Message: [QUOTE="goofnoff, post: 4132840, member: 6909"] Trying to compare athletes between eras is in my mind a fool's game. When Brown played he was as big or bigger than most of the linebackers. Most safetys today are as big as the LB's back then. Sam Hough had a reputation as a "Brown stopper" and he played at 220 tops and certainly had nowhere near Brown's speed. I think Brown was the most physically dominating athlete in the NFL during his era. He was the blueprint for modern footballers. He could certainly have played in this era but he wouldn't be nearly as dominant. [/QUOTE]
