[QUOTE="VanC, post: 731922, member: 3355"] That's always something to consider. Take Jay Cutler, please. ;-) Now I'm not saying he'll ever be as good as Favre, but there's a lot of similarities between him now and where Favre was when he was 26. Put Cutler on this years Vikings and Favre on this year's Bears and things would have been a lot different for both. I've also wondered about Jerry Rice. Did Montana and Young make him better or did he make them better? A little of both, I suppose. Archie's like a good bull that outproduces himself. ;-) And let's not forget the oldest son, Cooper. He was a pretty darn good receiver till some kind of spinal disease ended his playing days. Actually, Archie was a pretty good QB in his day. He just played for some really, REALLY bad teams. Another thing I thought of that makes it hard to compare different eras is the advances in medicine. In the old days, guys would pop a couple of pills, or even down a couple shots of whiskey, and get back in there. Not saying some guys don't play hurt now, but more and more of them are concerned with the long term now instead of the game at hand. Plus lots of things can be "fixed" now that couldn't back then. I was at the game in 1986 when Illinois retired Dick Bukus' number 50. The guy could hardly walk, and he was sill in his mid 40's then. [/QUOTE]
