Which mechs best fit the playing style and attitude of NFL teams?
For example, the 49ers of the 80's had Montana and Young with high pass percentages so I would equate them with Catapults and Archers. The tough Bears defense would be symbolized by the lumbering Atlas.
Any ideas? Hate the idea? Am I stretching my imagination too far?

With Total Warfare rules the Dart is a formidable infantry killer

And modifications with medium lasers (4S, 6S) can be useful elsewhere as well...

Then I guess that would make Trent Green a Rifleman, One swift hit and he's down for the count.
And Peyton Manning as a Gunslinger...

Well, Jerome Bettis is obviously an Atlas. Slow, but big enough to hurt you if it doesn't have to go far.
And both are in retirement too

My Christmas present will come next weekend when they hand the Patriots their only loss of the season.

THAT would be an upset worthy of historical note, wouldn't it? kind of like a lance of Locusts beating a lance of Atlases

It can be done. If the Atlas lance happens to be powered down and in a repair bay.
