Do You Personally Take NFL Records Seriously That's Broken In This 17 Game Schedule?

The NFL rookie receiving record belongs to Bill Groman, who set the mark in 1960 with the Houston Oilers. The undrafted wideout did so in 14 games, logging 1,473 yards on 72 catches and 12 touchdowns.

nope

Before the whole "asterisk" thing implied cheating/being illegitimate it was literally used for contexts like this tho

Anybody else here and have a sports almanac back in the day? You look at a records table, its full of asterisks for context about things like season length, leagues merging and expending etc

Nfl records aren't as revered as, say, mlb counting records.


Here's my question. Would you consider the record broken in 16 games seriously when Groman did it when a season only had 14 games?
The NFL only has had 16 game schedule since 1978

With the rule changes and extra game any pass related stats in this era are whatever


Interestingly there's only 6 RB's over 1,000 yds rushing now, but like 10 more that could make it this week

We should give OL more credit for not giving up sacks/not getting flagged for holding in this era of the NFL.

far more passing downs, and a whole extra game?

 

[Rekkapryde]

No for me

Running backs still can’t even sniff OJs record lol.

NFL records always been all over the place because they had 12 games then 14 and then 16 and now 17. Per game averages would tell more of a story but even then there's always been significant rule changes that have helped the offenses as well.

17 game schedule is too new for any of the records to be respected. It’ll take another 10 years or so before people forgot about the 16 game season

"Do you seriously consider any records broken with a 16 game schedule impressive?" ~ some dude in 1978

If you don’t break the record in 16 games or less, I don’t care.
