Guess the theme

NFL vs AD99

Little crazy comparisons.

Deon Sanders vs Charles Haley ?

Sort of reversed teams,but Haley is the SuperBowl King.

Brady - Haley ?

 

[So Ram]

Mahomes - Russell Wilson

I think Stafford ends up with more SB wins than Rodgers. Rodgers has 11 wins in the playoffs and Stafford already has 4. They both have 1 Super Bowl win. More importantly, Stafford is a good human being, Rodgers is an asshole diva.

Interestingly, Wilson only has one SB win but has 16 playoff wins.

Maybe I'm over-reading this, but... the "theme" I saw in the list of the OP was "loudmouth character or controversial big personality" vs "humble steady veteran. "

(Only exception being OBJ v Woods, but before he got here, I thought OBJ was a diva, but now I see him as a great teammate.)

Big controversial personalities? Rodgers, Irvin, Gastineau, Vick, Sapp, Favre... all the guys listed first.

Humble, classy vets? Ryan, Jackson, Bruce, Rice, Donald, Warner..... all the guys listed second.

That's the theme I saw, anyway....

More hype vs more substance?

I've said for years, give me a professional who knows football over any over hyped athletic freak. Fisher's and Snead's drafts used to drive me nuts.

As soon as McVay showed up he started bringing in high character players with great football intelligence, like Woods and Whitworth. Ditto with his coaches, no coach Hollers, no coaches with a history of bounties, etc,... This reminded me more of the Rams that I grew up with from the 70's and 80's.
