Some people are just like that, jock strap jokes, etc. but most are in junior high school. Jim Brown was the premier running back of his 9 year career but he lost the running title in 1962 to yeah you guessed it Jim Taylor 1474 yards in 14 games who shared some duties with Paul Hornung. I was really pizzed about that, oh yeah I was 12 that year. (no jock jokes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr, Dowler, Adderly, Horngung, Nietzke (sp) Ringo, Gregg, Kramer, and more. Jim Brown had Jack Schidt, AND only.an average QB to win it all in 64. Taylor was a tough guy but he was an average ram rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(no jock jokes) Hornung was the good looking glamor boy from Notre Dame and Taylor was the workhorse with a lunch pail who showed up every game. He had 1000+ yds rushing per season 5 years in a row from 1960-64. Hornung never had a season in which he ran for 700 yd or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornung was the ND QB Heisman big expectations guy, Taylor was the bell cow running the Packers sweep. I was still ticked Brown didn't win the rushing title every year and that he decided to do bit parts in movies and quit football, oh well.......

Tour2ma Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Taylor was the FB... Hornung the HB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Oven Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 I'm still convinced that the Lombardi Sweep was one of the most beautiful sights these eyes have ever seen. It didn't hurt those Packers teams that Paul Brown seemed adamant about giving Lombardi some phenomenal defensive talent. Brown gave away (off the top of my head) three HOF defensive players that would have helped the Browns immensely in the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that defensive talent could have meant that the Browns would have been the preeminent dynasty of the 60s, and not the Packers. Good lord, a DLine of Davis, Jordan, best Browns DT, and Atkins would have terrorized the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many examples throughout NFL history, Hershel Walker and America's team for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did all right without them in that era as They did appear in four NFL/NFC championship games. 1964,1965,1968,1969. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
