Let me know when Crosby leads the league in points 5 times and has 149 points in a season.
Crosby came into the league as a generational talent. Jagr.....NOT SO MUCH.
Without injuries going back to 2000/01 Crosby is a 100+ point player every year for over a decade in a much more skilled and growing talent league.
Crosby without injury probably already has 5 of those himself. That was without a Lemieux, Francis, Recchi, Stevens, Tocchet and more for the first 7 years of his career.
Jagr wasn't a trend setter, he was a trend follower. It took Mario to come out of retirement to salvage his Art Ross in 2000/01 where he could have easily lost considering they were neck and neck (He and Sakic) where it looked like Sakic was going to take it while Jagr was starting to plunge and looked miserable.
No Mario, no Art Ross.
As a captain he did't bring the team anywhere close to what Sid has.
I'm sorry, but you overlook what Jagr had to work with for most of his tenure here.
I put him a clear notch below who I'd consider generational.
It's a watered down theme anymore.
