Being it was 1952 and a completely different game than it was in 1980 who knows, he did have 10 in his 3rd season so it would appear they weren't to concerned with throwing it to his side.
You're mixing arguments. Barney was DROY in 67 which was a big year for passing. Namath threw for > 4000. Hayes' rookie season was Barney's last.
