Stabler loved to go to the tight end. Mike Barber had by far his best statistical year in 1980. 59 for 712 yards and 5 touchdown catches. Those were heavy stats back then. He was third in AFC in receiving yards for a tight end. Casper had 796 yards. Kellen Winslow blew everyone out of the water with 1290 yards. Henry Childs had over 800 yards in 1979 and 1980 for the Saints in the NFC.
I think Dan Ross of the Bengals had similar numbers to Barber. He caught 56 passes for about 724 yards. Ross was really good tight end in his own right.
He's actually Bill Belichick's favorite QB of all time and he's had Tom Brady. Bert Jones was the 70s version of John Elway. Unfortunately, he could not stay healthy and along with Bob Irsay bungling the franchise, Bert Jones's absences hurt the Colts.
He would have been talked about in the same breath as Dan Marino John elway and Jim Kelly if injuries wouldn't have cut him down... Can you imagine what he would have been able to do if he played in today's soft and watered down league with Tom Brady...
His name was MOJO Bill Lackey and he was the equipment guy for years. He passed in the middle of the 1996 season I believe and the team dedicated a game ball to his family.
Just looked up Sam Nover, who had posted up in Pittsburgh for his weekly work, and did some PBP in the USFL and as evidenced here, on NBC. Wild to see he was at Ferris State College at some point in the 60s, it appears, having also matriculated at the U of M and Eastern Michigan.
one of the worst in history...straight from the horses mouth that he had no clue how to coach and one of the worst feels for the game an unnamed player has ever seen.
@@ironbeatyfly If you had a list on football announcing duos ever , Where would you put NBC Number One duo and compare them to CBS All Time Number One duo ever Pat Summerall & John Madden.
