Hahaha. What I meant was he played at a time when guards were more crucial to the offense. Lots of power runs, Iso’s, and pulling. Less pass blocking.
Now Larry Allen was a freak who you could insert at any time in NFL history and he’s be the most dominant player on the field.
That said, I saw Allen play. Hannah was before my time so I’m just going on old film and what I know of that era. Maybe Hannah was more special than I’m aware.
I was 5 when Hannah retired.
I also might have a bias in believing the Pars sucked ass pre-Bledsoe/Brady because I became a fan in 1997 and could be attaching “good player on a garbage team” fallacy to Hannah’s career.
