I don’t believe he would dominate in any era.
I’ve been watching this game my entire life. Closely. Been in the mix, on the sideline, in the meeting rooms etc.
And I’m not an era hater. It is what it is, if you played any era you either benefited from something others did not, or you had shackles that others did not. Life is life.
I was just telling a homeboy that I was at a Rams game (sideline) and the WRs and DBs looked like kids to me. I had to go google these guys lol. And I respect they are dominate football players that’s how they made an NFL team, but for 25 years I’ve seen guys look like mutants (even skill positions) and now they look like HS players…
And the truth is, they changed the defense so much (particuarly pass defense and linebacker play) that teams lean towards really small, speedy guys. DBs can’t put hands on, and Linebackers can’t bump them off routes or hit between hashes, which was football for 40 years until recently.
Tyreek in any other era is a beast at slot that you couldn’t get production from outside the hashes. But now, since you can’t touch him, he’s free to unleash hell in a way a Santana Moss was not. (No knock on him, he’s a great football player)
I have a coach friend that always says this:
“Man…I always wonder what the record book would look like if we weren’t allowed to touch Randy Moss
“
So salute to what this kid is doing, I freaking love to see it, but I ain’t finna disrespect anybody era outside of pre70s lmao (I ran into Franco Harris and this MF look like damn Derrick Henry and he was like 70)
