    Well with Rivers, the Chargers can come in and win right away. The roster overall is blossoming and with better coaching they could compete for the division. But would that bring them a loyal fanbase or just a temporary bandwagon of the casual fans? I mean once Rivers retires, will they still be considered a competitive team? Also, I am pretty sure the Raiders were winning back in the day and they still struggled to sell tickets. And FWIW, the Raiders actually have a large following in LA too. The worst part is that Gates and maybe Rivers will end their careers playing in a soccer stadium in a city that has shown it doesn't really care about them.

     

    It is weird how Portland is not considered as a future relocation destination. I mean when ever the subject comes up it is Toronto, London, and San Antonio. Portland is arguably better than all three IMO.

    Toronto is no longer a target, given the failures of the Bills Toronto Series. There is simply no major interest in football at all up here.

     

    I also think the stadium situation and having two separate fanbases helped with the attendance issues during the Rams and Raiders L.A. days. I'll need to look it up again. :)

    Benny didn't you tell me Lemieux is arguably as good as Gretz was?

    :yep: Only problem is that Mario had injury issues plus lost a year to cancer.

     

    Agreed on the McDavid/Crosby talk. Same applies to Laine and Matthews.

    Super Mario was really good but no one is better than Gretzky.

    The reason why Orr can be considered better than Gretzky is because he was a real constant two way player. He didn't just sit back on defense, he was involved in a lot of offensive rushes and even led a lot of them.

    Wayne had the right conditions in his favor that allowed him to set his records: lesser teams and travel, protection, good health in his prime, a high scoring era and excellent talent. And he executed pretty damn good.

     

    Bobby Orr can make a strong case for GOAT.

     

    As for top tier goalies: give me Marty and Roy in the modern era.

    My biggest beef with him is he waits till his teams get behind in games before he opens up the offense (it seems to me anyway) but i can live with that...i think.

    Yeah, that's an annoying trend of his for sure. It was really bad in the Eagles 5 NFCCG appearances back in the 2000s.
