It throws off all of the yearly stats off. Being a thousand yard rusher or receiver for instance, won’t mean the same thing. And impactful on career totals as well. Granted stats are always changing and have to be viewed in their given time anyway. We will continue to see passing records be shattered in college and pro.

Can’t wait until my jackass hypothetical grandson comes in one day saying Jerry Rice was a scrub and couldn’t compete in the league in 2071

Teams don’t rush the ball as much plus most teams typically have “RB by committee”

...and I see D Henry went off last year.

Happened when they changed all the defensive rules over the last 15 years or so.
