On top of being a big time threat as a receiver who could stretch defenses deep, he was also maybe the best blocking TE in the league. It was like having an extra tackle in the game, and he was a big reason why we had such a dominant running game
Sorry, but McGee put up as good numbers per season, with a significantly-shittier team and he was just as good a blocker as Holman.
Love how you old-timers get so curmudgeony when a younger guy from outside the country challenges them.
McGee on the 80s teams is a 700+ yard a year TE, in addition to being a superb blocker.

So please, do tell how he was, "worse?"
It's like everyone has blacked out the 90s just because of the results (outside of Dillon); we had a bunch of really good players, regardless about how people feel about them.
