Olandis Gary. Mike Anderson. Rueben Droughns. Tatum Bell. All four of these backs were unheralded when they started their careers in Denver, yet all managed to top 1,000 yards during their stay. Of course, there were also studs Terrell Davis and Clinton Portis, too. But even Davis was nondescript coming out of Georgia in 1995 and wasn’t drafted until the sixth round.

When Isaac Bruce retired last week after the 49ers showed class by trading him back to the Rams for nothing so he could retire as a member of the team where he enjoyed 14 extremely productive seasons, the debate immediately began on his Hall of Fame credentials.

It’s been two months since the Eagles sent Donovan McNabb to the Redskins in a rare interdivision trade, and in those two months there’s been a lot of talk about McNabb being the savior that Dan Snyder has been looking for since he took over the team and began his off-season spending sprees.
