00:00comes after the legend well when you replace a Vince Lombardi I mean you're held up to a certain
00:08standard yeah a lot of times these guys replace legends and then you realize that you might be
00:12better off without the legend as long as there's been iconic NFL players and coaches there's been
00:22the poor souls who have had to follow in their footsteps for better or for worse when you follow
00:28a legend a guy that won a Super Bowl people are always going to compare you to Bill Parcells to
00:38Vince Lombardi certainly not everybody can can be better than his predecessor but the pressure's
00:45immense the fans love these guys there's some slug if you don't believe and I'm not saying win
00:51he's got a win championship in compiling our list we consider the exploits of the legend as well as
00:58his replacement success in filling his shoes it's how well the guy feels I think that's what you
01:04have to judge him by that's when we think in terms of boy look what he had to follow and
01:08look how well
01:09he did we begin our countdown with a big star a big city and a boy from Alabama miscast as
01:15a senior in the Big Apple
01:22Todd we trust yeah right are you serious
01:26Todd's almost a punchline I think for anyone who's a Jets fan there has never been a quarterback in the
01:32history of football that found the open linebacker better than Richard Todd
01:42in 1977 Richard Todd had the misfortune of replacing Joe Neiman the hero of an entire generation and the undisputed
01:50well Joe Neiman threw a lot of interceptions too and he wasn't that great either so he shouldn't
01:56even be on the list really
02:02Todd threw a lot of interceptions
02:07in
02:08in an eight year stretch as a starter he threw
02:21145 it's 18 a year
02:29in what
02:40sports icon of New York
02:46this is the guy that won arguably the most important game in the history of the NFL
02:51and you
02:52the guy has to replace that guy
02:54he has finally crept out of a large shadow cast by Joe Neiman and is establishing himself as a first
03:00-rate quarterback in the near future
03:01when they were looking to replace Joe Neiman I think the Jets went overboard trying to find the clone of
03:06Joe Neiman
03:06the same college same everything he replaced Joe Neiman at Bama which was whatever impossible and then he replaces him
03:14in the Jets and then good luck
03:15but they tried to convince him he didn't replace Joe Neiman at Bama Joe Neiman turned pro like
03:22when he was 12
03:24when when Richard Todd was 11 years old
03:29since themselves that they had
03:32another name
03:33but
03:34what they had was Richard Todd
03:37Richard Todd's name is Carl Richard Todd
03:42imagine thinking the guy with three first names is gonna
03:46be your franchise
03:51Richard Todd was the answer to the question
03:53what happened if you took Joe Neiman and took away all of his personality
03:56yeah not only is that big shoes to fill on the football field but
04:05no chance
04:06I'm just uh trying to get along
04:08you know just
04:11just trying to get by
04:13look at that shot
04:15Joe Neiman was the man
04:16Richard Todd
04:16the next player was Richard Todd
04:18Richard Todd was moody
04:19Richard Todd was surly
04:21Richard Todd was a hard guy to get along with
04:23and
04:24most damning thing
04:26Richard Todd was not a very good quarterback
04:31by the 1980s
04:33our number 10 replacement had developed into a solid quarterback
04:36leading the Jets to back-to-back playoff appearances
04:4021 seconds remaining
04:42as Todd is back to pass
04:43he's looking into the end
04:50Richard Todd was a respectable quarterback
04:53that never really got his due
04:54Richard had a little bit of swagger to him
04:56you know Richard wasn't
04:58he was a Broadway Joe
04:59but he was no wallflower to say the least
05:02he had some very productive years
05:04at the end of the 1970s
05:05and the beginning of the 1980s
05:07in 1982
05:08Todd had a chance to create his own legacy
05:10when the Jets advanced to the ASE title game against Miami
05:14eventually
05:15Richard Todd does get them
05:16to the championship game
05:17although of course
05:21he has the dreadful championship game
05:24intercepted again
05:25picked off by Dewey
05:26where A.J. Dewey
05:27you know
05:28intercepted 12 or 15 in his passing
05:41blank them
05:41shut them out
05:42if they would have had
05:43a better quarterback than him
05:46intercepted by Dewey
05:47they had enough on that team
05:49to get to a Super Bowl
05:50intercepted by Dewey
05:52it's not for the quarterback
05:54good enough to be pretty decent
05:56but in New York
05:57in that era
05:58you gotta win the whole thing
06:00even to this day
06:03the Jets are still looking for Broadway
06:06coming up
06:07which coach found
06:10really none of Lombardi's assistants
06:14ever succeeded as head coaches
06:16and there were a lot of them
06:17unlike Bankston
06:19our number 9 replacement
06:20took his franchise to new heights
06:23the number 9 top is back to follow
06:26Tom Flores replaces John Madden
06:29wow
06:30that's a
06:32number 9
06:32I don't need to see the list
06:34I mean I think
06:35without even knowing who's in front
06:37I think 9 is too low
06:38yeah I think Flores should be higher
06:40if one of our criteria is
06:42how well did he fill the shoes
06:44Flores filled them extremely well
06:46to the point where
06:47he wound up winning more Super Bowls
06:49than the legend that preceded him
06:51not only does John Madden
06:53sport the highest winning percentage
06:54of any coach in NFL history
06:56he's also an unforgettable character
06:59on the sideline he was a maniac
07:01hey
07:02hey
07:03how the f**k do you play
07:04you ever call one on them
07:06wow
07:07well one guy fills up a room
07:09and the other guy
07:10you don't even know he's in the room
07:11we know what has to be done
07:13and we know how to do it
07:14when you're succeeding anybody
07:16who's successful
07:17it's tough enough
07:17when you're succeeding somebody
07:19who is successful
07:20in a personality
07:21it's doubly tough
07:22if you talk to a lot of people today
07:23and ask them
07:24who's the coach of the Raiders
07:25on all of those Super Bowl teams
07:27there's some people to this day
07:28that'll argue with you
07:29that was oh that was Madden
07:30and no it wasn't
07:31it was a guy named Tom Flores
07:32at the time it was like
07:33who is this guy
07:34but Tom Flores
07:35he might be a Hall of Fame coach
07:39Tom Flores
07:40you're talking about qualifications
07:42give me a break
07:44our number 9 replacement
07:46went from Raiders quarterback
07:47to assistant coach under Madden
07:49before taking over the top job
07:51in 1979
07:52he's a prime example
07:54of what you want
07:54Tom Flores did it his way
07:56his own style
07:57there was no other John Madden
07:58he was able to
08:04implement the things
08:06that he picked up
08:07as an assistant coach
08:09on the Madden
08:10like how to maintain order
08:12in the halfway house
08:13of the NFL
08:14you talk about
08:16miscreants
08:17and athletes
08:18you had
08:18Ted Hendricks
08:21questionably
08:21the greatest
08:23playing nut
08:24in the world
08:25to make that work
08:26and that's your head coach
08:36despite his success
08:38why is a two time
08:39Super Bowl championship
08:40head coach
08:41ranked so low
08:42on our list
08:44I think we all know
08:45the answer to that question
08:45there's a man named
08:47Al Davis
08:47does anybody know
08:48NFL Network
08:49Al Davis
08:49refer to him right
08:50he owns the team
08:51and yeah
08:53I think Al's
08:54domineering personality
08:56and domineering
08:57ownership style
08:57makes it difficult
08:58for any Raider coach
08:59to ever flourish
09:01on their own
09:01perhaps it's also
09:03the stature
09:03of the man he replaced
09:04who only coached
09:06for 10 seasons
09:07see I consider
09:09Don Shula a legend
09:11I don't consider
09:12John Madden
09:13a legend
09:13Don Shula
09:14replacing
09:14Weeb Eubank
09:15now that's replacing
09:16a legend
09:17did Tom Flores fail
09:18no
09:19he coached pretty well
09:20he had a good team
09:21anytime you walk in
09:22and replace someone
09:23that's been successful
09:24and has done it
09:25this way
09:26and you go out there
09:28and do it your way
09:28and still win
09:29I think
09:29you should be
09:30on that list
09:39More than anyone else
09:41Bears football
09:42was personified
09:44by Walter Payton
09:48through 13 seasons
09:50Payton vaulted
09:51to icon status
09:52in the hearts
09:53of the Chicago
09:53faithful
09:54with his physical
09:55style
09:56and never surrender
09:57attitude
09:58if you have to
09:59follow somebody
09:59like Walter Payton
10:00a hall of famer
10:02you can only hope
10:03to make your own
10:03tracks in the sand
10:04Payton walked away
10:05from pro football
10:06after the 1987 season
10:08when Walter retired
10:10we were certain
10:11here in Chicago
10:12that there'd be
10:13nothing that would
10:13be equal
10:14when Neil Anderson
10:15was asked to
10:15replace Walter Payton
10:17he did a remarkable
10:18job
10:23Anderson quickly
10:24showed he was
10:25up to the challenge
10:34I tell you
10:35that guy's faster
10:36than I thought
10:37he was
10:37when Darryl Green
10:38can't catch him
10:38remember that
10:40he was the number
10:40one pick
10:41and they thought
10:41they wouldn't miss a step
10:43when I came in
10:44I was playing
10:45behind the best
10:45of all time
10:46so I could just
10:47jump in
10:48and some first rounders
10:49do a start immediately
10:50I had to wait my turn
10:51we really hadn't heard
10:52all that much about him
10:53this kid from Florida
10:55coming in
10:55was quicker
10:57comparisons between
10:58Payton and our number
10:59eight replacement
11:00were inevitable
11:01Anderson sought not
11:02to replicate a legacy
11:04but rather to create
11:05a new one
11:06I think what he tried
11:07to do is be himself
11:08and if you look
11:09at his personality
11:09he was a great deal
11:10different than Walter
11:12all I can do
11:12is go out
11:13and be Neil Anderson
11:14and do the things
11:15that I can do
11:16we never compared
11:17him to Walter
11:18we weren't like that
11:19we knew
11:20that he was not
11:21going to fill
11:22the shoes
11:23all the way
11:24cuts to the middle
11:25at the 30
11:2525-20
11:26he might go
11:27Neil Anderson
11:28touchdown Chicago
11:33Anderson surpassed
11:34the thousand yards
11:34rushing in his
11:35first three seasons
11:36as a starter
11:37you had to play
11:38against Neil Anderson
11:40he was the most
11:42underrated superstar
11:44ever
11:44four-time pro bowler
11:46that's not a one-time deal
11:47four-time pro bowler
11:48for an NFL running back
11:49that's incredible
11:49the physical price
11:51of being a featured
11:52back caught up
11:52with Anderson
11:53and possibly cost him
11:55a higher ranking
11:55on our list
11:56injuries cut short
11:57his career
11:58so we really never
11:59got a full
11:59appreciation of how
12:00far and how good
12:01he might have been
12:02you couldn't make
12:02the comparison
12:03to Walter anymore
12:04because Walter
12:05Payton never
12:05got hurt
12:06but despite rushing
12:07for over 6,000
12:08yards and 51
12:10touchdowns
12:11not everyone
12:11is impressed
12:12I don't remember
12:13anything defining
12:14about Neil Anderson
12:15to be honest with you
12:16just a good
12:17solid NFL player
12:18who you know
12:19certainly wasn't
12:20was never one of
12:21the great backs
12:22in the game
12:22if you can handle
12:23that pressure
12:24of following a
12:25great player
12:25and producing
12:26the way Neil
12:27Anderson did
12:28after following
12:29Walter Payton
12:29I think that's
12:30terrific
12:31coming up
12:32in Neil
12:33Anderson's first
12:33three seasons
12:34as a starter
12:35he had
12:35three consecutive
12:37years with
12:381,000 yards
12:40rushing
12:413 receiving
12:4110 rushing
12:42touchdowns
12:45that's third
12:46old time
12:47in NFL history
12:48it took
12:49Walter Payton
12:49six seasons
12:50to do that
12:52and we're
12:53talking about him
12:54like he was
12:54average
12:56you guys get
12:57paid to talk
12:58about football
13:05throughout the
13:061970s there was
13:08no greater
13:09western legend
13:09than Captain
13:10Comeback
13:11himself
13:11Roger Staubach
13:13Roger was
13:14my all-time hero
13:14he was every
13:15young kid's hero
13:17in the state of
13:17when they build
13:18the Mount Rushmore
13:19of sports figures
13:20in this town
13:21he will be
13:22head and shoulders
13:23above the rest of them
13:24but even monumental
13:26heroes eventually
13:27retire
13:28I appreciate my
13:29teammates through
13:30the years
13:30because I'm one
13:31that's been
13:32successful in this
13:33system
13:33I remember
13:34even though Roger
13:35retired I went
13:36we got Danny White
13:37we're gonna be fine
13:38for more than a
13:39decade
13:39Staubach was an
13:40extension of the
13:42coach in the
13:42huddle
13:43now came a man
13:45more accustomed
13:45to carrying a
13:47clipboard than
13:48carrying a team
13:49if there was
13:50anybody I would
13:51like to copy
13:52myself after
13:53it would probably
13:53be Roger
13:54but I'm not
13:54going to try
13:55to do that
13:55if it turns
13:56out that way
13:56fine
13:57but I'm
13:57going to do
13:57the things
13:58that Danny
13:58White does
13:59best
14:00and do them
14:00the way
14:01that I do
14:01him the best
14:04he was handed
14:05a job that
14:06just cannot
14:07be done
14:07Danny White
14:08could have
14:09won three
14:09Super Bowls
14:10in his first
14:11three seasons
14:11and he was
14:12never going
14:12to be as
14:13popular as
14:13Roger Staubach
14:15our number
14:16seven replacement
14:16kept the Cowboys
14:17winning
14:18in 1980
14:19his first year
14:20as starter
14:21he staged
14:22an epic
14:22playoff
14:23comeback
14:23against Atlanta
14:32Danny's
14:33first three
14:34years
14:34they went
14:34to the
14:34NFC
14:35championship
14:35game
14:36every year
14:36lost
14:37all three
14:38years
14:38lost in the
14:39shadow of the
14:40catch
14:40was White's
14:41own last minute
14:42rally
14:43Danny White
14:43was a play
14:44away
14:45from making
14:46his own
14:47legacy
14:47Danny
14:48still had a
14:48chance
14:48and they
14:50hurried back
14:50upfield
14:55Eric White's
14:57horse collar
14:57saved the
14:58touchdown
14:58White's fumble
15:00one play
15:00later
15:01doomed Dallas
15:02for good
15:03if Eric White
15:03does not grab
15:06Pearson's jersey
15:07at midfield
15:08maybe we look
15:09quite a little
15:10differently
15:13Danny
15:14isn't a guy
15:15that you
15:15watched
15:16and went
15:17Danny was a
15:18solid technical
15:20quarterback
15:21he ran the
15:22plays
15:22sent in
15:23he ran
15:23them well
15:24but would
15:25Danny
15:25ever make
15:26the rabbit
15:27out of a
15:28hat
15:28play like
15:29Staubach
15:29no
15:30generally
15:31no
15:31and for a
15:31guy who
15:32does the
15:32championship
15:33game
15:33three in a
15:33row
15:34you would
15:34have thought
15:35he was
15:35terrible
15:35the way
15:36he was
15:36treated
15:37by the
15:37fans
15:37in
15:3880
15:38thousands
15:38Roger's
15:39a legend
15:40Danny
15:41will never
15:41be like
15:41that
15:42the quality
15:43in the
15:43clutch
15:43I just
15:44don't think
15:45he has
15:45I think
15:46Roger
15:47Staubach's
15:47a great
15:48quarterback
15:48and I
15:49miss him
15:53our number
15:54seven
15:54replacement
15:55actually
15:55threw
15:56for more
15:56touchdowns
15:57in his
15:57career
15:58than the
15:58man he
15:59replaced
15:59Danny
16:00White has
16:0062 and
16:0130 record
16:02as a
16:02starting
16:02quarterback
16:02how many
16:03quarterbacks
16:04in history
16:04have won
16:05more than
16:06twice as
16:06many games
16:06as they
16:07lost
16:07in other
16:07places
16:08there might
16:08have been
16:09other acts
16:09that were
16:10tougher to
16:10follow
16:10but around
16:11here
16:12I can't
16:13think of
16:13a tougher
16:14one
16:14but his
16:15postseason
16:16failures
16:16kept him
16:17from replacing
16:17others
16:18higher
16:18on our
16:19list
16:19Danny
16:20White
16:20could have
16:20won
16:21one
16:21Super Bowl
16:21I think
16:22he would
16:22be right
16:23up there
16:23with
16:23Roger
16:24Staubach
16:24in history
16:25but he
16:26didn't
16:26and those
16:27three
16:27championship
16:28game
16:28losses
16:28kind of
16:29defined
16:29him
16:29I don't
16:30think
16:30he was
16:30at his
16:30best
16:31on the
16:31days
16:31that he
16:32had to
16:32be
16:32at his
16:32best
16:32and that's
16:33what
16:33Staubach
16:33was
16:40That was a
16:41tough act
16:42to follow
16:43I mean
16:44Sonny
16:44had some
16:45big
16:45shoes
16:45because
16:46they'd
16:47won a
16:47championship
16:47fabulous
16:48Dutchman
16:49Norm Van
16:49Brocklin
16:50earned the
16:50league's
16:50most valuable
16:51player award
16:52for his role
16:52in the Eagles
16:53flight to
16:53victory
16:53The Eagles
16:55won the
16:55NFL championship
16:56in 1960
16:57and even
16:58though Norm Van
16:59Brocklin spent
17:00only three
17:00seasons with
17:01the team
17:01he became
17:02a Philadelphia
17:03legend
17:04Van Brocklin
17:08really owned
17:08the city
17:10in 1960
17:11after winning
17:12the championship
17:13Van Brocklin
17:14epitomized
17:15Philadelphia
17:15he was a
17:16tough
17:17rough
17:18great passion
17:201960
17:21was Philadelphia's
17:22last chance
17:23to see
17:23Van Brocklin
17:24he retired
17:25at age
17:2634
17:26a daring
17:27Dutchman
17:28fakes beautifully
17:28to Dean
17:29and lost a path
17:30to Billy Bond
17:30whoever was
17:31going to step
17:32in
17:32that was going
17:33to be
17:33about as
17:34tough
17:34an act
17:34to follow
17:35as you
17:35could ever
17:35imagine
17:39Jurgensen
17:40has the
17:40unbearable
17:41task
17:41of filling
17:42the great
17:42Norm Van
17:43Brocklin
17:43shoe
17:44after four
17:45years
17:45spent mostly
17:46on the bench
17:47Jurgensen
17:47became the
17:48starter
17:48in 1961
17:50the Eagles
17:50didn't miss
17:51it
17:52beat
17:53when they
17:53went from
17:54Van
17:54Brocklin
17:55to
17:55Sonny
17:55Jurgensen
17:56Jurgensen
17:56was phenomenal
17:57in 1960
17:58he threw
17:5832 touchdown
17:59passes
18:00in a 14
18:01game
18:01regular season
18:02which was
18:03a team
18:04record
18:04that still
18:04stands
18:05Sonny Jurgensen
18:06was a
18:081990s
18:09type
18:09quarterback
18:10it stood
18:11until
18:12probably
18:142017
18:15in the
18:161960s
18:17he waits
18:17for the
18:17pattern to
18:18unfold
18:18then calmly
18:19begs the
18:20ball to
18:20Bobby Walshton
18:21he is
18:22in so many
18:23ways
18:23what everybody
18:24sort of
18:24sees as
18:25the quintessential
18:26quarterback
18:27he always had
18:28this kind of
18:28smile on his
18:29face
18:29he would
18:30throw passes
18:31behind his
18:31back
18:31and he
18:32throws one
18:33behind him
18:34and that's
18:34the actor
18:41sonny just
18:41liked to
18:42party a
18:42little bit
18:43and I
18:44don't think
18:44the Eagles
18:44like that
18:45he played
18:45harder off
18:46the field
18:46than he did
18:47on and I
18:47think they
18:48got scared
18:49of him
18:49here
18:49Philadelphia
18:49by 1964
18:51Jurgensen
18:52was a
18:52red skin
18:53thanks to
18:53a move
18:54Philly fans
18:55can only
18:55describe
18:56as the
18:56Eagles
18:57being the
18:58Eagles
18:58he traded
18:59him for
18:59Norm Sneed
19:02sonny was
19:03a short
19:04time in
19:04Philadelphia
19:04but it
19:05was a
19:05great time
19:06in
19:06Philadelphia
19:07with
19:07Jurgensen
19:08during the
19:08pitching
19:09it looks
19:09easy
19:14man
19:14Brocklin and
19:15Jurgensen
19:16each spent
19:16only three
19:17years as an
19:18Eagles
19:18starter
19:18so does
19:19Jurgensen
19:20have any
19:20business at
19:21all appearing
19:21on our
19:22list
19:22sonny
19:23Jurgensen
19:23belongs on
19:24the list
19:24because he
19:25replaced the
19:26quarterback that
19:26just won the
19:27championship
19:27people don't
19:28remember Sonny
19:28as an Eagle
19:29they remember
19:30him as a
19:30red skin
19:30so I can't
19:31put him
19:31as high as
19:32some of
19:32these other
19:33guys
19:33I like him
19:33at number
19:33five really
19:34because he
19:34came from
19:35behind a
19:36future
19:36Hall of Famer
19:37and picked
19:37up right
19:38where he left
19:38raw
19:38anytime you
19:39have to
19:39replace a
19:40legend
19:40it's always
19:41top and
19:41there's no
19:42more legendary
19:43quarterback in
19:43Eagles history
19:45coming up
19:46which of
19:47these men
19:47found
19:47shockingly
19:52replacing a
19:53legend like
19:53Tom Landry
19:54is
19:56almost
19:56impossible
19:57except
19:59for
19:59Jimmy
20:00Johnson
20:01Tom Landry
20:02became the
20:03first coach
20:03of the
20:03Dallas Cowboys
20:04in 1960
20:05and held
20:06the job
20:06for 29
20:07seasons
20:08along the
20:08way
20:09he cast
20:10quite a
20:10shadow in
20:11Big D
20:11stringing
20:12together
20:12an NFL
20:13record
20:1320
20:14consecutive
20:14winning
20:15seasons
20:15Landry
20:16was more
20:16than a
20:17head football
20:17coach
20:18here
20:18Landry
20:19was a
20:20giant
20:21in this
20:22city
20:22he was
20:23just
20:23what
20:24everyone
20:25thought
20:26a pro
20:27football
20:27coach
20:27should
20:28be
20:28Landry's
20:29Cowboys
20:29claimed
20:30their
20:30first NFL
20:31title
20:31with a
20:32win
20:32in
20:32Super
20:32Bowl
20:336
20:346
20:36years
20:37later
20:37Dallas
20:38won a
20:38second
20:38Super
20:39Bowl
20:39but
20:40not
20:40even
20:40Tom
20:41Landry
20:41was
20:42irreplaceable
20:49Landry
20:50suffered
20:51three
20:51consecutive
20:51losing
20:52seasons
20:52from
20:531986
20:53to
20:541988
20:55and the
20:56writing
20:56was on
20:56the wall
20:57as bad
20:58as it's
20:59been
20:59Landry's
21:00last year
21:00he was
21:0013
21:01so there
21:02were already
21:02probably a bunch
21:03of people
21:03disgruntled
21:04with Landry
21:05I respect
21:05Tom Landry
21:06but I think
21:07the game
21:07passed him
21:08by just a
21:08little bit
21:08this is gonna
21:09be heresy
21:09to say
21:10but
21:11it was
21:12well
21:12past time
21:13Bob
21:14Bright
21:14the owner
21:15sells it
21:16to a

21:33everything
21:34you're gonna
21:34love this
21:35new guy
21:35you replaced
21:35the man
21:36in the hat
21:36with the man
21:36with the
21:37quaff
21:37you know
21:38with Jimmy
21:38Johnson
21:39there could
21:39have been
21:39better
21:40circumstances
21:41as far as
21:42me coming
21:42into this
21:42position
21:43it just
21:43felt wrong
21:44to say
21:44Jimmy
21:45Johnson
21:46Cowboys
21:46head coach
21:47here comes
21:50Jimmy
21:51it took
21:52Jimmy
21:52Johnson
21:52five seasons
21:53to win
21:54two Super
21:54Bowls
21:57it took
21:59Tom Landry
22:0018
22:02get those
22:03hands up
22:03forgive me
22:06being from
22:07Tom Landry
22:08as you
22:08could possibly
22:10get
22:10Tom Landry
22:11was stoic
22:12and quiet
22:12and composed
22:13and never
22:14showed emotion
22:15I'm awful
22:16calm
22:16regardless
22:16of what
22:17happened
22:17Jimmy
22:18was just
22:18the opposite
22:19of that
22:19because he
22:19always
22:20showed emotion
22:28Johnson's
22:28first season
22:29in Dallas
22:29was a disaster
22:31and only made
22:32fans long
22:33for the glory
22:33years
22:34even more
22:35when the
22:35Cowboys
22:35went 1-15
22:36that next
22:37year
22:37I don't
22:37think
22:37there was
22:37anyone
22:38around here
22:39who thought
22:39they would
22:39win Super
22:40Bowls
22:40under
22:40Jimmy
22:40Johnson
22:41and I
22:41think
22:41Jimmy
22:42felt that
22:42pressure
22:42that first
22:43year
22:43especially
22:44there's
22:44no
22:44question
22:45in my
22:45mind
22:46that
22:46fedora
22:47cut a huge
22:48shadow
22:48really
22:49blocked
22:49the sun
22:49for
22:50Jimmy
22:50Johnson
22:51but
22:51not
22:51for
22:52long
22:55Jimmy
22:56restored
22:57cowboy
22:58pride
22:58while it
22:59took Tom
22:59Landry
23:0018 seasons
23:01to win
23:01two Super
23:02Bowls
23:02that it
23:03took Johnson
23:03just fine
23:04Jimmy
23:05Johnson's
23:05taken his
23:06team
23:06from the
23:07absolute
23:07worst
23:08to the
23:09absolute
23:10best
23:10in four
23:11years
23:12Landry
23:12was still
23:13the honored
23:14figure
23:14but the
23:15talk in
23:16town
23:16was
23:16man
23:17how about
23:18those
23:18cowboys
23:22maybe the
23:23greatest
23:24organizational
23:24turnaround
23:25in the
23:26history of
23:26sports
23:29so why
23:30is Jimmy
23:30Johnson
23:31only number
23:31five on
23:32our list
23:32for starters
23:33his attempt
23:34to replace
23:34Don Shule
23:35in Miami
23:35never produced
23:36more than
23:37one playoff
23:38win in
23:38any of his
23:39four seasons
23:40and in Dallas
23:43he was
23:43hair one day
23:45and gone
23:46the next
23:46too low
23:47I don't know
23:47who's in front
23:48of him
23:48but what
23:49he did
23:50in five years
23:51might never
23:51be done
23:52again
23:52in sports
23:52yes
23:53Tom Landry
23:53was legendary
23:54he won
23:55his Super
23:55Bowls
23:56but as far
23:57as him
23:57being a
23:57tough act
23:58to follow
23:58when he
23:59left
23:59I really
24:00don't think
24:00he was
24:01it's the
24:01Cowboys
24:02and it's
24:02a new
24:03owner
24:03and it's
24:03Tom Landry
24:04this is
24:05going to be
24:05way higher
24:06on the list
24:06he handled it
24:07better than
24:07anybody
24:08who could have
24:09followed
24:10Tom Landry
24:11anybody
24:17any time you compare
24:20anybody with
24:21Jim Brown
24:21you're comparing
24:22talent against
24:23the best talent
24:24that's ever
24:25played the game
24:25the greatest
24:27running back
24:28of all time
24:29faster than
24:30a speeding
24:30bullet
24:33more powerful
24:34than a locomotive
24:37able to leave
24:38tall buildings
24:39in a single
24:39bound
24:41the pro game
24:42in the pop age
24:42had a number
24:43of superstars
24:44but only one
24:46Superman
24:46and he was
24:47Jim
24:49he just has
24:50an aura
24:51about him
24:51he has such
24:52a presence
24:53and you know
24:54it can be
24:54almost intimidating
24:55to be with
24:56him because
24:56he's just
24:57almost bigger
24:58than life
24:59you would think
25:00that there was
25:01no way
25:02anybody
25:03other than
25:04Jim Brown
25:05could play
25:05running back
25:06for the Browns
25:07after Jim Brown
25:07was gone
25:08no shot
25:09no shot
25:10how could you
25:11replace Jim Brown
25:12but Leroy Kelly
25:14was remarkable
25:18for two years
25:19the only ball
25:20carrying Kelly
25:21did for Cleveland
25:22was returning
25:23kicks
25:23then Jim Brown
25:25retired
25:25Leroy took his
25:27place
25:27and became a star
25:28so Jim Brown
25:30walks away
25:30to work on
25:31a dirty dozen
25:32and Leroy Kelly
25:33comes in there
25:34you talk about
25:34a no win situation
25:35look at his
25:37numbers
25:37after replacing
25:38Jim Brown
25:39after taking over
25:40as Cleveland's
25:41featured back
25:42back in 1966
25:42Kelly led the NFL
25:44in rushing twice
25:45and retired
25:46with over 12,000
25:48career all-purpose
25:48yards
25:49Leroy Kelly
25:50was this very
25:51very versatile
25:52back
25:52he was a great
25:53runner
25:54he was the same
25:55power runner
25:56but he could put
25:57his foot in the ground
25:58and cut
25:58you finally
25:59you're zooming
26:00in on him
26:01as who
26:01he's cutting back
26:02he had great
26:03balance
26:03and the sloppier
26:05the conditions
26:06were
26:06the better
26:08player he was
26:09not only was
26:09he successful
26:10but he was
26:11a popular
26:12player
26:13Brown was not
26:14a popular
26:14player
26:14because of his
26:15personality
26:18and the fans
26:19embraced him
26:19the rest of
26:20the National Football
26:21League liked him
26:22the rest of the fans
26:23liked him
26:23they don't have to
26:24play against
26:24Jim Brown
26:25anymore
26:28Kelly becomes
26:28a Hall of Fame
26:29player
26:29I don't know
26:30how much better
26:31he can follow
26:31and act
26:32so why is Kelly
26:34only number four
26:35on our list
26:35well there are
26:37a few issues
26:37to consider
26:38Leroy Kelly
26:39really didn't
26:40replace Jim Brown
26:41Jim Brown
26:42was a fullback
26:42Leroy Kelly's
26:44half a running back
26:45automatically
26:45he was good
26:46once he started
26:47because he still
26:47had the Cleveland
26:48offensive line
26:49that Jim Brown
26:49had
26:49he was a power
26:50runner
26:51he learned under
26:51Brown
26:52so he just
26:52jumped on the scene
26:53if you wanted
26:54to create a scenario
26:55to arguably replace
26:57the greatest player
26:58who ever played
27:00and it was
27:01Leroy Kelly
27:01I don't think
27:02he could have
27:03done a better job
27:03than he did
27:04so if you're
27:05replacing Jim Brown
27:06well then
27:07it should be
27:08number one
27:08right
27:09no
27:09no I think
27:10I think that's good
27:11I think that's good
27:12I think a guy
27:13that followed
27:13Jim Brown
27:14and now sits
27:15beside him
27:16in Canton Ohio
27:17that's filling
27:18the shoes pretty well
27:31I think Bill
27:33probably was
27:34the perfect guy
27:36to replace
27:37Chuck Knoll
27:38I mean that might be
27:38as big a pair of shoes
27:39as football's ever seen
27:41Chuck Knoll
27:42was the head coach
27:43of the Pittsburgh Steelers
27:44for 23 seasons
27:45and won an unprecedented
27:47four Super Bowls
27:48the champions
27:49of the National Football League
27:50for the fourth time
27:52at the time
27:52Chuck Knoll
27:53was the undisputed
27:54gold standard
27:54not just for the Steelers
27:55but for football
27:57the thing you have to remember
27:58about Chuck Knoll
27:59and how great a coach he was
28:00is the Steelers
28:01were the worst
28:02franchise in football
28:03before he came along
28:04they'd never won
28:05a playoff game
28:05when you have a coach
28:06who takes a franchise
28:08that really had not
28:09done anything
28:10for 40 years
28:12and then all of a sudden
28:13make that franchise
28:15the best franchise
28:16on the planet
28:17you probably have set
28:18the bar higher
28:19than it should be set
28:20it was my pleasure
28:29to introduce
28:30Coach Bill Kowler
28:33at first
28:34it was Bill who
28:35I mean this guy
28:36didn't really have
28:37a track record
28:37they liked his look
28:38the big jut jaw
28:40the way he was visibly
28:42emotional
28:42on the sidelines
28:43heck
28:43visibly emotional
28:44pretty much all the time
28:47let's go get your head
28:48out of your
28:48rush the quarterback
28:50you understand
28:51rush the quarterback
28:52come on Hagen
28:53get on it
28:55he wrote in the berg
28:56like I did
28:57that's every second
28:59guy you mean
28:59Steelers fans may have
29:01had a soft spot
29:02for certain chins
29:03but what they really
29:04wanted out of
29:05Cowher
29:05was wins
29:06there wasn't enough
29:07time for Steelers fans
29:08to say hey
29:09we missed Chuck Knoll
29:09because the Steelers
29:10got good right away
29:11the number three man
29:12on our list
29:13led Pittsburgh
29:14to playoff appearances
29:15in his first six seasons
29:17every single year
29:18Bill Kowler had that team
29:19prepared
29:20ready to go
29:21into the playoffs
29:22who can question his success
29:23and an incredible head coach
29:24well
29:24there was one
29:26nagging issue
29:26he couldn't win
29:29the big one
29:29he went to four
29:30no he went to five
29:32ASC championships
29:33in 11 years
29:35won one
29:37and then lost
29:38that Super Bowl
29:42Bill Kowler lost
29:44a lot of huge
29:45playoff games
29:46San Diego did it
29:47they pulled off
29:48the upset of the year
29:49can't win the big one
29:50that starts to hang
29:51around your neck
29:52the Patriots
29:53have laid a whoopin
29:54on the Pittsburgh Steelers
29:55the criticism was fair
29:56he lost four
29:58AFC championship games
29:59at home
30:00not to mention
30:01Super Bowl 30
30:02against Dallas
30:03all of them at home
30:03sometimes
30:06yeah that's fair
30:07when it came down
30:10to big games
30:11he was crap
30:12and his teams were crap
30:13and the record shows that
30:14of course all that changed
30:15and no fun
30:16that was the year
30:17Coward Steelers
30:18became the first team
30:19ever to win a Super Bowl
30:20after winning three
30:21playoff games
30:22on the road
30:23the Pittsburgh Steelers
30:25did it the hard way
30:26I think it changed
30:27his whole legacy
30:31all his playoff failings
30:33disappeared
30:33he got a free pass
30:35whether he deserved
30:36one or not
30:38I don't know
30:39when it's going to hit me
30:41but it's like
30:42surreal
30:42yes coach
30:44number three
30:45on our list
30:45is certainly prestigious
30:47but is it deserved
30:48I think first
30:49would be a better spot
30:50Bill Coward replaced
30:52at the time
30:52the gold standard
30:53for coaching
30:54in the NFL
30:54I don't think
30:55it was the toughest
30:55because it took
30:56Bill Coward 15 years
30:57to win a Super Bowl
30:58if you compare it
30:58to Jimmy Johnson
30:59replacing Tom Landry
31:00it's similar
31:01but Jimmy did it instantly
31:03no one's done
31:04what Chuck Knoll did
31:05four Super Bowls
31:06in six years
31:06you're going to
31:07replace that guy
31:08yeah
31:08I mean it could be higher
31:09certainly could not
31:10be any lower
31:12coming up
31:13it wasn't exactly
31:14turn number two
31:15tough is back to follow
31:17Aaron Rodgers replaces
31:19Brent Farr
31:20I don't know
31:21that anyone
31:21would have expected
31:22Aaron Rodgers
31:23to do as well
31:24as he has
31:25in taking over
31:26for Brett Farr
31:27when Brett Farr
31:29started piling up
31:30stats in Green Bay
31:31in 1992
31:32Aaron Rodgers
31:34was all of
31:34eight years old
31:35there's a man
31:36he's right out
31:37the touchdown
31:37and the Packers
31:39win it
31:39for 13 seasons
31:41we're talking about
31:42a living legend
31:43of the game
31:44I mean Brett Favre
31:45has broken every record
31:47that you can break
31:48Brett Favre
31:49is Brett Favre
31:50that's why
31:51Brett Favre
31:51is Brett Favre
31:52if Brett Favre
31:54is playing
31:54people stayed
31:55and watched
31:55just because
31:56of the things
31:56that he could do
31:57the way he could
31:58improvise
31:59the way he made
32:00the game exciting
32:00what a play
32:01by Brett Favre
32:02he shoveled
32:03the ball forward
32:04as he was going down
32:09in 2005
32:10Green Bay
32:11drafted a quarterback
32:12in the first round
32:13Green Bay Packers
32:15select Aaron Rodgers
32:16quarterback
32:17California
32:18number two
32:19on our list
32:20was number two
32:21on the depth chart
32:22for three years
32:23I realized early on
32:24what kind of relationship
32:25it was going to be
32:25and that I needed
32:27to just soak up
32:28as much as I could
32:31he didn't want
32:31to be his mentor
32:32that's not what
32:32he was paid for
32:33come on dude
32:34why do you have
32:35to be such a pain
32:36in the butt
32:36about the whole thing
32:37I believe
32:38Brett Favre
32:38one day would say
32:39hey Aaron
32:39put her in the old body
32:41and the next day
32:42Aaron Rodgers
32:42would walk up
32:43hey Brett
32:43and Brett Favre
32:44would walk right by him
32:45last year he had
32:45like a little
32:46like pillow
32:46with like bars
32:47and he wanted
32:47to just stand
32:51getting all the anger out
32:52obviously I think
32:53the transition
32:53could have been
32:54made a little bit easier
32:55but that's just
32:56how it went
33:01I think a lot of
33:01people just thought
33:02because he wasn't
33:03on the field
33:03that he wasn't
33:04any good
33:04that he wasn't
33:05good enough
33:05to displace Favre
33:06finally after all
33:07these years
33:08Rodgers becomes
33:09the quarterback
33:09okay Aaron
33:10we're ready
33:11he's great
33:12what a throw
33:13by Aaron Rodgers
33:15he's been an amazing
33:16replacement for Favre
33:17in a lot of ways
33:18has toppled Favre
33:20still can't become
33:20a baby right there
33:21his first three years
33:23he's better
33:24than Brett Favre
33:24was his first three years
33:25Rodgers passed
33:26for over 12,000 yards
33:28and 87 touchdowns
33:30in those three seasons
33:31and in 2010
33:32he led the Packers
33:33to a Super Bowl title
33:35what a crowning jewel
33:37of a season
33:37and a performance
33:38he had
33:39and follow my lead
33:40today
33:40who can be
33:40the big dog women
33:41scans the secondary
33:43pulls it over the nail
33:44leaping grab
33:45his face
33:45the toe line
33:46if he was still
33:48in the shadow
33:49of Brett Favre
33:50he certainly isn't anymore
33:54it's number two
33:55on your list
33:56he deserves to be
33:57number two
33:58on the list
33:58I didn't number sure
33:59but he was around forever
34:01Aaron Rodgers
34:02for Favre
34:03is number one
34:04it should be number one
34:05Rodgers steps
34:06into a town
34:06where football
34:07is the only thing
34:08on everybody's radar
34:09let's go Rodgers
34:10here I see
34:11really one of the
34:12great follow up acts
34:13in the history
34:14of the league
34:14and guess what
34:15there's more to come
34:16he's not done
34:18coming up
34:19somebody
34:20has
34:21yeah he's still playing
34:23in a lot of ways
34:25has toppled Favre
34:28the number one
34:30toughest act
34:31to follow
34:31Steve Young
34:32replaces
34:33Joe Montana
34:34the problem
34:35with that whole scenario
34:36for anybody
34:38other than Joe Montana
34:39was you can't
34:41replace Joe Montana
34:41it's just not possible
34:43what can you do
34:44to absolutely
34:44to ultimately
34:45fill those shoes
34:46it's like a
34:47a guitar player
34:48trying to replace
34:49Jimi Hendrix
34:50Montana
34:51gets up
34:52throws
34:54nobody did it
34:55with the ease
34:56and the calmness
34:58of one Joe Montana
35:00yup
35:02Steve Young
35:03was traded
35:04to San Francisco
35:04in 1987
35:05which turned
35:07Joe Cool
35:08into Joe Pridget
35:09from the moment
35:10he walks in the door
35:11you know
35:12he's arch enemy
35:14number one
35:15for Joe Montana
35:15I think there's
35:16no secret
35:17there was no love
35:18lost between
35:19those two guys
35:19when we get over here
35:20we start
35:21and I do it too
35:22we start
35:22peeping on each other
35:23Steve Young
35:24wants what Joe Montana
35:25already has
35:26and Joe didn't like that
35:27I think there was
35:28some genuine
35:29old school
35:30kind of
35:30dirty hairy
35:31animosity there
35:33I got stepped on
35:33like I've never
35:34gotten stepped on before
35:35I was crying
35:38it took him
35:39four years
35:40on the sideline
35:41before Steve Young
35:42finally got his chance
35:43to play for the 49ers
35:45at some point
35:45we gotta play football
35:46and boy
35:47he didn't
35:48disappoint at all
35:48an injury
35:49sent Montana
35:50to the sidelines
35:51then a trade
35:52sent him to Kansas City
35:53allowing Young
35:54a chance to flourish
35:56Rose
35:56he gets it
35:57to Brett Jones
35:57into the end zone
35:58touchdown
36:0049ers
36:00once that opening came
36:02hey school was off
36:03because Steve Young
36:04was ready
36:05for that position
36:09a promotion
36:10to number one
36:11on the 49ers
36:12depth chart
36:12only intensified
36:13the challenges
36:14for number one
36:15on our list
36:16down to the 15
36:17and he lost the ball
36:18Joe Montana
36:19would be running
36:20in the first place
36:21Montana's still the best
36:22and he always will be
36:24it would be obvious
36:25if he didn't win
36:26what are the fans
36:27going to say
36:28whose fault was it
36:29the quarterback's fault
36:30he was winning
36:31passing championships
36:32on the throw
36:33quick slanted
36:34Jerry Rice
36:34touchdown 49ers
36:36he was winning
36:37MVP awards
36:38all that stuff
36:39but he couldn't win
36:40the championship
36:41it's tough to constantly
36:42have that going on
36:44but that's kind of
36:47a part of the course
36:51in 1994
36:52Young had his best
36:54season individually
36:54but before he could
36:56get to the top
36:57of our list
36:58he had to get
36:58the 49ers
36:59to the top
37:00of the NFL
37:01heat
37:01they're thinking
37:02he's gonna get
37:03that monkey off
37:03his back
37:04he's gonna get
37:04that monkey off
37:04his back
37:05Young led the 49ers
37:06to Super Bowl 29
37:07and threw six
37:09touchdown passes
37:10breaking the previous
37:11record of five
37:12which was held
37:13by Joe Montana
37:15he also broke
37:16he also broke his
37:16career records
37:17for completion
37:18percentage
37:19passer rating
37:20and touchdown
37:21reception ratio
37:22when he finally
37:26got over that hump
37:27and beat the
37:29Chargers
37:29and threw six
37:30touchdown passes
37:31that's when he
37:32became accepted
37:33by 49er fans
37:39it's just
37:40catharsis
37:41it's everything
37:41just releasing
37:42no one can
37:43ever
37:43ever
37:44take it away
37:45from us

37:46and it might
37:46have been

37:48said and done
