This video can teach the new football fan several things: 1.) Terrible organizations are responsible for draft busts just as much as the players themselves. 2.) Giving up a huge number of draft picks for one player to “get over the hump” almost always backfires. 3.) Coaching is a lot more important in football than in any other sport.

The Herschel Walker trade will be the all-time worst. Minnesota got a solid running back, Dallas got a dynasty.

Bill O’Brien’s incompetence: I. Am. Inevitable.

Usually not a fan of these “what would happen if” videos, but this one hits differently. You make them fun to watch and I hope you do more of these (might I request, vetoing Greg Olsen to the Panthers)

What about the ultimate lose-lose-trade in NFL history: Trent Richardson for a 1st in 2014 that became Johnny Manziel. Maybe Johnny goes to a team with a better organizational structure who can fix him. Maybe Trent Richardson doesn't bust in Indy. And maybe the Colts select a competent lineman or defender to help Andrew Luck and he doesn't become injured to hell and back and doesn't retire in his prime.

That Texans scenario was hell😂

I think it’s interesting how a good amount of elite QB’s like Favre, Young and Brees started on other teams then got moved to another team where they established their legacy

All teams should be forced to trade there best players to the jets, that way my team might go 9-8

Enlightening as a Texans fan. I thought I was living my worst nightmare now, but there is another layer lower of hell. Good video

Consider me skeptical that Favre would lead the Falcons to winning the Super Bowl against Elway, given that in our timeline Favre was on the other side of Elway's first Super Bowl win.

Honestly, i dont think Bo Jackson comes to tampa anyway. Hugh Culverhouse was so terrible as a GM and most players hated him. He pulled a move that caused Bo Jackson to lose his eligibility for college baseball. He hated Cupverhouse after that. And i dont think Young changes that. I will say though a video on culverhouses exploits as bucs owner would be incredible.

As an Eagles fan, that LeSean McCoy trade we made was horrible. Trading him to Buffalo and only getting Kiko Alonso, who has bad, it’s still painful. They got Demarco Murray who played well before he got to Philly in Dallas and after he left to Tennessee, but that Eagles coaching staff couldn’t figure it out

Love this video. Also love the Metroid music

I appreciate the Super Metroid music in the background. Have you been playing Dread?

I mean the irony is that the Laremy Tunsil trade, also a BOB classic, is increasingly shaping into the modern Herschel Walker trade. Not as extreme, but that trade tree has stretched across half the NFL with its impact already.

I remember that after hearing the news that D Hop was being traded, I thought that the Cardinals just gave up their entire team and their firstborn children to get him. But when I heard what O'Brien got in return, I laughed for 30 minutes straight

Here’s an interesting scenario: What if the Bucs DO NOT trade for Gruden in the 02 offseason? With Tony Dungy fired after the 01-02 season for failing to get the Bucs over the hump, the Bucs opt to hire … *flips pages*….. Former Giants Defensive Coordinator John Fox who lead the Giants to the Super Bowl in 2000! Tampa still owns their 2 first round picks and second round picks and starter Dexter Jackson is an impending free agent. So with the 22nd pick in the 2002 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select… University of Miami safety Ed Reed to pair with perennial Pro Bowler John Lynch. Maybe the Bucs ride a ball hawking defense to their first Super Bowl anyway (also Dexter Jackson doesn’t win Super Bowl MVP). And in the 2003 NFL Draft, Tampa Bay elects to draft East Illinois Quarterback Tony Romo in the first round to sit and learn behind veteran Brad Johnson. Oh what could have been…
