They did not throw as much because it was harder to throw it a lot back then.

I recall hearing an interview with Mel Blount (I think) and he was saying how prior to the new (at the time of the interview) PI rules, the strategy was to knock a WR so far off his route that the QB had to look to see where he was before he threw the ball.  The fact that a timing route is even possible in today's NFL is a testament to how things have changed.
