1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive Home of the Black and Goals

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I'm Dale Ally here with

3
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: Matt Williams and this is the Drive on Steelers Nation

4
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Radio and his time for the Fantasy Football Focus and Matt,

5
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: everybody's pretty much drafted their teams at this point, I

6
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: would yeah, I would think so, so I wanted to

7
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: talk today. ESPN has a story it's by Tristan Cockroft

8
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: on the greatest Fantasy Football Seasons. Now he went in

9
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: the past fifty years. Fantasy football has not been around

10
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: for fifty years. I mean, I guess they have the

11
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: information to say what they brown scored this many touchdowns

12
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: and cut many balls. Okay, fair enough, but fantasy football

13
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: itself is only and around since probably the eighties. Yeah,

14
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: I would say we started. I graduated from high school

15
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: and we were doing it at like but that was

16
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: my buddy. Sab would get the USA Today on Tuesday

17
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: with a pencil and paper, figure everything out with a calculator,

18
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: stick it in the mail to you, and you hoped

19
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: by Thursday when it was time to make pickups right right,

20
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: right right. So that's where it used to be. So uh,

21
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: his number one quarterback season Tom Brady in two thousand seven,

22
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: two seven. OK. Yeah, he had three D ninety point

23
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: oh four Fantasy points. Uh, what's this VBD? And I

24
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,639
Speaker 1: don't even know what this is? Your value value value

25
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: based drafting is one point four eight. I don't know

26
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: what that means, but maybe like if you had an

27
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: auction and that's what he would be worth comparativerybody else,

28
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: you know, whatever it is. I mean, I'm sure the

29
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: bigger than the number the better. Quick story on that

30
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: I mentioned this league I've been in a million years.

31
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: That year, I remember I picked like six or seven

32
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: middle of the first round, and I people knew the

33
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: Patriots would be pretty good because before that season they

34
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: traded for Randy Moss and they traded for West Welker.

35
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: But Randy Moss kind of looked done, and Welker people

36
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 1: to know the heck he was. I mean, the Dolphins

37
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: gave him up in division. So I'm like, this offense

38
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: is gonna be awesome, So I'm taking their running back.

39
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm taking Lawrence moroneunk right, give me the number one

40
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: running back in an elite offense. Didn't matter at all

41
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: because Brady three really crazy? Uh at two Dan Marino,

42
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Three sixty point six six Fantasy points.

43
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: His value based was one seventy point ninety six. Um,

44
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was him at twenty three

45
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: years old, he was he was Mahomes. Yeah, I mean

46
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna go to five six Super Bowls. You know,

47
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: lost in Montana, but he'll be back. Exactly how it works.

48
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: He beat the NFL touchdown record by twelve by twelve

49
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: a three year old, when nobody was throwing forty. Nobody'd

50
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: ever thrown forty before. He almost got the fifty and

51
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: people to throw the ball like he did in the

52
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 1: league at the time. I mean, really, I think he's

53
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback. People always ask anyone taking the league by

54
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: storm like Mahomes has Marino did. Yeah, I mean he

55
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: didn't go to have quite the success, but I mean

56
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: he had that season, and two years later he threw

57
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: forty four touchdown passes. Like I am a firm believer

58
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: that if he would have been drafted in the last

59
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: fifteen years, he would have every NFL record, beat all

60
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: Mannings and you know Far and all those guys. Number

61
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: three is one that you probably don't think a lot about.

62
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: It was Randall Cunningham in Oh, that's interesting. His rushing

63
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: yards was two and sixty eight more than any other

64
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: quarterback between nineteen have any three and two thousand one,

65
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: And there's probably three quarterbacks in the league that had

66
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: over and he threw. He threw thirty touchdown passes in

67
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: that that season, which was second in the league. That's

68
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: really something I don't if you remember this, but Matthew

69
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: Berry made a ton of waves predicting one year, is

70
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: this time of year, Michael Vick should be the first

71
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: pick in your draft, and it didn't work out. It

72
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: was falcons Vic and he even said there's too many quarterbacks.

73
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: You always wait on quarterbacks, but Vick should be the

74
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: first pick in your draft. And it's this logic because

75
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he's doing you. Think about the year Cordell

76
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: Steward had Yeah, right, right right, he had thirty one

77
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: combined touchdowns twelve I think eleven of the more rushing

78
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns eleven rushing touchdowns out of your quarterback. Roughly how

79
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: many rushing yards you have fo hundreds, just like five

80
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: or six. Yeah, and but eleven rushing touchdowns if you're

81
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: playing in the league, it only counts passing touchdowns for

82
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: as four points. To get eleven rushing touchdowns out of

83
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: your quarterback is ridiculous, remarkable, And again I would go

84
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: back to the rushing yards for quarterback. There's no one

85
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: close to him, and maybe there's one that's a terrible player,

86
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: but I mean there wasn't ten good rushing quarterbacks there

87
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: are now you know, he was a real outlier. He

88
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: was a unicorn. Number four and five are actually the

89
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: same guy, Steve Steve Young and ninety four. These are

90
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: just the quarterbacks Steve Young and ninety four Steve Young,

91
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: and they were unbelievably efficient, and he threw a ton

92
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: of touchdowns. He became the first player in the first

93
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: player to pass for at least four thousand yards and

94
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: thirty touchdowns. We also rushing for five touchdowns. I guess right,

95
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 1: had a good point, I mean, super efficient offense Jerry

96
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: Rice in his prime, and you had five rushing touchdowns

97
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: and two or three hundred yards you know on the ground. Yeah,

98
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: that's that's that's about right. Number six Aaron Rodgers in

99
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and eleven, he had three seven Fantasy points.

100
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: That's actually more than the guys ahead him on the

101
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: Christinas far but everybody else. It kind of they had

102
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: those years when nobody else was having He used to

103
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: scramble a little bit too, you know. Uh seven is

104
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,559
Speaker 1: Drew Brees in two thousand eleven. This kind of shows

105
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: you the different like kids. So that's the same year.

106
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: This is why Roger season didn't rank higher. He had

107
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: three seven point four two points. Breeze had six four.

108
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 1: But if you're one of those two, yeah, they probably

109
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: played each other a lot in the championship game. Yeah, exactly, exactly,

110
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: just a huge advantage of the rest of the league. Uh.

111
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: Number eight just two years after that Peyton Manning with

112
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: the Broncos in when he had I'm actually shocked up

113
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: yet touchdown pass without running at all. I guess Brady

114
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: was the same way. It was number one, the first

115
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: quarterback in fantasy history to reach four hundred points in

116
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: a season. Wow, So this is all relative to the right,

117
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: right right? How much better were they everybody else? That's

118
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: why Marinos so high. It wasn't much offense compared to now.

119
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: Number nine is Brett five in he only had three

120
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: hundred seven point five six points, but nobody was throwing

121
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: the football. In fact, I won the Championship that year.

122
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: I remember I drafted Brett farve Um. I'm sure that

123
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: was one of his MVP years. Yeah, I got him

124
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: though in the middle rounds and like rode him like

125
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: a horse, you know, I mean he was a superstar.

126
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: Number ten two thousand four Dante Culpepper Wow three d

127
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: seventy three point two eight points. So the top ten

128
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: Brady Marino, Manning didn't run, Breeze a little, Rogers a little,

129
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: but basically half the list were runners even when there

130
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: weren't runners. You mentioned Mahomes. Mahomes has the record for

131
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: most Fantasy points by quarterback, but four seventeen point eighteen.

132
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: But the others that they were, they were close to that. Yeah,

133
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't an outlier, which again goes to our point

134
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: that you don't draft a quarterback eck early because if

135
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: mahomes record breaking season isn't in these top ten, Like

136
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: if Mahomes has that exact same year this year plus

137
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: one game because the new schedule, will he be that

138
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: much better than Russell Wilson that you got seven rounds later,

139
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: six rounds Josh Allen right right right? The top running

140
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: back this this season was just unbelievable. I think there's

141
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: been a lot of the same names on this one.

142
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: Two thousand six Ladinian Tomlinson, I was taking lt emmett

143
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: four hundred one point one touchdown year fantasy touchdown record

144
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: that year. Yeah, and he caught the ball before any

145
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: running backs cut the ball, and that was a cheap code.

146
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: Then that's just that's a single season record for PPR

147
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: fantasy points. It's also the non PPR fantasy point total.

148
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: He had four five non PPR part PPR points. Yeah,

149
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: I remember, I mean touchdowns galore and catching the ball

150
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: and a great player, what a player. In weeks six

151
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: through fifteen he had three hundred seventy five point two.

152
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: You weren't losing to anybody, and that's your fantasy playoffs, right,

153
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: all right. Christian McCaffrey's number two. Impressive because there was

154
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: a lot of points, but he put up a thousand

155
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: yard rushing, thousand yard receiving. That's that's pretty hard argue with.

156
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: You'll love this one too, this one, this was a

157
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,599
Speaker 1: big one. Priest Holmes in two thousand three three, that

158
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: was huge. Hugh Mongous, Yeah, it kind of came out

159
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: of nowhere, right, and he was undrafted player. Yeah. I

160
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: mean he had played for the Ravens and just been

161
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: a guy's been a guy, and then he kind of

162
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: handed the torch over to Larry Johnson on those Chiefs

163
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: teams and put up a lot of Fantasy points too.

164
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: There was like a five year stretch their Chiefs backs

165
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: doing really well. Number four Tomlinson in two thousand three.

166
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: But year was the first one two thousand six. Okay,

167
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: that a little bit stretched out back. He had four

168
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: D forty three point eight four Fantasy points that year.

169
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: I mean that's just monsters. Number five Marshall Falk in

170
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: two thousand I was gonna bring up Falk just because

171
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: of the receptions ahead of the way, ahead of the

172
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: curve as a receiver, like I think Falk would catch

173
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: over hundred balls of right now without a dollar. Im

174
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: is catching five. I bet he catches. I can remember

175
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: Bill Kauer talking about him before the Steelers played the

176
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: Colts in the playoffs. What a scary guy Falk was

177
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: as a receiver. Yeah, I mean, even like the Belichick

178
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: famous show on turf. Well, if Warner throws for four

179
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: hundred on us, fine, but we can't let Falk beat us,

180
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: you know, bang him every time out of the backfield.

181
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: Key on him. What a superstar. So that was his

182
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: two thousand years. His two thousand one year was the

183
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: next one at four nineteen point seven oh points. He

184
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: also has the number eight season nine point nine oh

185
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: so in the three year stretchy had one thousand, two

186
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: hundred ninety seven and a half Fantasy points. Like LT,

187
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: there was a four year stretch that he was the

188
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: first overall pick slam down, forget about it. Emtt had

189
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: that's title for a little while too. Yeah. Um after that,

190
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: Priest Holmes in two thousand two four forty point seven

191
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: fantasy points. I want to say that's like the will

192
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: Shields Willie rope they could run against. Number nine is O. J.

193
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: Simpson in nineteen seventy five, I think two thousand yards

194
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: and what twelve or fourteen games? Four teen games? He

195
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: had three hundred ninety point three Fantasy points that year.

196
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: This is our first guy from like the seventies, right

197
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: or even ancient histories. Title. Number ten is Emmett Smith

198
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: In had four hundred, fourteen point eight fantasy touchdowns. Yeah.

199
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: The wide receivers number one, Jerry rice In is a

200
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: good year for fantasy players, you had Jerry Rice or

201
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: Emmitt Smith, you were golden. That's the year the Steelers

202
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: would have played them in the Super Bowl, right they

203
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: played Steelers that Uh yeah, ninety four was that they

204
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: played the Cowboys in ninety five in the Super Bowl,

205
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: right right, some year year off. But that was the

206
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: Powerhouse off obviously. Yeah. The offense, he had a hundred.

207
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: He had eight hundred receiving yards. It was the first

208
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: time in NFL history a guy had at least a

209
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: hundred receptions seventeen hundred fifty receiving yards in fifteen touchdowns. Like,

210
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: that's awesome. But I bet number two was a distant second,

211
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: even close. Yeah. Yeah, he probably twenty catches more than

212
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: the next guy. You know. Number two was Randy Moss

213
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: in two thousand three, he had three hundred and seventy

214
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: six fantasy points touchdowns. H They don't have the stats

215
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: list of number three. This one was interesting. Marvin Harrison

216
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: in two thousand two, I think that's a year. Let's

217
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: see here, he had a hundred forty three reception the

218
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: record that would stand for seventeen seasons. Um M M

219
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: and Peyton together. He had four straight years with a

220
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: hundred receptions, fourteen hundred yards and ten touchdown catches. It's

221
00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: his money, yeah money. Number four Isaac Bruce and five,

222
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: I guess I didn't remember him massively out promised Halter

223
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: or I mean, but that that offense was way different

224
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: than every other offense. Three and seventy six point eight

225
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: fantasy points. Well, actually a little shocked Warner wasn't mentioned.

226
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: Although it's tough to crack the top ten quarterback scores.

227
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: But number five was Randy Moss in two thousand seven

228
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: with the Patriots. I thought that was his best year fantasy.

229
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: I'm shocked it wasn't. The other three touchdowns three touchdowns

230
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: they got him for a fifth round pick. Yeah, because

231
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: the Raiders didn't think it was any good anymore. Uh.

232
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: Number six Tory Holt in two thousand three, three fifty

233
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: nine point one oh fantasy points. They had to throw

234
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: more than anyone else, anybody else. Yeah, and they had

235
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: folk and right, right, and like as you're a team. Yeah,

236
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: you know he was on a fantasy roster, you know. Uh,

237
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: Number seven Jerry Rice and four see a trend here, Yeah,

238
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: you have Moss. How about this one though? This is

239
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: another but it's not anybody that you would think number

240
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: eight is Herman Moore with the Alliance. He had three

241
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: hundred seventy one point six Fantasy points that year. I

242
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: don't remember being that dominant. More was a monster player,

243
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: a big, tall, go up and get a touchdown machine.

244
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: But wow, I didn't expect that name in the top

245
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: ten even when you said it, I thought number nine

246
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown in two thousand fourteen, he had three eighty

247
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: six point nine Fantasy points. If you remember the next

248
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: year in was when he was there. He was going

249
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: number one in drafts, and receivers never did and receivers

250
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: never go number one over but there were no running

251
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: backs that jumped out there. He was a sure He

252
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: was a sure thing as there was in fantasy football,

253
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: and Julio was to yeah. But Brown just he had

254
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: the touchdowns, he had the yards he had to catch us. Yeah. Yeah.

255
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: He was a sure things you could get, more so

256
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: than like any receiver in this draft. This was highest

257
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: scoring individual season during a four year stretch from two

258
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: thousand thirteen to two thousand sixteen when he had one.

259
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: I was in nine two point seven Fantasy points over

260
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: three years. The only guys who have ever done more. Ever,

261
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: four the only guys who've ever done that better were

262
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:14,479
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice from two to ninety six and Marvin Harrison.

263
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: This is the thing when people when people talk about

264
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: is Antonio Brown Hall of Famer? He absolutely is right now? Yeah,

265
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: and he oh, by the way, he picked up a

266
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: ring for good measure last year. Uh. And then number

267
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: ten is Jerry Rice and there, I mean, he's just

268
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: killed it, killed it. Wow. I think I saw a

269
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: thing the other day in fact, that if the closest

270
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: receiver to Moss or two two Rice right now, uh,

271
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: in terms of catches with with um the current players

272
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: active guys, I think it is Julio Jones. Makes sense.

273
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: Julio Jones would need to average a thousand yards a

274
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: season for the next ten years to catch Jerry. Right,

275
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: he's thirty two, He's not gonna play that long. Rice

276
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: beaten though, I don't know. I mean, he played, first

277
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: of all, he played along Every passing record is gonna

278
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: get shattered. But his his might not. His years are

279
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: so great that I mean, and there were so many.

280
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: That's the other part of it. Like he hadn't he

281
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: stacked seasons. He stacked great a bunch of great seasons

282
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: in a row, and then he did it for a

283
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: long time. I mean he hung on too long. There

284
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: was two or three years where he wasn't the same,

285
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: but that was like his twentieth season and post niners.

286
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: He was still a Pro Bowl or deservedly so, even

287
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: if his last name was Lalie or Williamson. Yeah, I

288
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: mean right, he was stud the tight ends, the number

289
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: one tight end season. He never guessed this one. It's

290
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: a three Todd Christians Todd Christiansen very good. Yeah, he

291
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: had nine two catches and twelve receiving touchdowmember that being

292
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: really rare. That's set tight end records that lasted for

293
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: twenty one years. Winslow kind of opened that door. And

294
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: then you know Ozzy was there and Christians and they

295
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: went crazy with him that one. Yeah, I do remember that.

296
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: I kind of problem myself that number two, two thousand,

297
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez. Number three Travis Kelsey. Last year. Kelsey has

298
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: been number one five years in a row. Yeah, I mean,

299
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone's at a stretch like Kelsey, but

300
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: there's the bar is higher for tight ends now than

301
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: it was three to Kelsey's season was almost twice as

302
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: valuable as the number seven tight end in the league

303
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, I read some amazing Kelsey stats. He

304
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: scored a hundred and thirty six more points than the

305
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: number three tight end. Yeah. I think you may have

306
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: even just said this. I think he had more points

307
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: than the third and fourth tight end put together. I

308
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: didn't say that, but that wouldn't surprise me if you

309
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: added up. It's about right. He was like wide receiver. Five. Yeah,

310
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: that's why people were taking him in the first round

311
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: this year. Uh, you might be a year late on

312
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: that though. Maybe. Yeah, at some point you're gonna start

313
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: to slow down. Uh. Four Gonzalez in two thousand four.

314
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: What's funny? He is? Who's the best chief tight end ever?

315
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: That's the conversation. It's definitely a conversation. Five is Kelsey

316
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 1: in two thousand eighteen. Yeah, he's going to the Hall

317
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: of Fame two quick today. I think Six is Christiansen

318
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: in six. Nice. He's really a big play guy. But

319
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: just they peppered him. Ye. Seven, get another one here

320
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: and one and you're hip pocket Williamson. I'm gonna be

321
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: mad at myself. No, Ben Coach, Ben coach, I've told

322
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: you my Ben coach story. He was our tight end

323
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: coach when I was with the Brown He had nineties

324
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: six catches that year, which broke Christiansen's record. I was

325
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: the second tallest guy that played pick up hoops, so

326
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: I got the guard been coach didn't go well, should

327
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: have got it. Number eight Rob Gronkowski in two thousand eleven.

328
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: Little shocked we haven't mentioned him yet. I mean because

329
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: he had big his yards. Kelsey was around. Some of

330
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: these other tight ends are around that teams. There's been

331
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: some good ones. Witten and you know nine is the

332
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: same guy. He kind of kicked the eat the door

333
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: and for the tight end position. Kellen Winslow in nineteen

334
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: eighty I'm shocked he wasn't sooner because no tight ends

335
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: were catching it. At eight. He had two hundred seventy

336
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: two points that year. In two thousand or nineteen eighty three,

337
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: he had two hundred fifty three point two Fantasy points.

338
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: He was the cheat code back then. Yeah, he was

339
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: Jimmy Christensen, he absolutely was. Yeah, Yeah, Winslow was. Really

340
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: he was one of my favors at the time, and

341
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: a lot of us because that Dolphin game. Everybody remembers

342
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: when I was a kid and that timed up. But man,

343
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: he was way ahead of the curve. Give Cory also

344
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: credit for you know, understanding it. Yeah, he was a

345
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: big receiver. That was a matchup issue, especially back then

346
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: there were no Nickel defense and thinking, I was like

347
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: they like West Chandler and Charlie Joyner and John Jefferson

348
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: and Muncey was the been the matchup on line backers. Yeah,

349
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: and he must always be on linebackers. You had to

350
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: play dime against that. Nobody even knew what dime was.

351
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: If I said play dime and said what's time? That

352
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: was not even a thing back. You mean, we got

353
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: to bring in a six defensive back get out of here, right,

354
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: and truck Munty would just run overall and was a quarterback. Right.

355
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: Not so bad. Interesting list a lot of a lot

356
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: of seasons there, but but it's interesting though the outliers

357
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: for their day, how much better they were? Yeah, yeah, right,

358
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, I mean in a way Kelsey's been but

359
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: you know, Kittle, Win Waller and these guys have been

360
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: pretty good over that five year stretch to you know,

361
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: like who can be the true outlier for their position

362
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: that we didn't see coming? You know, like it's easy

363
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: to say the running quarterbacks. But I mean you think

364
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: about it, that that that great season that Mahomes had

365
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: two years ago didn't rate isn't enough, It wasn't enough

366
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: to get onto this list. And honestly, Derrick Henry is

367
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: not even a glimpse. Didn't make it superstars, doesn't. I

368
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: mean you look at those rundbacks, Tomlinson, Priest Holmes caught

369
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: the football. Yes, absolutely, I mean Tomlins, Tomlinson ahead of

370
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: their time. Yeah. O. J. Simpson caught the football back

371
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: in the in the seventies. So like ten years from

372
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: now we're old and gray doing this grey or we're

373
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: gonna say, how about that running back that through five

374
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: touchdown passes that we didn't see coming? You know what

375
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: I mean, what's the how's the game going to evolve?

376
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: We know running backs to catch passes or a cheek

377
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: code and quarterbacks that run, well, there would be some

378
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: other one down the road. What is it? You know

379
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: running backs that run or a quarter or wid wide

380
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: receivers that get running back or for the football. Right,

381
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: that wide receiver caught a hundball yards rushing going back

382
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: to the wing tea right, right, right? I mean it's

383
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: gonna be something new. Yeah, there always is, but certainly interesting.

384
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: That is however, going to do it for the Fantasy

385
