Steelers passing up on Dan Marino. 
Patriots not drafting Tom Brady. 
Baltimore convincing John Elway to stay. 
Bo Jackson's career not being cut short. 
Eli Manning playing for the Chargers. 
Philip Rivers playing for the Giants.

Here's another one. To bring it back locally. Too lazy to look it up, but, I recall reading way back in elementary school about the New Orleans Saints possibly relocating to us in Jacksonville back in the 1980's? That would have been interesting. Or, I thought at some point we were going to be in the NFC instead of the AFC.

Saban signing Drew Brees in Miami would be another interesting one. Would have greatly altered Miami, New Orleans, and Alabama’s timelines.

That's a good one. That's a triple threat for sure. Think he ended up with Culpepper in Miami. I don't think he was the same after his knee injury. Carson Palmer is another guy I think about. I wonder if he would have turned out better had it not been for that ACL injury. It plagued him throughout his career and caught up to him twice. He was a decent QB in the NFL despite all of that. Same for Andrew Luck. Had it not been for the injuries he would still be playing at 33 and making our lives difficult in the AFC South. RGIII also comes to mind. Was never the same after his knee injury.
