I remember telling my dad that Griese was replacing John Elway, my dad was shocked. He said something like “I didn’t know Bob Griese was still playing.”
Bossdon83Drizzydre2733 Primetime7128 yeah I mean the only super great Belichick coordinator who became a coach looks like Brian Flores and he’s only coached for one year so who knows
@@12packersfan yes but member how did work in New York with the Jets 32 hours. It took him a while to be a winner but u look at his underlings they haven't done great as head coaches Romeo, Eric, Charlie Weis. But he maybe ready after Belichick leaves it worked for Pete Carroll
He didnt have Madden's personality or last name, so he rarely gets the credit. That said, this list wasn't about slighting him....it was about praising Madden and how hard it would've been for anyone to follow him. F Flores: 2 Madden: 1
I love these so much. Especially with the recording of the NFL news at the time. It’s like a time capsule that takes me back to watching these when I was 11 and 12. The nostalgias great and thank you for posting this🙌💯
I've noticed the same scroll at the bottom. The one person who deserves credit for all of these NFL Films being uploaded is @IssacGreen3273 How long do you think it took him to record these and then upload them? That's dedication, bro.
he bought a super bowl lmao he had core players from Walsh and then lost to Dallas twice before the niners ought every pro bowler of that year not to mention he didn't come close to a super bowl after 94 despite having a strong lineup
@Montana Roots Plunket was the #1 pick in the draft in 1971 and floundered in NE and SF and was riding the bench before 1980. That's called a bust. He was just serviceable to hang around so long. Don't get me wrong, I believe he should be in the hall of fame along with Flores as his numbers are on par with Namath and he has one more ring. But he is a draft bust.
@@Rockhound6165 Eli Manning can say that actually.

What the Dallas fans did to Danny White and Tony Romo was awful. Before Staubach, Don Meredith and Craig Morton didn't get Championships either. Staubach lost twice to Pittsburgh. After Troy Aikman, Dallas didn't even have winning records until Romo came. Dallas was extremely lucky that Bill Parcells found him. Now it's being done to Dak. What so bizarre about it is that it's those who don't even know what Spring drills are because they never had the guts to try out on any team sport to begin with. Most who have actually played at any level understands the discipline and commitment it takes to achieve success. What Dak has already been through in his young life already makes him a Champion. I hope he signs the one year, then out the door. Because no one person can do it alone.
Relax with Tony and Dak. Yes Tony got a lot of crap, some of it brought on by himself, but most of his critics are from Cowboy haters, not Cowboy fans. The only big criticisms I've seen of Dak so far has actually been from Romo fans who felt he(Romo) should've started when healthy in 2016 or from people criticizing him now saying he's asking for too big a contract.
Kind of interesting how Vince Lombardi, the greatest coach of yesteryear, had most of his assistants achieve very little success outside the big empire they shared together, and we're seeing the same pattern with Bill Belichick, the greatest coach of our time.
To Ashleigh Elizabeth: I am a bit older, so I got to see Roger in his prime, but, even during Roger’s best years, Danny was a savior. One thing you missed was Danny running a lot out of punt formation. Being a Quarterback, he not only could throw, but run, as well. No one was ever safe on fourth down defending Dallas back then. Danny also helped save several games that Roger couldn’t finish. His biggest might have been the comeback playoff win over the Falcons where we overcame a 17 deficit in the second half. Another thing you might not remember in the Catch game is that Danny nearly threw an 80 yard touchdown pass to Drew Pearson immediately after Dwight Clark’s catch. White hit Pearson in stride and he nearly split the db’s for a score. They barely got Drew to the ground, but it looked good for us. We had a first down on the 49er 45 or so with about 1:50 left. Alas, White was held up and stripped on the next play, and it was debatable whether the play was dead ( They had the Grasp and Control rule then). Anyway, had that been called, the play would have been dead and we’d have had a second down at the 50 with three timeouts. As we had Septien as a kicker, if that rule had been enforced, we were still in pretty good shape. That game was the middle of a run that no NFC Quarterback has ever equalled. Danny took the Cowboys to three straight NFC championship games. Only Brady and Jim Kelly have done that in the AFC. I say that to say this. I believe only Roger and Troy are better than Danny in Cowboy history, not Dandy Don, not Tony and not Dak. He is not only the most underrated Cowboy quarterback ever, but one of the most underrated in NFC history. He is certainly better than a two time Super Bowl winner like Eli Manning. If he had just won once, he would have gotten the recognition he deserved. I know we sure missed him when he was gone.
Could it also be said that the players around Staubach got older in the early 80’s? White was worse than Staubach at his best, but I’ve heard some argue that the team was aging too. Also, you mentioned Eli Manning. Could it also be said that White was better than Jim Plunkett?
Staubach was a legend before he played in NFL. Tough act to follow. Danny was great and would be more popular if today's social media existed. Also, his long passes were perfect.
Neal Anderson should've received more touches in the 1987 NFC Divisional Playoffs against the Redskins. He clearly had more speed, acceleration, and big play ability than Walter Payton at that point in his career. Ditka was catering to Walter probably trying to make-up for the backlash, he received in Super Bowl XX for Walter not scoring a TD against the Patriots.
Yeah, and that was well deserved. I like Ditka, but what are you thinking. Why give the Fridge the glory when Sweetness carried that franchise for so long.
@@craighenry2351 because the Patriots were selling out to stop him. Also Walter Payton was great , but his playoff stats were modest , especially when compared to other HOF running backs like Emmitt Smith, TD, Marcus Allen and Franco Harris!
I thought this episode was going to be about how terrible the shoes were filled. My first thought was Troy hambrick replacing Emmitt; he ran his mouth about how he just needed a chance so Parcells gave him that chance. After a terrible year Troy was cut and once again became Emmitts backup in Arizona.
The equivalent of Brett Farve, Aaron Rodgers, Phil Simms, and Jim McMahon. In music they're called One Hit Wonders. Meanwhile Montana, Aikman, Bradshaw, Brady has multiple.
@Fries Actually Steve has three rings He won SBXXIII & SBXXXIV ás San Francisco’s QB2 😆

Neal Anderson was the running back from Florida, that Emmitt Smith had to replace at Florida. Remember, there really wasn't any type of Combine to determine what to draft either. It was by reputation alone by the coaches of the schools. Walter Payton played at Jackson State, and a 4th pick in 1975. Only one other running back was selected in the 1st round. It's truly amazing how the NFL acquired the talent on teams in the way that it did. The lower level schools were rarely touched unless it was in desperation. Payton, Jerry Rice, from schools nobody knew about and haven't since.
The toughest act to follow OAT in any field was Jimi Hendrix at any venue. Which is why no one ever did. Who would ever want to match the original Afrofuturist? No one did.
Some tried, but not only was the man a musical genius, he used such Mickey Mouse equipment and some of his sounds still can’t be duplicated. He died 51 years ago, folks.
Jim Plunkett made one hell of a comeback in his stint as a Raider (1980 comeback player of the year his first NFL season with the silver & black- prior to 1979 he was a bust as he was new England’s number one draft selection out of Stanford in 1971) He was the most valuable player of Super bowl XV in replacing A superstar in Stabler
Once again, Plunkett was not a bust. He went to a bad team and got beat up and shell shocked. Once he got his head back on straight, got on a decent team and got a chance again, he won two Super Bowls in, what, three years? Also, Stabler was gutsy and a leader, but superstar, no. He barely threw more touchdowns than interceptions
Namath threw for 4000 yards in the late 1960’s. Except for Dan Fouts, I don’t think any other quarter back did that until the 90’s. Plus for much of his career his knees were mush. The treatment was much different back then, as well. It was inject them with cortisone and send them back out there. Because they had no MRI technology, they couldn’t tell how much damage they could be doing to a player by numbing him up. I read fro m a Namath biography that in the early 70’s he was getting both knees drained after every game. I think that impressed me with him even more when I read it.
The more important statistic comparing these two is completion percentage imo, and Todd was quite a bit more accurate--55% to Namath's 50.1% Namath did win more, though, so make of that what you will But I don't blame Todd a whole lot, he did really well considering the Jets weren't back in the playoffs until his 5th year and didn't post a winning record the entirety of the 70s
Ozamataz Buckshank no Brees has made himself part of New Orleans helping out in hurricane Katrina and now the Coronavirus. He will always be remembered
Barry Sanders is the greatest running back of all time. What he did on the football field in college and the pros was almost supernatural. Speed, grace, power and elusiveness was found all in one package about 5 feet 9 inches tall. This no knock on Jim Brown but if pressed I loves me some Barry Sanders.
people will debate.....there is usually 3 that ar argued against one another. jim brown is too old for me to truly judge......i started watching fb in 91 and so WP was still kinda fresh and would see him on throwbacks on one of the espon channel which gave me enough to judge him plus the internet later in time. barry was 100% better than WP. jim brown i dont know enough about football in the 60's
As usual, pretty good list. Danny White replacing Roger was good in that you mentioned.his three consecutive NFC championship games. I know he never got to the Super Bowl, but that accomplishment had not been done by anyone when he first did it. He was a good quarterback in Dallas, maybe good enough to be third right now on the Cowboys list (Yes Tony Romo set all kinds of records, but you have to win more than one playoff game). White even won a playoff game with a huge comeback coming in for Roger and trailing by double digits. One thing that people forget and that was not mentioned is that Danny was Dallas’s punter his entire career, while doing double duty from 1980 on. He also was a pretty fair arena league head coach, winning multiple championships. Jimmy Johnson was different than Tom Landry, who, although fading when he was axed, might have been the greatest defensive mind of all time. Remember, as an assistant with the Giants he invented the 4-3 defense. The majority of NFL teams STILL use it as their base defense. He came up with it in 1957. The big thing with Jimmy Johnson was his work at GM. He coached that team, and he built it as well. I think his lack of longevity kept him from being higher on this list. And he could have been the first to win four titles in a row but for a bogus pass interference no call for Deion Sanders against Michael Irvin. That would have also caused Steve Young not to win his Super Bowl ( although I do like Steve). Lastly, Leroy Kelly was as good of a replacement as you could expect for Jim Brown. Let us not forget, he didn’t have Paul Brown as his coach for most of his career. Anyway, I think Leroy growing up in such a gifted family may have helped him be ready for prime time. His brother was pro baseball player Pat Kelly and his sister was actress Paula Kelly.
There isn't an NFL player in history that I feel sympathy for more than Danny White. I am just young enough to have no conscious memory of watching Roger play live and in fact the first game I can ever remember watching is the loss to the 49ers. So for the next 5 years Danny White, Tony Dorsett and Coach Landry WERE the Dallas Cowboys for me. The back half of the 86 season through 1988 was some of the most painful football I've ever watched and in some ways even worse than the one win 89 season. I still pulled for Dallas through the Jimmy Johnson years and I was still a huge fan but it was never quite the same after Coach Landry and Danny left town.
@ashleighelizabeth5916 The way that Jerry Jones fired Tom Landry was so disrespectful. The only reason I watched Dallas at all was because of Walt Garrison. Walt was my hero as a kid. But I clung on, secretly rooting for the Cowboys after Walt Garrison had to leave football. You see, my dad was a diehard Baltimore Colts and Washington Redskins fan, so rooting for Dallas could have been nearly deadly for me, lol. Danny White was a darned good QB, but there was only one Roger Staubach.
The fact that Tom Flores is not in the hall of fame is criminal. Not only did the man lead the Raiders to 2 Super Bowl championships but he did so in 2 different cities and with Jim Plunkett as his QB.
I know this is from 2011, but how about Andrew Luck replacing Peyton Manning? Holy crap... who would've wanted to be blamed for The Sheriff getting traded away?!?
Not just a legend but the GOAT. doesn't matter what anybody's opinion of brady is, nobody is replacing him. It's gonna be rough as a Pats fan but it was bound to happen at some point.
Never use the word replace when referring to Tom's successor. The questions is, "who will play QB next season?". Hey, I'm a poor, long suffering Jets fan......we've been cursed ever since SBIII. I guess that was the price we had to pay for that win...and you know something.......for Jets fans my age or older, the price was well worth it. In my opinion that was the greatest upset of all time, and to make it even sweeter, a few of the Jets, including Coach Weeb Ewbank, had been cut/fired by the Colts in the early 60's!!
Joe Namath was an average QB at best. He lost more games than he won, threw more INTs than TDs, and completed only 50 percent of his passes. The most over hyped QB in history.
There was some good quality 2nd tear running back in that era. Neal Anderson, Rodney Hampton, Chris warren, Eric Metcalf, Ricky waters, Thurman Thomas, Edgar Bennett, Marcus Allen (maybe his touchdowns put him in the top tear) Leroy board, byner
Watching those old Dallas games I used to think it was a different 'White' that was the Cowboys Punter - it amazed me that he was actually the QB as well. There may have been others back then but he was pretty good at both jobs.
I actually think he might have been the last one. It was pressure, I’m sure, but it also made the fake punt a constant threat until later in his career.
Good one, or what about Maurkice Pouncey replacing Dawson. And what about Ray Mansfield before Webster. The Steelers have had quite a legacy of centers.
On this subject, I instantly think of Ray Perkins having to replace Paul "Bear" Bryant at Alabama. For all the success Alabama had under Bryant, for the sheer rabid nature of Tide fans, the university knew anyone they selected was a sacrificial lamb. And for Perkins to be as thick-skinned to handle the heat was amazing, regardless of the fact he has a nondescript coaching legacy.
Actually, as head coach of the New Jersey Giants from the late 70s-early 80s, Ray Perkins guided Big Blue to a playoff victory over the Eagles in 1981...their first since 1956...
Yeah, it truly took a long time to get someone who was close to Bear’s equal, but I think Nick Saban might be real close if not there. What about his eventual successor? Those will be huge shoes to fill as well.
Steve Young had a tough act to follow in replacing the greatest Quarterback to ever play pro football in Joe Cool 😎 The fact that Steve had 6 passer rating titles 2 league MVP awards multiple NFC west titles as well as 4 NFC championship game appearances (1992,1993,1994,1997) led the 1994 49ers to SBXXIX and he was the most valuable player of Super Bowl XXIX in his team’s victory with 6 touchdown passes against San Diego; he had the highest passer rating in NFL history by his retirement in 2000. Boy that’s something!
He should not have had the Super Bowl title. You know the pass interference no call for Deion on Irvin cost Dallas that game. Still I like Steve and think he was a great replacement. Plus he was a part of the greatest quarterback draft class (my senior class) in history. Elway, Marino, Davis, Blackledge,Eason, Kelly, Esiason and Young. Not too bad.
Sorry if you missed it A guy said replacing Joe Montana would be like replacing Jimmy Hendrix. That’s why I posted what I did about Jimmy Hendrix below.
Man, I remember that summer of 2008, when the Packers were moving forward with Aaron Rodgers and there were Favre worshippers who wanted Aaron to have thrown 0 touchdowns and 50 interceptions during the season, just to prove the Packers made a huge mistake in letting Brett go. It honestly turned Packers fans against one another, something I'd never seen before. There are still those that try to nit-pick everything about Aaron and compare him to Brett every chance they can. Fortunately, most of it died away when the Packers took SB 45, but boy was Aaron under a microscope by Packers fans for those first 3 seasons he was the QB for Green Bay.
Brett was a physical marvel and an all-around tough guy a lot like his Louisiana predecessor, Terry Bradshaw. Aaron Rodgers is a better all-around quarterback because the man just does not throw interceptions, allowing him to produce similar, if not better results.
Brett’s last pass as a Packer was as illogical as any pass thrown by a rookie. That reminds me; Brett’s last pass as a Viking was as illogical as any pass thrown by a rookie.
19:10 Wow, I never would've imagined there was a Patrick Mahomes-type quarterback in 1961. Always interesting to see guys in the past who were ahead of the curve.
Good but not on the level of Art Monk (Consecutive games with a catch alltime leader) replacing Charlie Taylor (Alltime receptions leader at the time of his retirement).
I live in Texas, Houston specifically and I swear I never hear our southern accent until it's on TV or something like this. Idk why it sounds so normal in person
If your talking about the 1960 Championship Eagles... Norm VanBrocklin planned his retirement after the 1960 season which was the Eagles Championship season.
Yeah, I get it, but they had a lot of money invested in Carson Wentz. Unfortunately, that has a big effect on personnel decisions. By the way, with both Wentz and Goff being traded in lieu of better options, I guess everyone knows now, that, despite his draft position, Dak Prescott is the best quarterback from the 2016 draft.
1:38 In Richard Todd We Rust (Not Trust), sorry Joe. 6:28 Tom Flores Just picks up John Madden's Winning slack, Baby! 9:37 Neal Anderson's piece of Walter's running Sweetness backs cake. 13:49 Danny White's America's Tease, face it Roger. 17:24 Sonny Jurgenson flies the Eagles, fly on Norm's road to victory. 21:43 Coach Jimmy Johnson, and the Herschel Walker trade. 25:56 Jim Brown's Kardiac disciple, Leroy Kelly. 29:59 Bill Cowher picks up Chuck Noll's Steel Curtain slack. 34:33 Brett Favre's disciple, Aaron Rodgers. 39:38 Steve Young wins Super Bowl XXIX after the Joe Montana deal.
Bob W nah if Michael Vick didn’t get involved with stupid shit Matt Ryan woulda been drafted somewhere and the falcons would draft a qb or get a veteran in free agency 5 years down the road
@@handleyobusiness Michael Vick never won anything and 0 superbowl appearances and not even a hall of famer so he wasn't that hard to replace for Matt Ryan lol
I'm just hoping this gets to most of you before tomorrow (and not a few days afterwards. Thanks, RU-vid). It's time for another batch of nominees for Lolcow of the Week. This week's nominees: - The officials for Purdue/Minnesota (heinous pass interference call that cost Purdue a game-winning TD) - Denver Broncos (for having no idea how to properly finish off a game they're winning) - Cincinnati Bengals (for potentially ruining the career of Joe Burrow) - Green Bay Packers fans (for death threats against MVS) Make your selection now!
Whoever follows Tom Brady, whether that be Jarrett Stidham or anyone the Patriots might pick up in free agency, is going to be number one now. There's no harder job than following up arguably the greatest player in NFL history.
Number 1 Tom Brady is not the greatest player in NFL history and Number 2 Tom Brady's successor will have to perform well if he's going to make this list.
Tom Flores Won SBXV with the 1980 Oakland Raiders Won SBXVIII with the 1983 Los Angeles Raiders 1st ever Hispanic American NFL coach ever inducted into the pro football hall of fame Raiders coach 1979-1987 2-0 in the super bowl
I think Young probably did the best in terms of how DIFFICULT the act to follow was, but I think Aaron Rodgers (with obviously the benefit of time this show didn't have) probably will be regarded as the better act compared to Steve Young, especially if Rodgers win the SB this year.
I see what you're saying about Rodgers' success compared to Young's after following the legend, but to me when I hear 'Toughest Acts to Follow', the emphasis is on the original act themselves first, and in that regard, Joe Montana is a tougher act to follow than Brett Favre. As I said, I think you're right that ultimately Rodgers is regarded as having the better career than Young, but he wasn't following what many still consider to be the greatest QB of all-time. I think the list got it right with the top 2 for that reason
A fact that may win you a bar bet in regards to Jimmy Hendrix and it’s going to sound like it has no chance of being true but is. Jimmy Hendrix in his first professional job the act was called Joey Dee and the Starlighters in that band at the same time was actor Joe Pesci.
Aaron should listen to his own words. But then he didn’t say anything, the media did !! This list is from 2011. Aaaa I think it’s time to redo this list. 9 seasons passed.
And now you’ve got to feel for whoever has the task of replacing Bill Belichick, now that he’s moving on from New England Jerod Mayo, best of luck to you sir
It's gonna be tough for the poor SOB who replaces Russell Wilson. I mean let's face it, there've only been two teams that had back-to-back franchise HOF starters in the last 50 years, the Forty-Whiners [Montana /Young] and the Packers [Favre /Rodgers]. Dudes like that don't grow on trees and more reputations are ruined every single year trying to find that guy.
Yes, no one is mentioning him yet, but that is coming within five years. I hate but respect him. Russell is a winner. Still, during his one year in the Big Ten, Braxton Miller to Devin Smith hung a loss on him. It was a bright spot in an otherwise disastrous season.
@@craighenry2351 Well, he went out tonight with a jammed finger -- hopefully not broken. You can take some solace in that 😁 And for whatever faults Russell Wilson may have [and there ain't many, that's for sure] at the very minimum he ISN'T Scam Newton.
@@NeverSober8008 Well, if he gets one more SB, he probably will be. I really don't understand why so many are griefing on Wilson. He's a leader in the locker room and on the field. He's a professional's professional. He takes responsibility for losses and spreads the credit for wins around. He doesn't jammed up off the field stupidity [DUIs, domestic violence, etc.]. Yes, he and Carroll didn't get along well, but that was apparent from his third year with the team... and he STILL put in work to keep Carroll, Seahawks management, and the 12s happy.
ANYONE replacing Stabler and Plunkett in the Raiders.... How many on that team, and how awful they have been (also put the right side of the offensive line) for the Raiders?
Sonny loves to party...how many DUI's did he collect in D.C. (I lived four blocks away from him)? I do know his television contract(s) included car service to the stadium for broadcasts (since his license was suspended for at LEAST ONE YEAR). Legend in the neighborhood was that if you saw Sonny in his car after 4pm just get inside the house!
Joe Namath on this list? Really? I get that his high public profile was irreplaceable. But how could it be tough to follow the most overrated QB in league history on the field? Let us see how things stood in 1977 when Namath's career went to the Rams to die? His QB rating was 39.9 in the previous season (1976). He had a 1090 yards passing, with 4 TDs (!) and 16 INTs. He had not been in the playoffs since the 1969 season, and he had not won a playoff game since the legendary win in SBIII. (Few remember that the guy played only 3 playoff games in his career.) To say that it was time to move on would be a gross understatement. The Jets were years late with getting rid of him. The 1970s was really not his decade. Granted, Richard Todd was not a great QB but his career numbers actually hold up pretty well against Namath. His career QB rating is slightly higher, and he actually won just as many playoff games. With Namath, we can really see how far the hype machine known as NFL media can propel someone on the back of a single ring and a big mouth. This video is exhibit A.
@Harry Engel Largely true. But I am not so sure that his career figures hold up all that well against his contemporaries. Even if you look at notable career QB performances before the Blount rule, pretty much every famous QB comfortably beats Namath's stats: Unitas, Starr, Tarkenton, Staubach, Bradshaw. Hell, he is beaten even by the star QBs of the 50s like Otto Graham and YA Tittle. Also, towards the end of his run with the Jets, Namath's performance was veering into the pathetic. And that is the key to the issue of succession. What I would grant is that Namath was more talented than his career figures suggest. In fact, the NFL never saw him at his full potential. When he became a college star in Alabama, he was a mobile QB with deadly arm. But a serious leg injury compromised his mobility even before he was drafted. In the NFL, however, he never really developed a playing style more fitting for his given skill set. And that became painfully clear in the 70s.
@Harry Engel Yes, I can go with that assessment. He did have his moments, and some of them were really big ones. That still leaves him overrated. Funnily, his performance in SBIII does not blow me away. When I watched the full game a year ago or so, he did not stand out to me. What stood out was how confused and self-destructive the Colts offence was.
If Namath had retired following 1974 he may have been seen as Gayle Sayers career was. From 1972 to 1977 it was similiar to watching Mickey Mantle from 1966 to 68.
Bill Cower did NOT 'win' a Super Bowl..He had a Super Bowl handed to him by the Zebras because the NFL loved the idea of Jerome Bettis Winning a Super Bowl in his home town in his final game.
Moines going to repeat 4 Superbowls in 6 years. Tom Brady saw this, & added it to his "challenge accepted" list. 4 Superbowls from Feb 2015-feb 2021 (6 years)
Tom Flores replacing John Madden at number 9 is an atrocity. That’s easily a top 5 toughest act to follow. No disrespect to the other entries but damn.
