As a Bears fan, can I root for Jefferson while still wanting the Vikings, and Cousins specifically, to lose?

Why not? As a Vikings fan I rooted for the '85 Bears. And never again since.

Sweetness needed a ring. I’m so glad he got one. Although the Fridge getting that goal line carry over Payton was weird.

Nah - be a fan of your team first, and a fan of football next. It’s fun to watch greatness and see records broken; cheer for that shit! It’s only fun if players can succeed quickly, teams can do the impossible, underdogs can win, on “any given Sunday”. Otherwise what are we watching for?

Comparing raw yardage amassed during a 17 game season to a record set during a 16 game season is unfair. Calvin Johnson averaged 122 yards per game. Justin Jefferson is below that mark.

Then let’s not talk about Calvin Johnson, when Charlie Hennigan averaged 125.

Agreed. The chart is broken in multiple ways.

The chart literally covers your concerns on the bottom. On the top it covers those who prefer volume. I made it for both groups. However, although I’m a per-game guy, the NFL recognizes volume records regardless of games played. This is tailored more for the official record because that is what matters, that’s what gets people in the Hall of Fame and remembered historically. There’s nothing in your argument I didn’t account for here.
You just got caught being inconsistent in your logic so you attack the chart. Just accept the L and move on, because you’re not bringing anything to light I didn’t account for. And your comment on Johnson was il-informed as he wouldn’t meet your criteria either.

Attack? Wow. I was only pointing out the discrepancy between a 17 game and 16 game record. You're reading way too much into my words.

>The chart is broken in multiple ways.
Yes that’s an unfair attack of the chart particular because it literally addresses the very concern you were critical of in the first place. Perhaps, it would be warranted if it didn’t, but it did.

I apologize if I hurt your feelings. It was not my intent. I'll be more mindful of that in the future.
