    You missed the most interesting fact about Greg Cook. His injury forced offensive coordinator Bill Walsh to develop a short passing game for Cook’s backup, who had limited passing abilities. Without that injury the West Coast offense probably never happens. Walsh called Cook the greatest QB talent he ever saw, and that includes Montana.

      Joe Walsh didn't like Monatana. He thought he got to much credit. There's support for the idea he moved him not because he thought Young was better at that time but because he was tired of sharing the spot light.
      When he said "My system can be run by any qb who will listen to me" was a shot at Montana.
      Walsh was a great coach but he was a total dick, and ego maniac.

    CB Wayne Haddix is a pretty glaring omission. 7 INTs in his 1990 Pro Bowl season with Tampa, on which he led the league in both INT return yards with 231 and pick sixes with 3. Aside from his 16 starts that year, he only started a combined 11 games across 3 other seasons. Funnily enough not many people are familiar with him outside of people who've played a lot of Tecmo Super Bowl, which he's probably the best defensive player in-the Japanese developers weren't super familiar with American football, and based player ratings on 1990 stats, so they assumed he must be an elite corner.

      I actually love that the developers based it solely on the 1990 season…it provides a snapshot of a single season that way. I think Mark Carrier (Bears safety, not the Bucs WR who’s also on the game) also falls into this category. Carrier was a rookie in 1990 (Thorpe winner out of USC) and led the league with 10 ints. Thus, I’m pretty sure he has the highest interception ability on the game. He went to the pro bowl and was DROY that year, but I don’t his career was anywhere close to his rookie year). It’s obvious that game was the defining video game my childhood 😂

    Honorable mention, Lorenzo Alexander LB Buffalo Bills 2016. After 9 years in the league as a career special teamer and back up LB, Lorenzo signed with the Buffalo Bills in 2016. At age 33, Lorenzo won the starting OLB job and would go on to post pro bowl numbers and statistically have the best season of his 15 year career. Alexander posted 12.5 sacks which was more than he had in all of the previous 10 seasons before the 2016. He also recorded 76 total tackles, 3 forced fumbles, 6 pass defenses, and 1 interception. Alexander would go on to the pro bowl that year, his first Pro Bowl as a LB and 2nd Pro Bowl of his career. He was also named the DEF MVP of the 2016 Pro Bowl. In the 2017 off season, Alexander was voted #87 of the top 100 players in the NFL by his peers. Alexander would go on to play 3 more seasons with Buffalo, posting decent numbers, but never coming close to the 2016 dominant sack performance. Alexander officially retired after the Bills were eliminated in the 2019-2020 playoffs. What I think is truly special here, and the reason why Alexander deserves to be on this list, is that Alexander played for 10 years as a back up before he got his opportunity to make his mark in the NFL. But, even with the odds stacked against him, at 33 years old, an age when a lot of guys are considering retirement, Alexander pushed it to a whole other level and forever stamped his place in the hearts and minds of NFL fans, but especially in the hearts and minds of the Bills Mafia.

    An obscure one from Bills history: Terry Miller, 1978. In the days when breaking 1000 yards was the measure of a premier RB, Miller, in his rookie season, replacing the departed OJ Simpson, ran for over 1000 yards and made the All-Rookie Team. Three years later he was out of football forever, having spent years 2 and 3 on the bench. Chuck Knox was determined to make the likes of Curtin Brown and Roland Hooks a Thing and seems to have completely forgotten the 1000-yard rusher on the bench, as have most Bills fans.

      Miller started every game the year after his 1000 yard season. He played his way onto the bench in that second season. His yards per carry dropped off by over a yard. By his 3rd they had Cribbs who ran for almost 1200 and 11 TD so Miller was relegated to returning kicks.

Shanahan was a HOF-lock HC who led two Denver Broncos teams to consecutive SB wins in 1997 and 1998, respectively and even after Elway retired, Denver remained a competitive, perennial playoff team for close to a decade afterwards.
      I suspect, though that Shanahan's stint as Redskins HC might've damaged his chances at HOF induction, at least while he's still alive. I don't believe Shanahan was ever truly happy nor did he ever really want to be Skins HC.
