Walls was 3 times first team All Pro and 3 times NFL interception Leader. I still put his 1982 RC in with my star dups of that year. That does show how players of the past are viewed today vs when they were playing. Today he is a common, "back in the day" he was a star.
He either lost his footing or slipped on that ****** field but he was just out of position enough not to make a play on the ball. The 80's could have been much different for each team if Clark didn't catch that...
Love the vintage hockey since you don't see anywhere near as much of it as you do older basketball, football and especially baseball!! I've always wondered what percentage of hockey cards Topps printed in any given year compared to the other three sports?? I'd guess hockey was 1 to 2% of their total production in most years. My thought is it was 70/20/8/2 as a % breakdown of Baseball/football/basketball/hockey.
I'll give you a huge "what if" that very well could have changed history. The ridiculous "Tuck Rule" call that allowed New England to keep the ball and kick the game tying fg to send the playoff game into OT where NE beat the Raiders. That was the year Tom Brady won his first Super Bowl.
2002 I believe was Brady's first S.B. Who knows about Bledsoe. He's the bad luck/good luck QB for a couple teams. 1. The Patriots for obvious reasons, and 2. The Cowboys... he also got hurt and Tony Romo took over for him as starter. Romo didn't end up with the accolades that Brady did, but IMO he was a pretty daggum good QB (QB - not field goal holder).
Meredith actually retired before the 1969 season His retirement was the reason that the very recently passed away Craig Morton became the Cowboys starting QB. The fall off from Meredith to Morton was not that great as they were 12-2 in 1968 and 11-2-1 in 1969.
Ya I was looking at his seasonal stats and he didn't look that bad on paper. Morton was a smaller guy than most in QB terms, wasn't he? Kind of a Flutie/Brees type. That's wild that him and Staubach switched every play! I was wondering how he had so many 'game played' numbers when Staubach was back from serving in the military... now I know!!
Here is a factoid I did not know until today. Morton and Staubach were both born on February 5th with Staubach being boirn in 1942 and Morton in 1943.
