total myth, Moyer won his 20 th game tonight at age 40, and Testaverde was the most impressive qb yesterday. Guys are forced to out because of incorrect old school thinking.
rickey henderson is your prime example he's 45 and looking to come back yet again for another season next year if somebody signs him just when you think this guys washed up he still comes back swingging
Guys are 'forced out' because they can't perform... period. If they can do the job they are allowed to compete. The NFL is a young man's game with the exception of some genetic freaks like Darryl Green and Jerry Rice. Hard work will slow the aging process down but it won't stop it.
41 yrs is not too old either, Doug will still run a 4.53 40 when he is 47, he plays lacrosse at UCSD and basketball with Coach Fishers team, also plays in a mens soccer leauge and is working on his swimming so he can be good in a triatholon.
