That's part of the bar i was speaking about. As stats increase yearly, he's lagging behind.
Raiders RB's have 64 catches, which is 34% of Carr's completions.
Panthers RB's have 45 catches, which is 28.4% of Cam's completions.
Bengals RB's have 38 catches, which is 20.5% of Dalton's completions.
Easy completions = higher completion %.
The Raiders are targeting RB's way more due to Gruden's system.
The Panthers are targeting RB's more thanks to McCaffrey.
Hence their completion percentages going up. It isn't about stats increasing every year, at least not in this instance.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
