What does 4000 yards passing mean?

[Q_the_man]

Nothing! Why?

People remember dang near every QB in the league is throwing for 4000, heck Matthew Stafford threw for 5000 and did not make probowl, so that right their tells me yards mean nothing anymore.... How the heck can a QB throw for 5g and not make the probow?

By my stats and calculation Stafford is better than Romo... Romo is good, honestly I'll look to trade him and draft a future starter in the 1st round.

For real 3 rookie QB's in the playoffs. All three of their teams had the worst, 2nd and 4th worst records last year.

While I'm ranting get rid of the coach, he can not coach.

I like Romo, but to many negatives, and those are mainly last second snaps and not being able to read the defense unless he scrambles and find time.

It is a different brand of football and a different era of football. And no, it isn't because QB's are better.

Just watch some of Aikman's games from the 90's. They would have rung up 3 to 10 roughing the passer penalties in EVERY one of those games. That guy was hit late (by today's standards) over and over again.

The rules are constructed for the passing offenses you see today.

4,000 is still a good number, but stats are stats, and they don't always tell the whole story.

He can do it by throwing for 5,000 yards with a 79.8 rating.

QB passing yards might be the most overrated stat in football now. It won't surprise me to see a team with three 1,000 yard receivers in next 5 years. The league wanted this and the fans seem to like it. It certainly has caused me to adjust my fantasy draft approach. Two stats I look at for QB is turnover ratio and accuracy. Accuracy means ball control and turnovers (or lack of) means good field position. Pure passing yards could just mean your on bad team and playing catch-up due to turnovers from offense team or sieve on defensive side.

Exactly!

But we have no offensive identity, we have no bread or butter play, shoot just watching the game I have no idea what we gonna do run or pass, well I know we passing the ball out of shotgun and running the ball with Romo under the center.

I love my Cowboys and take alot of grief at work from Raider fans, Eagle fans, Giant fans even Jaquar fans talk crap about the Cowboys. Every team can lose but Cowboys loses are like 2 loses seriously, everyone hates the Cowboys, period. Therefore we must win and not just make the playoffs but win it all.....

Who cares, he threw for more yards and had a lower completion % but 5000 is 5000, Stafford throw for about 6 or 7 more tds and his rating right up their with Romo. Bottom line Stafford is 24 Romo 32 Who would u take....

No, it's right down there at 22nd, between Ponder and Foles.
