Tony Dorsett more career fumbles than TD's?

[edjr 6,229]

90 Fumbles, 77 TD's

 

over 1325 yards once? over 10 td's twice with a high of 12? avg 100 yards a game one season in his career?

 

he wasn't even that good, why doesn't he just shut the fock up? seriously.

He did bang Nicole Simpson a couple times.

 

Well, at least before O.J. made her a Pez dispenser.

Dorsett is in the HOF. I saw that one soccer goal from you on Youtube and I have seen you play golf. I have concerns as to whether you can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Voted in the top 10 cowboys of all time.

 

 

Not easy to be in that group.

I remember him being just Ok on the original Tecmo Bowl. (the one with 4 plays only). I think he was on denver by then. He was no Bo Jackson.

Here you go ed

 

Dorsett is in the HOF, in the Cowboy's Ring of Honor (ours means something and is hard to get into and original unlike the copy ROH in other teams), and he is a Superbowl champion.

 

he was the 1976 Heisman Trophy Winner

 

Might want to show some respect for a HOFer with a Ring.

It shows that Dorsett dominated College Football as well as the NFL.

 

The losers you listed dominated College but sucked in the NFL.

Uh, just for record purposes, he had 90 TDs and 90 fumbles. And I believe that's total fumbles, not necessarily fumbles lost.

The fumble stat is clear as mud. Those appear to be total fumbles recovered, including his own. Most people today focus on fumbles lost and not recovered.

 

He had 13 receiving TD's. I think that Ed is talking about rushing TD's, so that it makes his argument better. With a crappy argument, that ain't easy, so you have to give him some latitude.

I never said fumbles lost, I said fumbles, fumbles lost is total luck.

 

i was talking about rushing td's, either way, 90 fumbles and 90 tds? terrible

This just in......Walter Payton was almost as bad as Dorsett. 110 TD's and 86 fumbles. God how did these losers ever keep a job?

[Joey Gladstone 33]

Focking h0m0 with the uppity pronunciation of his last name. Im glad he didn't want to play in Seattle.

 

He belonged in Texas with all the steers and queers.

Damn he was so bad he holds the record for the longest run from the line of scrimmage......99 yards ...will never be broken and is still even today what top 5-6 all time rushing yards? he really did suck

[SaintsInDome2006 211]

Seattle was originally the team with the draft rights to Dorsett.

 

And they traded it away for a bag of donuts, some guard named Steve August.

 

Always wondered how he would have turned out with those expansion Hawks, likely not the same.

 

And then there was the time he told everyone to pronounce his name differently, more frenchified.... Dor SETT.

 

Yeah.

Winning the heisman really gives you credibility to speak.

You see when Dorsett won the Heisman it was a legit award. You mentioned the winners of the past, but for some reason left some out?! You quit right at Barry Sanders and Tim Brown (HOF and soon to be) He won in 76 right before Earl Campbell (HOF) then Sims and George Rogers won (both Rookie of the Year) then a guy named Marcus Allen won (HOF). In 1982 Hershel Walker won, he never lived up to his potential, but he was pretty good. Bo Jackson was soon after. Other winners: Roger Staubach, OJ Simpson, Paul Hornung.....

 

Winning the Heisman doesn't mean you will be a great pro (Pat Sullivan), but it certainly wasn't a joke back then like it is now. Now it's simply a popularity contest.

 

As for the fumbles:

 

Walter Payton: 86 fumbles in 190 games = .452 Fumbles per game

Emmitt Smith: 61 fumbles in 206 games = .296 fpg

Barry Sanders: 41 fumbles in 153 games = .267 fpg

Jim Brown: 57 fumbles in 118 games = .438 fpg

Tony Dorsett: 90 fumbles in 173 games = .520 fpg

 

Comparing Dorsett's fumbles to other greats, yep, he sucked at holding the ball. Never realized his hands were that slippery!!

Stephen Davis had 69 career TD's and only 24 fumbles. Never bench Stephen Davis. Ever.

I like how you're trying to make this about Tony Dorsett, when it has nothing to do with him. It has to do with the fact that Tony Romo isn't as good as he was made out to be.

 

But while we're relying on diversionary tactics, are you gonna start saying Emmitt Smith isn't credible?

[GhostofMeanMachine99 1]

Difference between Dorsett's fumbles and Romo's fumbles is that no one remember's TD's fumbles because his teams won.

 

Even as an Eagle fan and Dallas hater I can automatically admit Dorsett was a great back (high school, college, and pro).
