It's weird to think that Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Ray Lewis, Reggie White, Deion Sanders, Ronnie Lott, all never won an MVP because of their position, but Mark Moseley won an MVP at kicker.
@@nicholasadams2374 The MVP wasn’t deserved or anything. But that said, Moseley in 82 is probably the most impactful season of play by a kicker towards winning that there is.
In my opinion, it should be impossible for the offensive player of the year to also be MVP, or a quarterback, so that way we could have a way to give an individual accolade for non quarterbacks in modern times.
Honorable mention: 1982's strike shortened season only had nine games, but the Chargers' Wes Chandler managed to surpass 1,000 yards (1,032) and average 129 yards per game which is still an NFL record.
@@MRB16th Yes, but Dickerson's record would still stand because that was for rushing, not receiving. Now that the NFL has gone to 17 games all single season records are in jeopardy.
@@timothywayne3813 OK, that was my mistake: I may have been a bit carried away over the 129 yards per game. Still, it is true that single-season records are in jeopardy.
You're right these videos are awesome to watch but I haven't changed my lifestyle at all. I am still going to work. No I'm not an essential worker, I'm a painter and the job site isn't shutting down, thank God. I feel bad for all the workers out there who aren't working.
Just become a politician..that apparently exempts you from your own rules..no matter how draconian. Mostly Democrats, but not exclusively. Just ask that small d#%k, wannabe dictator-Cuomo in NYC. 2nd highest death rate of anywhere on earth,& caught violating his own rules..yet celebrated by media sycophants, including his own brother. All us regular rubes, have to live by their rules-some reasonable, but many ridiculous, but the elites get different rules. Just like Santa Clara county where the 49ers,& Stanford-have to move out of the state. Despite the NFL's top doctor saying there hasn't been 1 case on earth, of someone contracting COVID, on the athletic field-indoor, or outdoor. And of all these athletes whove tested positive, has 1 of them been hospitalized..let alone died? Not that I know of.The rest of us have to stay home (understandable to a point),& watch top 10 lists, but the politicians get to do whatever the f#&k they want, flagrantly violate their own dictates,& increase their power/feed their ego..using COVID as an excuse. And Im not a COVID denier..it is real. I support wearing masks, social distancing, ect. I have 2 elderly uncles, who died from COVID. (1directly, 1 indirect) But no doubt, some of these scumbag, wannabe dictator politicians are using this shit as an excuse to increase their power, take our rights,& punish their critics.
Looks like some new additions might have to be made soon, Paytons 55 TD season, Lamar Jacksons 3000/1000 season, the most recent 1000/1000 club member McCaffery, and Calvin Johnson’s 1900 yard season. Edit: I think we add Cooper Kupp's 2022 season if for nothing else than he had 1900 yards on SEVENTY-FIVE% catch percentage. You could also add 2021 Aaron Rodgers with 48 TD's with only 5 INT's which is super impressive.
@Fries I don't always agree with you, but damn, that would have been the best team ever. Including everybody. I was a kid in Atlanta in 1977. The defense was just ungodly. Part of it resulted from the rules at the time - LA and Washington both also had outstanding scoring defenses - but Glanville figured out that you could short-circuit the passing game by ensuring the passer couldn't throw. It was effective, and fun as hell to watch once we got used to it. Atlanta beat the Rams 16-7 on Opening Day in the quietest stadium you ever saw - because the Atlanta fans were stunned into silence by what they were seeing: the Rams were being absolutely manhandled.
@Harry Engel in my opinion the buccaneers 26 game losing streak is the most unbreakable for several reasons. 1. Nobody wants to break it. 2. You probably can’t assemble a team that would lose 26 straight games even if you tried. 3. The second worst streak is 19 straight games by several teams, so nobody has really come close
In the current era of spread offenses and short passing Dick Lane's record will never be broken. Lester Hayes had 13 with 4 more called back due to penalties. In the playoffs he had 5 more. Lester actually had 22 interceptions in 1980
Also, teams would give up throwing to that side as soon as a CB reaches 7 INTs. I'm sure guys like Revis and Woodson would reach double digit INTs if QBs threw to their side more often.
@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 He played in the 80s........OJ played in the 70s 😂 2000 yds in the 70s is different than 2000 yds in the 80s......and 14 games!!! 140 something yrs per game!!! Over 6 yds per carry!!! Add 1 or 2 games to that season and OJ has 2200+ yds.....in the 70s 👀 He was immortal that year!!! ED season was amazing (any 2000 yd was amazing especially ED), but OJ's 2000 yd season was special and he was the first to do it 🤣
When Largent broke his TD record it was like wow. That record felt untouchable. And he could've put it out of reach for awhile longer had the Pack wanted to pay him. Putting him next to his eras contemporaries statistics wise is insane. Putting what he did into context in any era seems absurd. When he left, the Packers wandered as an organization.
@@Gungho73 Not only that, but he also held the records for receptions and receiving yards when he retired, and held them until the next great Packer receiver, Billy Howton passed them in 1962 (possibly their best player in the 50’s).
@@fortynights1513 Didn't know that about Howton actually! Yeah the general public doesn't understand how absurdly far beyond Hutson was to everyone in the league in that point. The Packers didn't want to pay him and granted he was getting later in his career but you could feel the shift the second that decision was made. Few decisions in history can be immediately linked to a franchises decline like that one was.
@@Gungho73 Billy Howton on a side note, in spite of retiring with the most receptions and receiving yards in 1963 (though both were quickly passed by Raymond Berry) is not in Canton. Howton played with Babe Parilli who had a good career, and a rookie Bart Starr as his best quarterbacks. It seems counterintuitive now, but given that many schemes were smashmouth based through the 1980’s, quarterbacks who threw a lot of passes and for a lot of yards, and receivers who caught a lot of yardage worth of passes were called unimpactful if they got those numbers and their teams didn’t perform, because voters argued that they only had the numbers they did because the game wasn’t well managed and their teams were losing. Given that we call quarterbacks game managers, it may hold some water in their analysis, but it doesn’t mean the receivers weren’t doing their jobs well, even if in losing efforts. Howton and the 70’s Ram receiver Harold Jackson (who similarly retired second all time in receiving yards in 1983) both ultimately have the most receiving yards in their respective decades, and neither made the all decade team of the 50’s or 70’s, or Canton because of this perception by voters at the time. Ultimately those are the only two receivers in the top 15 of career receiving yards through 1985 that aren't in Canton, and in my opinion both have been overlooked and snubbed.
@@naturalcreature6317Another guy who deserves mention (though not as much as those two) is arguably Tom Landry. 4-3 defense and shotgun formation in particular.
Sammy Baugh? Where is he? Led the league in touchdown passes, punting, and interceptions in THE SAME YEAR. He was Tom Brady, Ray Guy, and Night Train in one person in ONE SEASON.
Dickerson should be #1. It still stands. Oj did 2000 first, then Dickerson which was in 84 or 85 and is still the record. Barry got close, Jamal Lewis got closer. Td and cj2k both got over 2 grand. AD (adrian Peterson) was 9 yards short but its 2020 and still stands. Marino in 84 it stands for 20 years. Then Manning. It stands for 3 years. Brady in 07. Then in 13 manning shatters it. In 2011 there were 5 or 6 QBs who got past some of the Marino numbers. Dickerson still has the rookie rushing record and the next season he has the single season all time rushing mark. In the words of Deontay Wilder...To this Day.
@@johnbrowntheprophet That's not how records work Mitch. You don't get to go back in time and say a player "would" have done something, therefore they are better. By that logic, there's guys who played when the season was 12 games (Jim Brown) that would have had the record.
2:05 Mark Moseley becomes the first-ever placekicker to win regular season MVP. 6:55 The 1977 Atlanta Falcons Gritz Blitz Defense! 10:19 Devin Hester's 2007 kick returning record breaking performance. 15:45 Roger Craig's 1985 record breaking 1,000 yard performance (both in rushing, and in recieving). 18:35 The rise of the Kansas Comet, Gale Sayers! 23:20 Marvin Harrison's 143 2002 NFL regular season catches! 25:46 Night Train Lane's 14 1952 interceptions! 30:10 Don Hutson's 1942 Season. 34:35 Eric Dickerson surpasses O.J. the Juice in rushing yards. 39:15 Tom Brady and the 2007 16-0 New England Patriots.
What Eric Dickerson did to my favorite team, in the playoffs, I hated his guts at the time because I was just a kid. But now I have a greater appreciation for him and these all time greats.
Marino with 48 TDs in 1984 was the best season I ever saw because no one else was even close. He threw for 5000 yards and destroyed the NFL record for yards and TDs. The previous record for TDs was 37!
Yah but the difference is that Brady beat Manning in the 2007 season, went undefeated & made the superbowl close. Manning lost to Brady in the 2013 season & got destroyed in the Superbowl.
Dude you are amazing for all these NFL Top 10 uploads. Seriously, it’s been stressful with everything going on in the World and these videos are the only thing that helps me get some sleep. Whenever it’s time to go to bed I just go to your channel (I’m subscribed of course), see what new uploads you have and slowly fall asleep. If there was a Top 10 RU-vidrs you would be #1. Haha...
33 Roger CRAiG has got to be the most underrated & forgotten RB there is anymore. I remember he was HUGE back in 88-90 he was considered the best RB in the Game or @ least top 3. His name rang out back then and I was really little. Only sports names that made it through to a kid so young I didn’t even watch anything but cartoons still but yet somehow I knew ROGER CRAiG & Jose Canseco and I don’t even live in NoCal.
It's mainly because the Rushing Yard Total was the main stat. He was 13th in the League in Rushing Yards. He had 1050 Rushing Yards. Marcus Allen led the League with 1759...but all purpose yards you say! Marcus Allen had an addition 67 receptions for 555 yards giving him more all purpose yards. Roger Craig played played during an Era with people like Walter Payton, Marcus Allen, Tony Dorsett. He was good at everything but great at nothing. Very useful for the team he played on.
Dan Marino Miami Dolphins 🐬 Quarterback 1984/85 NFL MVP 5,084 passing yards and 48 touchdown passes in his second season as a Dolphin 🐬 It took until thirty years for Brees to break Marino’s passing record & Manning to break Marino’s touchdown record
2004: Man, look at Peyton Manning GO. He and Marvin Harrison are absolutely spellbinding. We may never see another quarterbacking performance like that in our lifetimes. 2007: Swap in Tom Brady and Randy Moss, and I agree. 2011: *allow me to introduce myself*
"If they extend the season from 16 games to 18 games. That is the only way it can be broken" -reference to Brady's 50 touchdown passes -few years and surgery/team change later Manning- "Hold my 55 touchdowns" But being serious the performances are iconic (and I know this was filmed before Manning's 55)but besides beating Brady's by 5 Manning did that at the end of his career not during his prime with arguably a less talented team around him (no Marvin Harrison or James at RB/not saying the cast he had was bad though). Add that a couple years before that having surgery and missing a season with reports of his arm being "a noodle" than throwing 5 MORE than the record is amazing. The crazy thing is I don't think that record is safe cause Mahomes tied Brady in his 1st starting season.
It was a ludicrous statement to say as Marino had 48 and Brady got 50 ..to think someone couldn't come along to get one more in a 16 game season was laughable...of course it's all moot now
There's no way Brady's season was better than Marino's. Marino broke the record by 12 touchdowns, he got the second most with 44 in 1986, and it wasn't until 1995 that another player threw more than the old record of 36. Putting Brady above Marino in 1984 is ridiculous.
25:48 Night Train Lane 🚂 HOF Cornerback Intercepted 14 passes in a 12 game season as an undrafted rookie cornerback for the 1952 Los Angeles Rams 🐏 Pioneered the “bait and switch” “I always played from the outside in” -Dick lane Intercepted 68 passes in his career with the Saint Louis Cardinals Los Angeles Rams 🐏 & Detroit Lions 🦁 in the 1950s & early 1960s 75th anniversary team (1995) -80% of his tackling techniques are a penalty, an ejection and/or a fine in today’s game 😉
Who the fuck is Brian Baldinger saying Hester wasn’t known to have great speed on the scouting report. The man was always been notorious for how fast he was, even in college
Lawrence Taylor Giants OLB 1986/87 NFL MVP & 1986/87 NFL DPOY 20 sacks in 16 games Only linebacker in league history ever named MVP & DPOY in the same season
Yeah this is the older episode. They've since updated it and replaced Tom Brady in 2007 with Peyton Manning in 2013 as #1, but now they have to replace Marvin Harrison in 2003 with Michael Thomas in 2019. Still do appreciate the uploads though.
Marvin's season is still better in my opinion. It seemed like Thomas was pretty much the only guy that Brees and Bridgewater targeted last season, whereareas Harrison wasn't the only guy targeted since the Colts also had Wayne, Stokley, and Pollard
Marino holds the record till manning breaks in the 2000's then Brady breaks it in 07 then manning breaks it again in 13. Marino over Mosley's. Manning's 2013 should replace his other entry.
@Harry Engel IDK how Reggie and Walter aren't on here already bro, it's crazy LOL but I think Mahomes will be on herd for a couple of reasons, even though it isn't the record breaker: 1. He's the only other player to have that season besides Manning in 2013 - 50+ TDs and 5k+ yards 2. He DOES have the record currently for most TDs at this point in their careers, beating even Marino. That's amazing 3. It was his FIRST starting season! LOL it's ridiculous that he was THAT good THAT early. It took Manning 15 years of playing to get that season. Mahomes did it his first time out 🤷🏾♂️ that's unfathomable
@Harry Engel Oh yeah I think so too, absolutely 💯 honestly I have no clue what the criteria is for these lists. How in the HELL is Reggie and Walter not on here?? Reggie only played 11 games! 🤣 it's crazy man
Compared to the beating Johnny Unitas and Bart Star had to put with. Imagine the stats they would have playing 17 games, with pass heavy offenses, and rules that keep QB's from taking a pounding and having longer careers.
Roger Craig was essentially the Marshall Faulk of the mid 1980s Three players in league history were able to eclipsed 1K reception yards and 1K rushing yards in a season Roger Craig, Marshall Faulk & Christian Mccaffrey
I feel they should have acknowledged Chuck Foreman in there. In 1973, he caught over 70 passes had just under 700 yards while rushing for over 1000 yards, and 22 total touchdowns. Heading into the final game he was leading the league in receptions, rushing yards and touchdowns. He may not have been the duel threats that Clark and Faulk were but he deserves to be in the conversation.
Gale Sayers was really a phenomenal icon in the history of the NFL he's a real true phenom 1965 he had 6 touchdowns in one game versus 49ers but 22 touchdowns as a Rookie that's making a big impact and making a statement R.I.P to the one and only legendary Gale Sayers
Barry Sanders 1997. Three 80 yard touchdowns (2 in one game), ran for 2,053 yards which 53 were from the first 2 games and then exactly 2,000 in the last 14 games, 6.1 yards per carry, 11 rushing touchdowns, 3 receiving touchdowns, and wearing that beautiful Honolulu Blue jersey
Thank you!! Not enough people talking about Barry! Greatest RB to ever play, no question. I tell people, "he's your favorite running back's favorite running back." Lol
Certainly an amazing season on Barry’s part. I’d also throw in Walter Payton in 1977 who led the league in rushing yards, yards per carry, yards from scrimmage, and rushing touchdowns, and won an MVP. For as mid as Barry Sander’s offensive lines were, in 1997 he had a pro bowl center at least, and his team’s top receiver was also an all pro unlike Payton’s. Payton in 1977 had no player on his offense other than himself get any individual recognition that year, and in fact none of his teammates would ever win an individual accolade in their career.
Marino should be on the list for how long it stood. Mosley's should be nowhere close 1) he is a kicker 2) it's a short season. Barry matched OJ for 2000 yards in 14 games...in a row. Barry had 53 yards the first 2 games. Marino 100 percent deserves it. Barry 2000 is 2nd. Mosley's should not even be a honorable mention
#1. Gayle Sayers................#2. Eric Dickerson...............#3. Barry Sanders....................#4. Whomever you want.................Greatest Running Backs in NFL History.
Just started. But night train lane 14 picks in 12 games as a rookie better be on here. He was left off the best rookie seasons so I’m gonna he salty if he ain’t here either
Marshal Faulk got 2000 rushing and receiving yards 4 seasons in a row, this is the one hit wonder list, so I'd disqualify him too. Though Faulk got 2428yds compared to Craig's 2026yds.
This episode couldn't have aired I'm 2007. The ticker at the bottom mentions Tim Tebow starting for the Broncos so this must have been aired originally in like 2010 or 2011.
He's not a QB. If you are an above average but not necessarily elite QB like Eli Manning or Ben Roethlisberger it is a given that you should go in. Craig one of the best duel threat running backs of all time, no.
The reason it's not done anymore is because soccer style kicking is factually better from a mechanical standpoint. But yeah, the single bar should be back, give back the kickers some of their personality lol
The NFL ruined a huge aspect of the game when they moved the kickoff up and made it a guaranteed touchback. A big hit draws a flag regardless if it was within the rules or not.
Sammy Baugh in 1943 led the NFL in most passing yards and completions, most defensive interceptions, as well as highest punting average ( 45.1 yards avg. ). Nobody will ever do that again.
This aired originally 14 yrs ago & the experts were saying Brady was maybe the best ever or second to Joe M. Since then all he has done is win 4 more Super Bowls, 2 more mvp’s, and 3 more Super Bowl mvp’s. Mind boggling.
Yeah then the Falcons allowed 290 points the next season and the Bears set the NFL points against record in 86.. but this is single season performances. But still 85 Bears, 10 points allowed in the playoffs. I'm curious how many points the Falcons would have allowed against the Cowboys, Steelers etc. Doubt it would be 10 points allowed during the entire post season.. though their offense was awful which never helps your defense.
Considering the '77 Falcons got the benefit of the last year you could mug receivers all the way down the field plus the fact the '85 Bears won the Super Bowl with an overwhelming post season the Bears are definitely the more impressive of the two.
@@ckobo84 The Bears had the advantage of a good offense that kept the defense off the field. No comparison -- Falcons defense had the more impressive accomplishment.
I think that Eric Dickerson's 2105 rushing yards in 1984 can be broken. Adrian Peterson was 9 yards from breaking it the season he rushed for 2000 yards so it's possible.
Ya definitely. Though, the league and defenses have changed so much, making it much harder. OJ ran for 2000 yds. when there was only 14 games, then for the next 32 years with 16 games, only 6 players broke 2000. Now we have 17 games! Lol
@@nicholasadams2374 You do have to admit that teams tend to not have one player rush the ball as much as they used to. 17 games, but chances are that most running backs are playing in tandem.
@@sludge8506 - Ummmmmm yeah, it does. If you take O.J.’s per game average of 143.1 rushing yards per game and pro rate it over a 16-game season, he would have amassed 2,289 rushing yards that season effectively *SMASHING* the single season record. But nice try there, little buddy. 🤷🏻♂️🙄🤦🏻♂️
brown john the self proclaimed prophet puts forth a hypothetical situation and determines that to be a fact. 🤦🏻♂️ But, wait a second. Jim Brown gained over 1800 yards in a 14 game season. That projects to over 2100 yards in a 16 game season. Tiny minds wanted to play that infantile game back in 1961. Nope, two record books was rejected. Steve Bono scored a touchdown on a 76 yard run, and he wasn’t touched by an opponent. Maybe he’s the greatest rusher in history, milksop.
@@johnbrowntheprophet One of your fellow fan boys claimed OJ’s season was greater because he had to play in cold weather and snow. I researched it. OJ played in zero snow games, and the lowest temperature he played in was 30 degrees. Fan boys… 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@sludge8506 - O.J. Simpson: 2,003 rushing yards in 14 games = 143.1 rushing yards per game Jim Brown: 1,863 rushing yards in 14 games = 133.1 rushing yards per game O.J. Simpson’s rushing yards in 14 games > Jim Brown’s rushing yards in 14 games.
I don’t wanna be a dweeb but where is LT’s 86 MVP season? We have a kicker but not the defensive GOAT? Ya ok. Plus where is Steve Young in 94? Warner in 1999? Montana in 89? Hell, where is Jim Brown or Walter Payton? They had plenty of epic seasons.
Barry Sanders in '97 1st 2 games of the season 51 total Rus Yds Finished with 2056 thats 2005 Yds in 14 Games better then OJ's 2003 Yds in 14 Gms or Terrell Davis' in '98 had 2008 Yds Despite sitting about 4 games worth by not playing in the 4th Qtr of almost every Game He could have had about 2500 Yds and about 30 TD's that year + Had another 500 Yds in 3 Playoff Gms (Frigging Unstoppable)
