I’m no Niners or Raiders fan, but Jerry Rice has absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about
Yup!!! He owns records that will never be broken…
He was bound to decline after 20 years ! Lol
He cheated using stick-em. Booooo
Playing longer than your prime says good things about the player. Agree with you.
Too be fair, Rice declined at the age of 41 finally. insane for a WR
That's insane in any sport
@@theunovanative7640 not golf
Rice is easily the best WR ever
When you consider what he was still doing? Yes. Quite impressive
Sub out 41 and say late 30s and that argument would apply to just about all of these guys
Emmitt with the Arizona Cardinals deserve at least an dishonorable mention.
Russell Wilson is about to enter the chat.😂
Tom Brady as well.
Wilson is not HOF level
@@12thMandalorian i think he has 8 pro bowls went to two superbowls and won one he is a hall of famer
@@emmanuelmartinezmarin7783 Facts !
If you think he’s anywhere close to done, you’re delusional
Out of all the players Jerry Rice had a decent ending to his career at least he helped the Raiders reach the AFC title game twice and got the Raiders to the Super Bowl
I haven’t even started watching this yet and I already know the Dan Marino ass whooping against Jacksonville has to be on here 😂
Because you didn't mention it in the video, I'll mention it in the comments.
The last play of Brett Favre's career was a sack to the Chicago Bears.
And when he got up, he asked the trainer "What are the Bears doing here?"
Aaron Rodgers could be next on this list.
93 Rating, 19 TD-7 INT through 11 games isn’t terrible , just for his standard
@@benpietrzykowski9216 it is he barely throws picks now all of sudden it is rising up
@@ii-kingfancy-ll3915 Cause he has rookie wideouts (Who weren't necessarily the Julio, Calvin, JJ of their class) playing significant minutes, its normal growing pains
He has basically nothing but rookies to throw to and they aren’t even that good of rookies. Give him decent receivers again and look out
@@ii-kingfancy-ll3915 yes to his standard … max jones or Zach wilson has those stats, and their fan bases are calling them the future
Insane that Brady is 45 and still playing pretty well. Yes, his time is approaching but the fact is he has two Super Bowl titles past the age of 40.
He’s forever a God in Two Cities not just one.
You can't fault Aikman. He was basically running the team since JJ left and had all those concussions. Anyone would fold under that. I would hardly call him going out in embarrassing fashion.
Bill Simmons used to have the saying "Troy Aikman Concussion Face". With today's protocols, I wonder how much he would have actually played his last two seasons.
Aikmans got nothing to be embarrassed about. He's a bad man.
Jerry Rice is the G.O.A.T. of receivers!
WR is the one position that you can't argue!
absolutely true, there's really no debate
Qb? I still like Montana but most I'f not all say Brady. Also Justin tucker is best kicker ever by alot
He's the goat of stickum
Sterling Sharpe was about as close to Jerry Rice but his neck injury ruined it.
If it weren't for winning the super bowl, Peyton Manning had a rather unforgettable final season
Was about to say the same thing.
He was lucky to get the late season starts
Facts. The D carried that team.
He was actually BENCHED against the Chiefs in favor of Osweiler.
@@MilsurpMikeChannel exactly, but people keep trying to make it seem like he got injured
I would put Franco Harris' stint with the Seahawks in 1984 on this list. He was a shell of what he was & his stats proved it. Plus I believe he was only playing in order to attempt to break the all time rushing record.
@snwrist3 Emmitt Smith was halfway an effective runner when he was in Arizona. Franco Harris didn't even have a quarter of the yardage that Emmitt Smith had if you compare their stints in Arizona and Seattle.
@snwrist3 while I don't have the numbers, I believe that Tony Dorsett did better than Franco Harris did in Seattle.
Franco Harris played his last season with Seattle. In 1983, Franco posted his eighth and final 1,000 yard rushing season and needed only 362 yards to pass Jim Brown's career record (although Walter Payton wasn't far behind). Franco wanted a pay raise in 1984 but the Steelers refused citing his declining performance. Franco held out but the Rooney family don't play that game and released him. Franco would sign with Seattle and play very sparingly for one final season where he only picked up 170 yards, 192 short of Brown. Since Walter Payton passed Franco that season in career rushing yards and broke Jim Brown's record a couple of weeks later, Franco retired as 3rd all time in rushing yards.
Correction: Johnny Unitas did not spend the 1955 season on the Steelers practice squad. He played semi pro football for a team called the Bloomfield Rams for six dollars a game. He was a total free agent. When the Baltimore Colts invited him into camp in 1956. He became the very first superstar in the history of the national football league.
Well, not the very first (that would be Bronco Nagurski or Sammy Baugh, with Otto Graham wrapping it up in his first season), but how the Steelers could pet Unitas go, I'll never understand.
@@wvu05 No. John Unitas was the first superstar. Sammy Baugh, Bronko Nagurski, even Otto Graham were not superstars. Although all of them were great players.
Because when they played the national football league, it was a minor league. Compared to baseball and college football.
There is no such thing as a superstar in a minor league.
December 28, 1958 changed all that. The NFL championship game between the New York Giants and the Baltimore Colts. The first football game ever to go into overtime. Watched by a national audience.
Johnny Unitas was the quarterback of the winning team. On that day, he became a superstar. And he followed it up by winning the championship in 1959.
@@shackdaddy7106 "There is no such thing as a superstar in a minor league."
Well, in America, cycling and tennis are minor league sports, but I think it's safe to say that Lance Asteriskstrong was and Serena Williams is a superstar.
Agree wholeheartedly that pro football arrived as a major sport in 1958. I'm not saying that Johnny Unitas was anything other than a total legend, just that others helped pave the path.
@@wvu05 The only major sports in the United States in the first half of the 20th century were baseball, boxing, horse racing, and college football. In regards of national fan interest and attendance.
Pro football was actually looked down upon by some. Believe it or not something like professional wrestling. Football was seen as an amateur sport.
And the definition of a superstar changed once television came into the picture. No pun intended.
And you used poor examples will you mention Serena Williams and Lance because they became famous well after the advent of television. Cycling and tennis are not the most exciting sports on radio.
And you are absolutely correct when you say that others paved the way for Johnny Unitas. But Unitas was the first to get the national attention that is commonplace today.
Television is what made the difference for pro football, and it took about 10 years after television became a big thing.
Love your video man
I am a diehard Bills fan I have been for many years, Andre Reed, and Bruce Smith on Washington was pretty sad to see
For real.
That's what makes some of these guys legendary, their careers weren't affected too negatively by aging.
You missed the most important Brett Favre stat. His final play at the Packers, the Jets and the Vikings was an interception. That's a feat no one will ever top.
Randy moss just stopped caring. He did well when he was thrown the ball in San Fran but they barely played him.
Keep up your fantastic videos, God bless
That’s crazy Jerry rice played well into in 40’s and was dominant the entire time
I LOVE THIS INSTRUMENTAL BEAT 🔥
to be fair to Unitas he had a tendon snap in his throwing arm and tried to play for several more yrs.
Bruce Smith could have a mention on this list.
Based on the way things are going this season, both Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady could find themselves on this list.
No Brady isn't playing bad he just ain't tom Brady this year
I think both should retire.
Big Ben used to be unsackable then he ended being one of the most sacked
Hard to blame him, Steelers O-line was garbage and still is. Saddest thing about it was moreso just watching him go from gunslinger to pocket passer after his arm was cooked imo.
He is the most sacked in history. Blame Tomlin for not giving him a line.
Not a Cowboys fan but Michael Irving's concussion hit was a low blow from The Fans and players.
Nice vid
I’ve done my best to repress the Emmitt Smith Cards years.
Russel Wilson might be on this list in the future.
Tom Brady for sure … he definitely better not come back next season
Add Tom Brady to the list once he either misses the playoffs or get kicks out of the first round by San Francisco or Minnesota.
Excited for Sunday and Thursday.
I always believed and still believe that Jerry Jones unintentionally brought the Cowboys down in the late 1990s and early 2000s because he failed to hire a strong head coach to straighten the Cowboys back up after Barry Switzer turned the Cowboys into the NFL’s version of Animal House and the Dirty Dozen minus one plus he would have had to stay out of that coach’s way. I remember Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Archie Manning, Craig Morton, Ken Stabler, Earl Campbell, Bob Hayes, OJ. Simpson, and Conrad Dobler having had their careers end on less than happy terms due to age, injuries, and trying to play in the NFL longer than they should. And these players ended up with different teams at the end of their careers.
Marino losing 62-7 had to be humiliating!
Ray Lewis was spent his last year when the Ravens got their 2nd SB. RB's were running over him that season.
Video idea: every teams greatest comeback victory
Roger Staubach comes to mind, I was a kid at the time, but I remember some of his great games, but his last game and last pass was embarrassing, last game, a playoff loss to the Rams, who were a team in decline and only made the playoffs due to a weak division, his last pass was a completion to an offensive guard, not an eligible receiver, put Dallas back, and out of any luck for a comeback
dang these players went out sad but they still legends at the end of the day.
You could also say Adrain Peterson went out pretty rough to
He tried with Washington but that heap of fire can't be fixed
What about Emmett Smith on the Cardinals? Not a great way to end a career.
I still can't believe he went to the cardinals, or any other team. Should've walked away a Cowboy. He had nothing to prove anymore.
LaVarr Arrington’s hit was the final nail in the coffin for Aikman. Enter Anthony Wright, then the etc.
Do one playoff game every NFL franchise wish it could have back
Cowboys vs 49ers 2021
Ricky Watters in Seattle another. He finally got benched for Shawn Alexander.
Watters was all heart but burst was gone
Aaron Rodgers is gonna crack this list
One of my favorites was Emmitt Smith. I loved the Dallas Cowboys. He is the NFLs all time leading rusher. When he went to the cardinals,he really stunk up the place. He got a nice paycheck, but his running days were long gone.
That oline wasn’t Dallas lol that’s why he isn’t the greatest
The funny thing is that he was actually still pretty productive for his age, at least his first season he was
Same thing when LaDainian Tomlinson went to the Jets for his final year, and Junior Seau to the Patriots.
Jason Kelce will be a Hall of Famer for sure. Fletcher Cox too. Both had to be a part of that sad 1-5 stretch and 32-9 playoff loss.
Where's Jackie Smith? He was going to retire after playing his entire career in Phoenix. Dallas talked him into playing one more season and he dropped a point blank pass in the end zone. He will forever be remembered for one play. Ouch
Not to be That Guy, but the Cardinals were in St. Louis when Jackie Smith played for them from 1963 to 1977.
@@NJGuy1973 you're right 👍
@@nevergonnabesilent Honest mistake.
Rice is a legend.dude always played his heart out even though the money wasn't right.
A HOF doesn't go out in embarrassing fashion... full stop.
Dan Marino final game a 62-7 loss in the divisional round? Yeah thats what I thought.
Revis went out kinda sad too, he was getting torched on the normal and had to switch to zone.
Andy Reid asked Aikman to play for the Eagles. Just think how that would have been!
How is Joe Nameth in the NFL hall of fame? He has more interceptions than touchdowns. He didn't even have a td pass in the superbowl and he got superbowl mvp what???!!!!!
My best guess is he played in New York. I dont get it or understand why. Regardless of sport or topic New York has to be important or dominate.
Mike Curtis, Tony Dorsett, Gayle Sayers
Emmit smith with the cardinals remember that 🤮
Don't forget Emmitt Smith.
Weird to talk about how the Raiders are a place where HoF careers go to die when Rice and Rod Woodson had great years there in their mid to late 30s. Even Warren Sapp had a couple decent seasons.
Dickerson played with the raiders too in between colts and falcons
The way this guy is emphasizing pro BOWL let’s me know he is in fact a maniac
God bless you guys Always keep God first
You forgot to mention that Rice was actually cut by the Broncos right before the season. And I think Dickerson also wasted some time in Oakland.
It's a bit inaccurate to say that Namath dueled with Johnny Unitas in Super Bowl III. Yes, Johnny U got in, but Earl Morrall was the starter in that game. Don Shula wanted to give Morrall one drive in the second half to see if he could write the ship. By the time Unitas got in, it was late in the third quarter.
Emmitt Smith. Also Eric Dickerson played for the Raiders
So being a fan of the NFL for most of my life I’ve always thought “why?” Why would any NFL athlete want to possibly drag out their career for 1 maybe 2 or 3 more seasons with a different team? Unfortunately, typically when this happens it’s pretty much all down hill! I’ve always thought that if most of these players would’ve stayed with the team that made them famous they could possibly go out at least looking like they’re on top! Opposed to finishing your career in a different jersey & in a city where the fan base was so excited to see you come & hopefully turn things around for they’re team! But unfortunately the exact opposite winds up happening… instead of recharging & reenergizing their career they wind up flopping around like a fish out of water! Oh! And I hate to even mention this but y’all forgot a big 1, Emmitt Smith!!! Just seeing him in the Cardinal’s red jersey was enough to make me physically sick!!!
Funny they had 2 of the 3 triplets and forgot the one who literally tarnished their legacy by leaving Dallas to break the all-time rushing record and did it in unremarkable fashion for a losing Cardinals team.
@@NotMeNaNaNa he actually broke the mark the last season he had in Dallas
Day 1 of asking for the biggest comebacks of all time
Issac Bruce 21 catches in 10 games in final year. Steve Hutchinson to name an offensive lineman. Simeon Rice had a horrible injury plagued end. Fred Taylor like Peyton Manning was fortunate to get a ring despite horrible numbers. Thurman Thomas ended with a whopping 136 yards in nine games.
One player doesn't make a football team okay! Just because the team is having a bad season don't put it on one player
Emmitt Smith and Franco Harris
Earl Campbell with the Saints
We went to the raiders also with Marcus allen
From now on, ref Jerome Boger shall forever be known as ref Jerome Burger. It has been decreed by TPS.
i dont think joe n of the jets is a hall of famer his career numbers are a joke
All these guys, except for Rice who faltered after father time finally stepped in should have watched Barry Sanders more closely.
So having 1,000 yards receiving is a meh season? Rice had a good run in Oakland just age caught up to him and Moss became uninterested being a Raider that last year there.
Last year? More like after the first
@@erichoekstra206 yeah, the last year Moss was a Raider he was uninterested so that's why he only went for a 4th round pick to the Patriots.
Jim Kelly and Kent Hall who should be in the Hall of Fame losing to the second year Jacksonville Jaguars Steve Tasker losing to the Packers getting kicked out of that game then you had Thurman Thomas and Andre Reed in their last game as a as Buffalo Bills same thing with Bruce Smith but Bruce Smith has the all-time sack leader in the NFL
OJ Simpson: "Am I a joke to you!?" "I'll cut a b*tch!" 😂
Rodgers and Brady gonna be on this list soon enough, both should have retired/stayed retired.
You could have put Warren Moon in here.
God bless
Aaron Rodgers bout to be on this list Go Lions!💙🦁
The last couple of years of most of the aforementioned players were just paydays. These players weren't fortunate to have the generational contracts given out now days.
This is ridiculous. Are they all
Supposed to go out like Peyton and elway?
T.O. didn't kneel on the Star?
Do this for the NBA 😂
It’s pretty crazy that Troy was only 34 when he retired. Now most QBs are retiring in their late 30s early 40s.
When Dallas was unable to replace their myriad hoffers when they left or retired, he was exposed for what he was: The definition of mediocre.
He was overrated. Worthless without Irvin and Smith.
After typing this, I will again delete Jerry Rice playing for Seattle from my memory.
Hershel Walker you missed him
Walker was bad mid career
Dan Marino is not a “Nice Guy”
Video idea: NFL Teams that have hard schedules coming up in the future.
You can make this argument for just about every professional athlete except for Barry Sanders. Time catches us all.
Can't take the time to re-record the Dan Marino segment? Marino held over 40 NFL catches?
Actually, other than that, not a bad video for once. I can't really complain about the list.
Randy Moss last team was the 49ers
What about emmit smith the Dallas runback
Willing to bet $50 the narrator never played a down in his life.
Brett bleeping Favre!
It’s more embarrassing the longer they hang on.
Aikman didn't have a "spectacular" career, he had a mediocre career on a team absolutely loaded on all sides of the ball with hoffers and all stars. Stats wise he was never more than middle of the pack, at best. He is the very definition of the oft-derided term, "game manager." During an era where teams were pass-happy he had over 20 tds once--once--, never threw for 4k yards, had a lot of INTs, only threw for over 3k yards 4 times, and road Emmit SMith's coattails for years. He wasn't bad, just very, very average. Talk about being in the right place at the right time.
Tony Dorsett
If Irvin couldn't push off, he wouldn't be in the hall of fame
Will always be dan marino for me
