re: NFL Thread: Week 4 - RIP Steve Sabol GOAT - Anyone see that GB/Sea game?
First of all, as a Bears fan...Cutler needs to stop being a whiny little bitch when things don't go well. Were he to hit me and I was a player we'd be throwing down, don't care whether he's the million-dollar QB or not.
I complain about the replacement refs blowing chunks, but the only way we're going to get anything done about it is if people stop watching or showing up for the games. That ain't going to happen.
As for Steve Sabol...RIP. I grew up with NFL Films, back to the days when I didn't have cable and watching Game of the Week was the way to see what else was going on in the NFL. The way Sabol and his dad set up the company and turned it into a huge enterprise is just amazing. I think Ed Sabol got ripped off. In 1965, he sold NFL Films to the NFL and then-commish Pete Rozelle for $1 million. That company is worth a hell of a lot more.
Thanks for the memories, Steve, this song is for you and you will be greatly missed.

Bravado like that would get Lovie to fire your ass in a heartbeat. Nobody on that offensive line better lay a finger on the franchise QB. See what happened with DJ Moore for even speaking out? The club fined him for conduct detrimental to the team. J. Webb would have been cut the next day if he retaliated. Smart move to not do so. We all know he wouldn't find a job elsewhere.

As for Gore being the all time leading Niner rusher...
...and I never argued with any of this. As I stated in my post though, it's easy to list the good players on the bad teams. However, if their play isn't elevated, it's what the coach is doing with the average players that's making a difference.
And your link is wrong. It's Perry. Your link doesn't include the rushing statistics from the 48 and 49 seasons when the 49ers were a part of the AAFL. Perry holds the 49er rushing record - just not the NFL version of it.

IDK. I haven't watched much football this year, tbh. I am of the opinion that the quality has gone down dramatically with these new referees. I do think Cutler will have 4,000-4,500 yards and anywhere from 26-32 TD's. Whether or not you think that's MVP quality, is up to you, if that stat line materializes by the end of the year.
