Whether Starr is overrated or underrated, or where he ranks period, is subjective and wasn't really where I was going.John Maxymuk wrote:
I think this goes back to your point that a running game can still be effective even if the average gain is substandard for the league. I think there is some truth to that, but when you then say "consistently moving the first down chains on the ground," you are exaggerating how effective that running game is. It would be an interesting to see how well the Pack ran the ball on first down during the threepeat. I would think not so well making Starr's passing effectiveness more crucial.
Actually, i like Bernard's point that Starr is in the mix amongst the best and Matt's point that we should probably be discussing a whole lot more than a top 4.
Just pointing out how, asked to carry less of the load, he had a greater opportunity for success than some others. An opportunity he made the most of, to his credit.
