and for Maloney, who I would probably call a pass first player

2016 3.9
2017 3.4
2018 3.8
So in summary, Austin was a **** defender.
So the ONLY year Austin played finals football with the Raiders was the year he passed the most in comparison to running? Interesting
Sure puts the narrative to bed that in the last few years he started to pass more and that affected his game, doesn’t it. If anything the exact opposite is true, the last two seasons he regressed to his former self, and the team failed to make the finals. But what would I know, I lack a basic understanding of the game apparently
Campo was extraordinary when in form, but that run of form that Hayne had was absolutely unbelievable. Campo regularly bear defenders but Hayne was beating whole teams.

He did definitely increase his passing from 2015 to 2016 but never to the point he was "pass first" compared to the average 5/8th. So you're probably both kinda right.
