Would've loved to see him on the Mora team with the Dome Patrol. Get them somebody better than Bobby Hebert on those 91 and 92 teams. Averaged like 3 INTs per playoff game under Mora. Archie never saw the postseason but he would've done better than that. I do think an interesting question though, is how long would Archie Manning have lasted in the current era, with similar career trajectory? I can't imagine a team missing the playoffs for 11 straight years and continuing to start the same QB. Even if that QB didn't seem to be the problem. There's too much pressure to make a change now, IMO. He never would've survived a 1974 type year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wins matter more than anything these days. Its SO rare to see a player go his whole career with one team anymore, let alone his whole career on an average to sub average team. I cant even think of one other than Megatron but even he played a few playoff games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1978 49ers have the record with 63 turnovers.. we won a game where we turned it over 4 times because the other team turned it over 8 times. Look at the '78 and '79 Steelers, Terry Bradshaw threw 45 INT's in those two seasons, and they won two Super Bowls anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradshaw was a gunslinger. He was quoted saying that you can lose with me but yo can't win without me. Many of time he threw it up for Swann to get.

Tampa Bay D's had some key injuries (Kwon Alexander and Gerald McCoy), but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't even qualify that as an attempted tackle - he just kinda face planted, like that dude trying to dunk off of a trampoline: Seriously, he just kinda fell down...
