Agreed, for perspective, those impatient folks would have run the following stars out of town:
OJ Simpson failed to gain more than 750 yards in his first 3 seasons, yet ran for 2000 in the next season- in 14 games (vs today’s 16)
Troy Aikman in his first 3 seasons threw for 31 TDS vs 46 INTS.
Steve Young had 11 TDS and 21 INTS in his first 2 seasons.
A little closer to home, check out:
Eric Moulds averaged 25 catches and 1 TD in his first 2 years.
Bruce Smith had 6.5 sacks his first year.
