Cam Ward

Yeah, it's weird. It's why I sometimes like to look at stats per game when comparing players. It's a little like comparing Jim Brown's stats in the 12 game era to this 16 or 17 game era. I'm glad Barkley sat out. Breaking the rushing record would've felt a little hollow in a 17th game. Then again, Dickerson breaking OJ's record that he got in 14 games could be viewed as hollow too.

Amen!

Not to mention, in the Jim Brown era, the hash marks were much wider than in the modern day NFL. Even though the defensive team may have known where the run play was designed for back then, they still couldn't stop the one and only Jim Brown.

In 1965 (Brown's last season) $1000.00 then would be worth over $10K today. Similar type deal.

It's interesting to look at that era. Like you said, even though they knew he was getting it, they still couldn't stop him. At the same time he was nearly as big as the lineman on both sides of the ball. And how much bigger, stronger, faster would he have been with modern S&C? Would he even be a RB? Would he be a 270 lb DE?

He'd have been a 270 lb 4.4 40 running back.

Fran would never allow this

No way the Giants even have Cam on their board now.

Cam Ward impressed me in the Dome. Quick release. Strong arm. Built. Athletic. Great feet. If I’m the Giants I take him.

If McCord is not able to return, the Giants should consider McCord. Ward is probably a good choice but McCord is a proven commodity. He handled adversity very well, something any NYC athlete will need to do, and is a proven winner. Most players are not able to handle the NYC media and fans.

that said, Ward is likely a good second choice.

that Giants oline requires some serious foot speed right now.

Fixed it. This Giants fan has been greatly disappointed the last few years...
