pretty comparable numbers in two different era's.....this year top passing offense had 5000+ yards, in 1992, top passing offense had 4000 yards. that's 25% difference. in fact 9 teams this year had more passing yards than the top team in 1992.Harper in 92: 35 catches 562 yards 4 TD
Noah Brown this year: 43 catches 555 yards 3 TD
Novacek in 92: 68, 630, 6 TD
Schultz in 2022: 57, 577, 5 TD
Pretty comparable #s all the way around from the #2 wr and TE spot
Honestly I do think novacek was underappreciated and probably a better TE than Schultz.
I think Harper was overrated by virtue of the fact the cowboys were a top team and also he benefitted from playing with a guy like Aikman who could fit the ball into windows that few people can. Tampa Bay probably agrees. They picked him up with the intent of making him a #1 wr and he pretty much disappeared. After leaving Dallas Harper had 3 touchdown receptions the rest of his entire career. Total. 3
That was Aikmans #2 in 1992. A guy who scored 3 TD total after leaving Dallas. Let that sink in. Troy elevated those around him. He's underappreciated IMHO
those numbers for brown tell me how much he sucked. and how much schultz sucked. in this day and age,
