[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 528084"] I would remind you that in Hutson's time there was no pass interference and the QBs were tossing what amounted to a slightly modified rugby ball. Hutson was so far above his peers as to be staggering. He redefined a position and went a long way toward redefining offensive football; he shone light on what could be achieved in the passing game. Hutson would light it up in today's game, I can assure you. He'd be the fastest guy on just about any field he walked on, just to start, and he was one tough SOB, playing two-way at safety. If his catching technique in those clips looks crude and old-timey, I suggest you get yourself a rugby ball and play a little pitch and catch...catching that ball with thumbs down and hands away from the body is not recommended. Regardless, if you're going to dispense with Hudson as a quaint antiquity, you might as well junk guys like Jim Thorpe, Red Grange, Jesse Owens. That would be a failure to appreciate history. If anybody's wondering, that's not a good thing. [/QUOTE]
