Everyone seems to have forgotten in all this that when Rice played the rules allowing DB's more liberties to grab, hold and rough up receivers and not be penalized. It's much easier to put up passing and receiving numbers in todays game as a result. This is why we see guys passing for 4000 yards who have no business doing so and guys catching 100 balls who would not have been able to do so under the previous rules. Rule changes have inflated the stats of today's QB's and receivers. Clear advantage to Rice here. Despite this Randy still has to put up another 10 great years and be a key player in several championships to match Rice's accomplishments. It's safe to say Rice's place as GOAT is not in jeopardy for a long time.
