That being said they don't work as hard, aren't scrutinized as much, nor had to worry about being called out for not being there in April.

I'll say this, until, the current team actually does something they'll never hold a candle to the old timers. In other words put up or shut up. You don't like it tape it on the wall before every game this yr.
In regards to your post tryfuhl, I'd take the old geesers in their primes before I'd take any of the current guys. I'll agree the current players are healthier since they seem to know they need to stay in shape year around so they don't have to work twice as hard in the camp. But back then there were little rules protecting the players as there are now, helmets were not as good, face masks had one bar or two and a lot of them got broken noses while playing. I think they were simply tougher back then playing through all types of injuries. They also didn't have Gatorade to replenish their body fluids during a game or at half time, water and IV's were used.
