Re: Six-time Pro Bowler Alstott retires after 12 seasons
 

[quote=dmek25;412608]and the people that say Alstott was over rated make me laugh. he was basically Riggins of now-a-days. i would have loved to have had him in his prime. if he played for the skins, some would be touting him for the hall.[/quote]OVERRATED. Pro Bowl appearances are not a great measure of a players effectiveness. Mike Alstott couldn't hold a candle to John Riggins. The Diesel was the state champion sprinter once upon a time. Alstott NEVER had the speed that Riggins could flash after battering opposing defenders all game. I won't bore you with stats but if you compare Alstott's to Riggins's, he wasn't even in the same league.
