This may be the dumbest thing you've posted in this entire thread and you've had some doozies. Anybody that can stand in the pocket and deliver a pinpoint pass knowing that a 300# defensive lineman is bearing down on him has plenty of heart. Dumb is thinking that in today's NFL that any team, coach, teammate, or fan would want their most irreplaceable player out there throwing blocks. Your Bullet Bill character did all of these things because his team did not have anybody better to do them. As a kicker he hit 50% of his FG's which sucks. His longest was 42 yards and most years his best was in the thirties meaning they were FG's that would be nearly automatic for an average kicker and he's hitting only half of them. I'm sure if they didn't already have a kicker that there would be people on teams capable of kicking 50% of their field goals in his range if they were given opportunity. Just stop saying he's a better kicker than any of the other athletes mentioned just because they have never attempted one. Passing? Someone else went over that one and just how crappy his numbers were. You keep going on about how versatile he is then you list a bunch of things he's crappy at and trying to use them in favor for your argument. The guy was 180 lbs while Tom Brady is 225 lbs, what makes you think he couldn't learn blocking technique and do a better job of it than Bill Dudley. You can't just assume that because someone hasn't been asked to do something or even has been discouraged from doing something that he couldn't do it. The fact remains that the players of that era played both ways and did more things because the league wasn't as big then, there wasn't nearly the money involved then as there is now, and people did them out of necessity, not because they were more capable of it than modern players. You've even pointed out that many of our star players today dominated on both sides of the ball in high school and stood out as athletes at their school and that often applied to QB's as well. Were you aware that Brady was drafted by the Expos to play baseball as well? Must be some sort of a crappy athlete to be drafted in two pro sports. No versatility at all. Probably couldn't kick a field goal or throw a block. Yeah right.
