronger than Adrian Peterson..just based on the fact that he could drag defenders all over the field. And fast? They didn't really measure stuff like 40 times back then.
And could any WR from the 60s catch balls like Odell can? (better question: can any WR from the 2010s catch balls like Odell can...likely not). But I seem to recall that Paul Warfield could do very well.
But here is a clue for you about WRs from the 60s: As a general rule they had to be stouter than WRs today. Or they had to be shifty. Why? Because unlike now, those WRs were banged all over the field. There was no 5 yard illegal contact rule. They had to bang bodies all the down the field on their routes. Even the fast guys had to be tougher, like Charley Taylor.
Again, ask the question: what would today's receivers be like, or have to do to succeed if the rules in place now to protect them were not there. If they could be shoved, pushed, knocked down anywhere, anytime? As long as the ball was not in the air coming to them.

Oh please. Let's not bring that subject into it when you've been objectively incorrect on it before.
Hell, you didn't even know what Sam, Will and Mike LBs were and now you're proclaiming your great football knowledge?
Gimme a break

Do you think the guys Brown was dragging around were the same size, strength and speed as the guys AP is dragging around?
Brown was an absolute physical freak for his time. No doubt. But he's much more in line with players we're seeing today.
