<< Neal Anderson became the primary ballcarier during Payton's last season (the 1987 strike-shortened season) with the Bears. Also, the Bears were not just bad during most of Payton's time, they were horrible. Walter only played on 2 winning teams prior to the 1985 Super Bowl, so don't fault him for having poor teammates unless he was doubling as the Bear's GM.

How is that for proof of quality at O-Line? >>
I honestly don't know what to make of that "proof of quality". Since it seems that pro-bowls are as much about team winning percentage as anything.
