RIP Bill Fralic.

@Matt Joseph Quite a few players died from the Falcons and Braves from cancer. The blame was Atlanta Fulton Co. stadium.

Agree. At this point the fan & media speculation over QBs is insane but media missed on Mahomes. The 70s Steelers, 80s 49ers, 90s Cowboys & the Patriots built their dynasties ignoring media arrogant media demands (although it might have contributed to Steelers Noll missing on Marino).

[@gluserty]

Looking back, 1984-1988 was a pretty dry period for QB's (Paul Zimmerman wrote an "APB for QB's" article for the Sports Illustrated 1988 NFL Season Preview).

[@gluserty]

@@r.williamcomm7693 There were unfounded whispers about Marino having a drug problem at the time. Marino did say it was good for him to get out of Pittsburgh, but there's no doubt the Steelers should've drafted him.

Remember kids, if Buddy Ryan gives his opinion on something that requires thought, do the opposite of his opinion.

[@zachmiller3610]

Well in fairness, Perry was not worth the first in terms of his ability as a defensive lineman. He was serviceable, maybe good at times, but was never truly worth that draft position

[@bryancoats5328]

How many other picks did they have in that draft though, and where were they in the pecking order?

[@KWCline91]

@@bryancoats5328 they had eight picks after Perry. 2nd (49), 3rd (78), 4th (105), 7th (190), 8th (217), 9th (250), 10th (273), 11th (302). Except for their 4th round pick (Kevin Butler, K), none of the other Bears picks that year were much of contributors.

Bill Fralic made another WWF appearance in 1993 when he (now as a Detroit Lion), several other athletes, and a few WWF wrestlers all tried but failed to bodyslam then-champion Yokozuna on board the USS Intrepid on the Fourth of July.

[@JaguarGator8]

Fun fact- in round 4 of the 1985 NFL Draft, the Vikings drafted a wide receiver named Buster Rhymes Pretty solid kick returner for a few years, too

[@StFidjnr]

[@bertmustin]

Better fact. Andre Reed was the next pick in the draft.

[@davidcobb2693]

Buster Rhymes had ONE season of "solid " kick returning, in 1985 he led the league in number of kicks returned and kick return yards but he did not lead the league in average yards per kick return, he played in 5 games in 1986 and he had 9 kick returns. He played in 20 games during his 2 year NFL career and he caught a total of 8 passes for 149 yards and 0 TD's. He was as solid as the contents of a balloon.

@ 02:20 'The Owner traded Elway away' - Accorsi makes it sound like only an idiot would do that. Elway said he would play Baseball (for the Yankees) rather than play for Baltimore so they had no choice except to trade him.

[@philthornton1382]

Well, they could’ve got a better haul from Oakland than Denver offered.... but y’know Rozelle being the shitbag he was wouldn’t allow that

[@Tyrunner0097]

@@philthornton1382 Rozelle killed the proposed 3-way trade between the Colts, Raiders, and Bears, which would've brought Elway to the Raiders, absolutely. He was pissed at the lawsuit Al Davis was putting on the NFL, and you have to remember, the Raiders had gotten Marcus Allen in 1982. Imagine, Elway and Marcus in the same backfield? Rozelle didn't want to put on a fake smile and give Al 3 more Lombardi Trophies.

[@Tyrunner0097]

Accorsi wanted to trade Elway to Dallas. The Cowboys were going to give the Colts Danny White, 2 other starters, and 2 first-round draft picks for Elway, but Colts owner Robert Irsay arrogantly nixed that trade and made his own deal with Denver.

What’s amazing is the NFL still hasn’t learned that you can’t cut your staff and players as soon as they make a mistake. If you do that, other teams will pick them up. And after they’ve shaken off the nerves those players and staff you had no faith end with absolutely dominant. This scenario happens over and over and over again.
