Talk:Don Hutson

Comment
from the main page ,"Hutson is still often considered the greatest wide receiver ever, above even Jerry Rice." is clearly an opinion and not provable as general consensus. It should be stricken.

Re-wording sounds like a better idea. Buc 15:56, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Better yet, why not "the greatest rceiver of his era and one of the greatest wide receivers ever?" --Chancemichaels 20:55, 29 October 2006 (UTC)Chancemichaels

Image
Anybody know why the previous image was deleted? I believe that a good fair-use argument was made for it, unlike the current one which is by Vernon Biever (although he is not credited on the image page) and still under copyright. The copyright claim on the new image is suspect, to say the least (sports poster?). --Chancemichaels 02:54, 5 March 2007 (UTC)Chancemichaels

Explain to me what this even means

 * Some agree that Hutson could have been one of the best wide receivers ever if he had played in the modern era.

Some agree that getting kicked in the balls is pleasurable. I've seen videos of it. That phrase means nothing. But if you're going to us it here, give some citation for it so it means more than "I think". "Although many consider Jerry Rice as the best receiver ever some critics believe Hutson could have been as good as Rice if he'd played in the same era." is nearly as bad, but it belongs in context at least.--Insomniac By Choice 11:13, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Hutson and Hinkle
Supposedly, Clarke Hinkle kicked the field goals and Hutson kicked the extra points. Cake (talk) 20:12, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Hinkle was 15/31 in extra points in his career. Strange stuff. He'd be more accurate with today's extra point distance. And Hutson led the league with 3 field goals made in 1943. Perhaps the war had taken all the good kickers. Lizard  (talk) 20:44, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
