[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 471964"] It's difficult comparing stats across eras, though Hutson's still stand up, especially if you break them down on a per-game-played basis. And when you measure him against his peers, the numbers are pretty staggering. He holds the following NFL records: Most seasons leading league in pass receptions (8) Most seasons leading league in pass receiving yards gained (7) Most seasons leading league in pass receiving touchdowns (9) Most seasons leading league in scoring (5) He was also a 2-time league MVP. Hutson played in the two-way era and was considered an outstanding safety. He was also the place kicker for several seasons. But the reason Hutson will be on the NFL's 100 year anniversary team is the way he redefined his position and how the game is played. Hutson is widely attributed with inventing many of the modern pass routes you see today at a time when the game was three-yards-and-a-cloud-of dust. Hutson did for the WR position what Lawrence Taylor did for the OLB position, and then some, with his impact rippling though the history of the game to the current day. In the final analysis, Driver will be considered an outstanding player but not quite NFL HOF worthy. His legacy will be considered to be something less than a guy like Stanley "Steamer" Morgan, or among current players roughly on a par with Anquan Boldin. He'll certainly be in the Packer HOF; but he won't be in the Ring. There is really no comparison at all between Hutson and Driver. Hutson is a legend of the game. [/QUOTE]
