So much also depends on rule changes. Teams that dominated with defense in different sports would have trouble with the more open modern rules. And more open modern offenses would have trouble with the more physical defense allowed back then.
I think that Night Train Lane was the best cornerback to every play in the NFL. But if he played today, he'd be banned for life after the first preseason game.
And a team like the Bad Boy Pistons would have to change so fundamentally, I don't know what they would do.
On the other side of the coin, if you took a Sean Payton or Mike Martz offense back to when you could mug WRs all the way down the field, how would that even work?
