He was in a system with talent that worked
Yes, but he continued the way he had always played, until he realized he didn't have to.

He was also a backup, so when he came in it was either irrelevant or he felt he had to do what he could.

He wised up.
 
I have Moon signed helmet and earl campbell signed jersey
I bleed blue through and through

Not have a local team forced me to have two favs
“Local team” for me was Bills, Browns, or Steelers. I chose wisely, Moon and the Oilers.

Oh wait, 30+ years of misery. I only partially chose right.
 
And he continued that trend in San Fran until he realized he couldn't continue that and he simply didn't have to.
I suppose he learned a thing or two under the tutelage of that SF QB, not Montana, not Deberg.........Steve Bono, that’s him.
 
Remember when Deberg played with a pin in his finger?
For those that don’t know, Deberg played a playoff game with a pin down his index finger on his throwing hand.
Couldn’t bend his finger at all because of the pin. I think it was against Buffalo in 91-ish?

He is the fucking man, for those that never watched him play
He said F it , let me get hopped Up on pain pills and let’s do this

He also put together one of the best passing seasons in 1990 that existed up to that point.

3444, 23 TD and 4 INT.
Those numbers didn’t happen in that era.
To be a league leader (maybe #5 in yards, and TD) with that kind of TD:INT ratio was pretty much unheard of.

Plus he played until he was about 200. Only Moon, Krieg and Blanda are up there with him (until recent history).

Retired Earl Campbell probably demonstrates to younger players the downside of giving everything to the game. He's difficult to watch moving around... so messed up.

The team had zero issues riding him into the ground either.
EG is the same story.

I don’t think they have regret giving all they had but more wishing that there were more guys on the field willing to do the same(or talented enough to bother).

I think both of them help make the case for using a second RB.
CJ and White were every bit as successful as a tandem without the 400 carry seasons.
 
Doesn't change what I said. I was talking about the individual players, not the organization.

Who wants to end up like that? Or any of the other numerous players suffering from physical issues afterward?

I mean, we listened to one on the radio for years that eventually had to stop due his own brain.

Give me my money and I'm going to live as comfortably as I can.
 
Younger players see this and understand... plus you hear more and more that it's "just a game".

I feel like the last biggie was Megatron when he retired early. Wasn't as much of a lurch, granted... but it was still unexpected.
 
What happened to the Colts Suck thread! They deserved a post for booing Annie! The man suffered a lacerated kidney, torn abdomen, rib cartilage damage, and a torn labrum in 6 years, all while leading them to the playoffs 4 years and an AFC championship game.... I can’t stand Colts fans, and although Annie sucked with the rest of them, the fans showed their ass today! COLTS SUCK EVERY DAMN DAY!

I grew up a Chiefs fan....never, ever thought Tennessee would get a NFL team....then Bud did it.
 
So apparently when Luck retired, it put the Colts under the 90% cap spend rule. Which is why they let Luck keep his money. To help keep them closer to the 90% ... it’s also why they extended Brisket, bc they needed to hit the spend minimum
