People from the past would absolutely freak out at the statistics in today’s day and age of football. Our time is structured so much differently than the past. Rules protect the quarterbacks in different ways which lead to bigger numbers, heck there are even more games which provide more opportunities for numbers to increase.
This is why it was so satisfying to see CeeDee Lamb set the Dallas Cowboys single-season receiving record last year in the team’s 16th game. There is no asterisk or qualifier or anything that could exist to offer any kind of pushback on what was a remarkable campaign.
