Does that make him better than Priest or JC? IMO, no.

Well, it's not only that, although that is certainly the biggest factor. I mean, dude, we were legit sending three linemen to the pro bowl every season and nearly a fourth with Weigmann being on the cusp. Have we had a single Pro Bowl offensive lineman in the entire 8 years that JC's been here?
You also have to factor in other surrounding talent like QB and WR, TE. Priest had, by far, a shit ton more help than Jamaal has.
Take 2013 or 2010 JC and put him on that 2003 squad and what do you think his stats would look like?
