A Look Back at Football - 1939


Recommended Posts

 

Sure he would. If he was playing with the 2016 Pats. Modern NFL offenses would demolish 1930s defenses that were designed to stop something different.

 

But the rules and schemes were different back then. Could Brady have operated a 1930s style option offense better than the QBs back then? I don't think so.

 

He's a near perfect QB for today's game but I don't think his skill set fits the 1930s game.

His skill set didn't fit the 1930s simply because nobody had tried playing that way yet. It's not like the human race is evolving in 70 years.

Look at the size of the average person and athlete in particular in 1930 vs now. The human race may not have "evolved" in that amount of time, but human size and health have changed quite a bit.
