Back in the old football days, they didnt have the position of Offensive Coordinator, the Quarter called 90% of his own plays. Back In the old football days they didnt have the position of a Defensive Coordinator, the defensive captain watched any shifting in the offense and would change up according. Today the teams have created positions that amount to millions of dollars for what? A Quarterback that calls his own plays knows exactly where hes going with the ball and can break huddle quick and has the confidence of his own play, this automatically made him the team leader. Delay of game penalties were seldom a issue. Yes it occurred, but rarely. The head coach would be the one to change up a play if he thought best or saw something he didnt like. He kept a log on the sidelines for half time adjustments. Todays football are a bunch of high paid puppets on a string. Play calling will get changed two or three times before they break with a microphone in the helmet of the quarterback. Let the quarterback go back to calling the plays. I go back and reminisce the image of Tom Landry on the sideline Don Meredith, Roger Staubach, out on the field being the Field General they were hired to be. Troy Aikman was great no doubt, but Im sorry but he was still not a Roger Staubach, Terry Bradshaw, Don Meredith, Kenny Stabler, Johnny Unitas, Fran Tarkenton, Broadway Joe, Joe Montana. And we will never, ever again see a running back like Earl Campbell. He was a 100% devoted football player that punished any player on defense that got in his way. When he made a touchdown, he was just grateful to get in the end zone. Just my own opinion, Earl Campbell was in my opinion the greatest football player in history, that was forced to retire way to early because he was the only weapon that Houston had, and owner Bud Buttonhole is the one that ruined a great football player, and a great man. it wasnt Phillips. Im sure Button Bud said why spend the money when we have Earl? Today Earl is recovering from addition and confined to a wheelchair. Believe me, Im starting to hate this game, the game I used to love. We have punks playing the game today. Dog Fighting, Killers taking friends out and shooting them in the head. If I was Michael Irvings Attorney when he was busted in a hotel for Cocain, then busted again in his car, then he was hurt and had to leave the field and went to the locker room only to return to the sideline in a full length fur coat and fur hat to match, I would of told him to go back to the locker room and take that ridiculous looking crap off and put on sweats then come out. He was getting ready to be in front of a jury for his crimes. Table Tennis Anyone?
