Try to imagine Ray Nitschke and Dick Butkus on HGH and steroids. If you factor in size and weight, you`re missing the entire point. The only thing you can take into account, is skill...period. Yesterday`s players, would`ve been bigger if they played in todays game. Anyone who thinks the modern player is superior, is being naive, and at the same time, anyone who thinks the old players were superior, is being just as naive. Great football players, are great football players, no matter the era. I am not necessarily and "old school" guy....just old. I know the older players were great, but I am also aware that great players exist today. As for Julius Peppers...I would love to see him try to tackle Jim Brown one on one. Damn, I went old school....sorry. I`m also sorry for making the size thing an issue. I just think you guys could be onto something really cool here.
