As the Super Bowl approaches with the Bengals playing, I think back to 82 when my hero dropped a kickoff near the end of the first half that lead to a 20-0 lead for San Francisco going into the intermission.  This led to further pain later when fellow OSU alum Pete Johnson's fourth and short was stopped before it started.

It's been said that Archie went to the wrong type of team since they were pass-happy with Ken Anderson being so good and talented wide receivers.  Always amazing to me that Archie never had a season with more than 700 yards. 

In looking at the teams from 1976-1982, what NFL team do you think would have been the best place for Archie to find greater personal success?
