The only thing Pollard and Dorsett have in common right now is their first name. I hope Pollard does great things for us but to compare them right now is kind of silly. Talk about a great player we don’t talk much about on this board - Dorsett was amazing and we kind of forget about him.
I was commenting on your take of players past. JB playing in any era is my point just like most other top players.
Jim brown had the size to play in any era, most players back then are undersized compared to todays players
they were really deep at running back dorsetts first several seasons so it was just as well. Still I think he was 2nd all time leading nfl rusher at the time of retirement
You guys don’t read so well.
NO ONE..
Uh... I completely agreed with you.
You defended TD as if he needed it.
He also had a great line, great offense great defense great coaching.
Wow. Really?
He’d also have access to the modern PEDs in todays game. Players have “evolved”, through drugs though. Evolution doesn’t even happen rapidly,
Smooth runner. I do remember a couple of crucial fumbles he made - one in an NFCCG, think it was the Eagles. Man, could he motor !
I'm well aware of Dorsett's durability while in Dallas. I watched his entire career. He was traded to Denver in 1988 and produced just over 700 yards for the Broncos that season. He then tore his knee up in training camp in 1989 with Denver and his career was over. Even if surgery perfectly rebuilt his knee at that time, he had little left after his long, wonderful career. One of the true greats.
They would have the same benefits of today’s players you forget back then it was a 5 to 6 month job. 300 pound lineman are that way for a reason and for most it’s not natural .
