i hear people say that the sport has changed so much and the players are soft. i don't think that is accurate. just look at players who retired early because of the games toughness eg.. terell davis, marshal faulk, robert smith-mn vikes (he had both ankles and knees reconstructed multiple times.). the rules have changed because the game has evolved with its players. yeah i think bret favre may not have achieved so much without new rules. he is a really good qb (may be the best of his time). but not better than bart star, fran tarkinton or jim mcmahon. i would much rather have him on my team (the vikes) but before he leaves he will get used up by greenbay. just like the bears used up jim mcmahon before he bounced around. its different today, back in the day of the purple gang, steel curtain, fred "da hamma" everytime two teams took the field it was a war. karl eller made it his personal mission to take out star and most of the time star could remember his phone number afterwar
