A must-watch video on Jim Zorn

Also, as for his stats, it was a MUCH different game in the late 70's and early 80's. There is a reason WR's didn't post 100 catch, 1000 yard years at that time. For some of his career mugging WR's was legal and, even when it wasn't, it was called very differently. And the roughing the passer rules? Please - if the QB was still twitching after being hit, it was legal. Plus, the high percentage passing game (i.e. the Bill Walsh offense) didn't come in until later in his career. Throw in the crappy team he played for and his accomplishments are actually pretty amazing.

Not saying the guy would have been a HOF'er somewhere else, just that, perhaps, judging his stats under todays analysis is misplaced.
