have you noticed that in the NFL all the good athletes have unique or strong names while the busts have the common or weak name. examples of stars
* ladainian Tomlinson
*Brian Urlacher
*Devin Hester
* Peyton Manning
*Antonio gates

Examples of Busts
* Ryan Leaf
*Alex Smith
*David Carr
* Joey Harrington
* Phillip Rivers

I know this sounds really weird but look at it, do u agree?

What about Tom Brady?

I think I just killed your theory.

umm... i dont think rivers was a bust.
he's not that bad.

thats true. i never thought of it like that. but maybe they change their names like whoppi goldburg cuz there so famous.

How about Chad Johnson.
that is as average as ever, and he is prolific, your theory has holes.

Jack Lambert, Lawrence Taylor, Bo Jackson, Jim Brown were ALL better than these players... so my advice to yous is: put down the bong, dude....

I agree with you sorta, throughout my life I have always heard of someone having a good football name, for example like Urlacher. I bet at some time while he was in high school some said he had a great football name. But that's not to say that people with everyday common names dont rule the record books. Good question.

You forgot an oldie "Butkus" classic football name.

Yeah. Let's put them in the HOF because they have a "Unique" name.
Their name has nothing to do with how they perform on the field.
Idiot
Oranthal James Simpson is innocent too

Tom Brady.... Ben Watson... Drew Bledsoe... Doug Flutie ... Emmitt Smith ... Jerry Rice ... Richard Seymour ... Rodney Harrison .. Ted Johnson ...

all are quite ordinary names, and exceptional players... I guess that busts your theory.
