Steve Largent should be the CRITERION for being a HoF Wide Receiver… 1: EIGHT Season with 1,000 yards 2: EIGHT Hundred Receptions 3: EIGHTY Touchdowns (Though he had 100) 4: TEN Thousand Yards (Tough he had 13,000) Everything was much harder to achieve those benchmarks in his era… 🤔

Incorrectly put --- theres speed, then theres football speed. ... Sure. But then, theres a level BEYOND ABSOLUTELY NOBODY mentions --- and thats playmaker speed. It happens when you have the ball and in these elite players it awakens a Super Human Speed not ever recorded.

I remember a kid out of the state of Oregon who was often compared to Steve Largent: Mike Hass. After graduating from Portland's Jesuit High School as the first receiver ever to be named the state's Offensive Player of the Year at the highest enrollment classification and being the main reason why Jesuit won the state championship his senior year, no major university offered him a scholarship. The rap against him was that he was "too slow", yet like Largent, Hass ran precise routes, never dropped a pass, and had what many called "excellent game speed". He eventually walked on at Oregon State and became their best receiver, winning the Fred Biletnikoff Award as college football's top wide receiver his senior year. Even then, no NFL team would draft him. Once again, Hass was considered too slow. Try as hard as he could to make it to an NFL team, no team was ever willing to give him a chance. I don't know how Hass would have done had an NFL team given him the opportunity. Maybe he would have become successful like Steve Largent before him. I suppose we'll never know.

Here's some interesting game to analyze: There were four straight blow-out NFL Championship games in the mid 1950's: in 1954 The Brown crushed the Detroit Lions 56-10 despite being out-gained 303-331 because the Liosn turned the ball over 9 times. In 1955, The Browns smashed the Rams, 38-14. They did outgain the Rams 371-259 but the key was 7 Rams turnovers. n 1957 the Lions got revenge on the Browns, 59-14 thanks to out-gaining them 438-313 but also thanks to 7 Browns turnovers. But in 1956 the Giants beat the Bears 47-7. They only out-gained the bears 348-270. The Giants had 2 turnovers and the Bears 3. There were no kicks returned for a score although the Giants did score on a blocked punt. How did that game become 47-7?.

@@nflunveiled There's a You-Tube post with an edited version of that game. My theory is that it's like baseball, where it's not how many hits you have: can you bunch them together to produce runs? I think the Giants just strung their good plays together to finish drives while the Bears would get a first down or two but their drives would peter out.

A minor correction-- Sam Huff was not traded by the Giants to the Redskins "that offseason." He was traded in April 1964, two years before the 1966 season. It was part of an attempt by the Giants to trade away some of their older talented players in exchange for younger "talent." This was in the aftermath of their third consecutive NFL championship game loss in late December 1963. Their strategy failed miserably, and the Giants didn't return to play in a championship game for more than 20 years.

The Cleveland Browns won the 1964 title in part because they added ex-Giants Dock Modzelewski and Erich Barnes to their defense. Rosey Grier became part of the Rams' "Fearsome Foursome" and Sam Huff played several years for the Redskins. The Giant could have gone on winning for several more years had they kept them.

@@44032 The trade of Rosey Grier by the Giants to the Rams occurred a year earlier than the others. It was not part of the effort a year later to infuse the Giants roster with younger players. I read that Giants coaches were frustrated with Grier's occasional lack of effort (their perception), which prompted the trade to the Rams. Regardless, the Giants traded away talented players, who, like Grier, had several more good years in the league.

@@allegrobrio968 Well Mara and the coaching staff weren't happy with Grier. He also threatened to retire if he couldn't play on the west coast. It should've been a good trade for the Giants as they got a good and much younger DT, John LoVetere, but he got hurt. What talented players did they trade? Other than Barnes and Darrell Dess, the rest retired. Dess and Barnes were traded because they didn't have a QB to start the season.
