Amen.
I admire Tiger's abilities. He would certainly have been in the mix no matter what era he played. And just as I think Tiger's records would be different if he had to play against the likes of Watson, Palmer, Player, Trevino, I also have to admit that Jack's record of 18 majors would be different had Tiger been playing against him.
Tiger also brings a new level of conditioning to the game that wasn't there until the final decade of Jack's era. A flexability guru worked with Jack those final years, loosening up his back and legs... if he'd had that kind of training sooner...
