I would say in 98 the QB play plus the w/r's were better then 2012.. Can we then say they both sucked in 2012 and 1998?? Or are you too much of a Martinette to agree??
Martin also didn't have stone hands and caught more than double the passes Greene caught last year (43 for Martin, 19 for Greene).

I would also argue that for RBs, durability is a skill. In Martin's 10 year streak of 1,000+ yards, he missed a grand total of 4 games. Explosive he was not; durable, reliable, and well-rounded he was. Greene is merely a between the tackles plodder whose best days are behind him despite the fact he's only 27.
