Take a good look at this data: Biletnikoff 5.423 76/14 (total TDs over a 14 year career) Wells 8.4 42/5 (total TDs over a 5 year career) The data shows that Wells’ rate of touchdowns over a shorter career is more intense. In fact, if you compare Wells to Biletnikoff and calculate the rate of Wells’ successful completions in four years with Oakland, it is .5526 (42/76). Theoretically, we can conjecture that if Wells had continued with Oakland he would have had 84 touchdowns in 10 years, thereby exceeding Biletnikoff’s 76 touchdowns in 14 years. Logical thinking will force an analyst to consider that a quarterback cannot be a successful quarterback unless the ball he throws lands in the hands of a receiver for completion; otherwise, NO TOUCHDOWNS. Therefore, the historical 34 touchdown passes in 1969 are directly correlated to the successful completions by Biletnikoff and Wells. So, the arm of the hand of the quarterback is connected to the hand on the arm of the wide receiver who completes the passes.

1969
Wells: 14/34 = .4117
Biletnikoff 12/34 = .3529

I was there went he got busted in Memorial Park. Last time I saw him he was working for his Atty John O'Quinn. (1995?) Also, Where is Warren Wells. I once had to fight him as an inmate in Texas Dept. of Corr. strip him, throw him in solitary and put him on suicide watch. I have no idea where he is or is he still alive. He was mentally fried probably crack cocaine. (1979?) Can you find out about Dexter Manley and how he is doing. I was there went he got busted in Memorial Park.
