The Pro Football Historical Abstract: A Hardcore Fan's Guide to All-Time Player Rankings
$39.95
As a former player familiar with most of the players from the 50's and 60's, some outstanding players were left out and some that were good but not outstanding were included. The writer obviously never saw many of them play and must have been influenced by someone else's hyperbole. Knowing any rating system has its flaws, the book brings back memories of many great players but is certainly not a conclusive or definitive study. Seems like the author really doesn't know the differences in the eras and who got the job done day in and day out. Some players are included and highly rated based on what? A good try, but needs alittle more depth.
