He certainly had a pro-personnel aspect that gave him an advantage
over other receivers--with his health and had a good percentage of
TDs per catch
my memory is he dropped passes at a higher rate than others
he did get 3 votes for All_Decade, enough to make the 2nd team
but I just think he took a slot from Cliff Branch---and created
more of a backlog
guys who come out of nowhere to make that team seem so odd
Hill, HC, JC, ES to name four---just think of 4 guys with more "honors"
that could have cleared the backlog
instead my understanding is that Belichick kind of steered some of
those discussions, though cannot say on those 4 specifically, just that
he had the gravitas on that committee (and the NFl 100 stuff)
It isn't that someone is *awful* per se but that a Little or LeBeau
those guys take the slots of six guys who, in general, whoever
those six are, who have more traditional "cases"
just odd--just venting
