Re: Generational thing
I also think that Gibbs had a number of different teams in 1.0 as well. The offense in 1983 scored 531 points - 33.2 a game. 1991 scored fewer (only 30.3 per game) points, but seemed to be as explosive as its 1983 counterpart. Not every year was that dynamic, but the teams were, by and large, able to score with regularity.
For whatever reason, the bar on Gibbs was set lower this time, as though he ground out his victories in his first stint. The number for individuals weren't gaudy, but those teams scored a ton.
