Having a debate right now. Figured I'd come to a knowledgable football board and put it up for discussion.
When you look at the two aforementioned players, all things being equal and FANTASY FOOTBALL aside (their roles and level of opportunity are far different), lay out the plusses and minuses of each player.
If Norwood were on the Saints, how would his production be different? If Bush were on the Falcons, how would his production be different? Are Norwood's rushing stats impressive because he's played on solid run teams and for one season with a QB that presented a unique rushing threat? Are Bush's receiving stats the function of him playing in a pass happy offense with an absolute assassin at QB? Could Norwood be as prolific on a per touch basis is he was given the workload of Bush? Would Bush be better served by having his workload lessened in order to see his per touch production increase?
Some easy access stats over their careers are below.
