If you want to use that argument I can also say that defensive schemes are also designed today stop passing rather than trying to stop the run the majority of the time like it was back then. Having a great QB/WR back then was rare so more teams were more unprepared for it unlike today when teams are prepared for it. Defensive backs on average are also better as they've had to get better with teams getting better against the pass.
I know, but I'm saying it's not like he had 30 or something more targets than Rice. I think 10 targets is a fair differential, I know 10 targets could easily get Rice an extra 100 yards, but yeah, my point remains.
That UDFKness will ware off once he comes around. Gotta do it right when that happens.
BACK ON TOPIC, today is probably the most interesting week 17 in years even though the whole AFC is locked up. Just so many possible seeding changes, it's going to be fun as hell.
5 and 6 are locked, but Colts are playing all their guys as we're young and just need the experience going into the playoffs I guess with a game like this and Bengals said they're playing their guys too. Ravens can move up I believe. Maybe I'm wrong.
