Kinda ruins similar discussions. IMO, size and speed should be measured against the era, not over eras. For example, the Bengals OLine was quite large in 1988 so their size should not be a negative.
After all, no one claiming Barry Sanders wasn't an NFL caliber RB because he'd be too small and too slow to play the position in 2015. The reality is, if he played in 2015, he'd likely weigh more than 203 lbs.
