And yet plenty of fans want to compare and equate different era's and forget that the very ground rules have changed as if players who wore leather helmets would undoubtedly thrive in today's NFL.. Some would, but back then pounding someone's brains into dust was considered part of the game kind of like baseball when ripping your opponents legs to shreds with sharpened spikes was part of the game.. My grandfather was a testament to the sharpened spikes era. By the time I was old enough his legs were like one giant scar..
