Personally, I remember it all so very well how Boselli ate up our salary cap while Jimmy and Keenan quietly accepted FAR less salary than what they were worth.

I'm with you regarding Jimmy and Keenan, but I disagree that Boselli failed to make a great impact on the game. It would have been easier for him to get in if he played a few more years, however, he played just as long as Otto Graham who made it so there is precedent there. But beyond that, Tony had a tremendous impact on the game going up against some of the greatest DEs the game has ever known and shutting them down. During his time with the Jaguars, most everyone had Tony pegged as the best OL in the game, and he was talked about as a textbook example of how a LT should play.

I'd argue that his sheer impact on the game far outweighed Jimmy's and Keenan's impact while on the Jaguars. Keenan had more of an impact after leaving the team. Jimmy's claim to fame was probably his perfection of the tippy-toe sideline pass, however, he really should have had way more TDs. He doesn't have much compared to his yardage production because he looked for the sideline after the catch instead of the end zone. Both were fine WRs, but there are plenty of those. There aren't plenty of big guys anywhere near as good as Tony Boselli.
