did they actually shadow how great older reciever were?
Yes another one of my "make you think" questions. I am not sure when they started such DB-WR contact rules, but I know that many old famous defenders -- such as my favorite Dick "Night Train" Lane - - would likely not have fared as easily if they could not play as physically as they did.
However would old reciever be EVEN better had they played under the rules of today that did not allow them to be touched after 5 yards (and other more specific ones that may exist)? And if so, how much better (would names who we may have rated as B+ or A- guys become up there with the likes of Tim Brown, Chris Carter, James Lofton, and dare I say.....Jerry Rice?
