Let's not confuse piling up stats in today's Madden-version, fantasy football, offense-first NFL as a comparison to QBs or any other position of yesteryear. Today, there are more than a dozen wide receivers and tight ends who easily eclipse the number of yards and receptions than Drew Pearson's best season. Roger Staubach averaged 173 yards passing per regular season game during his career - Aikman averaged 200 yards. Roger threw a total of 153 TDs in his 11 year career which averages out to about 14 TDs per season. By today's standards, Roger and likely Troy wouldn't start for most teams - they would be considered "bus drivers." However, Roger, Troy, and Drew all are all in the Hall of Fame, Ring of Honor, and SB champions.
Spot on!

Comparing player stats from different eras is ridiculous. Player stats should on be compared to peers if their own era. A player ranking 1st in a stat in his era is equal to a player ranking 1st in a different era. The actual stats may be significantly different, but the accomplishment is the same. All stats should be normalized to account for differences between eras.
 

Dak Prescott is poised to break several Dallas Cowboys franchise passing records in 2025​


Who started this thread? What was the thread about? You are bi-polar. Of course I mentioned Radio because you made the post!

The hell is wrong with you?
Doh! I thought this conversation was in another thread. My bad. lol
 
Once again, those other teams chose not to. Still proves they could have if they wanted to since several other teams did.
It proves nothing. You have no no way to prove what you are saying, and if you think you do, then you don’t know how to conduct proper research.
 
You just can't handle the fact several teams since 1979 already were passing for 4,000+ yards. That definitely proves it was possible. The other teams simply chose not to do it. It doesn't diminish the teams that did. So, yes, teams were capable of passing for 4,000+ yards in the NFL since 1979, and it's been that way ever since.
And once again, you don’t understand that just because some teams did doesn’t mean every team could. I understand the facts. I know there are teams that passed for that much. That doesn’t mean every team could. You don’t understand the concept of proof.

I used to bench over 400 pounds and I am human. Does that mean every human can bench 400 pounds?

Are you expecting every team to pass for 4k+ yards to make you happy? It doesn't work that way. The fact there were several in each decade who did shows teams were capable of passing for 4k+ yards since 1979, so my argument is valid since such accomplishment was proven.

none of your arguments trying to pump up Dak are valid.
Never have been; never will be

I don't think you remember what you said. Here is your quote:

"Right, but that still doesn't mean those teams since 1979 were not capable of passing for 4,000+ yards since at least 1 or more did. Those other teams simply chose not to."

Your quote implies that EVERY team should have been capable of passing for over 4,000+ yards since those other teams simply chose not to do so. Those are your own words. I said that you cannot prove that, and stated that some teams either didn't have the personnel or scheme to pass for 4,000+ yards. There is no way to prove that every team could have passed for 4,000+ yards if they chose to do so. Somehow, you don't understand this rather easy concept.

Last year, teams like the Pats, Bears, Giants, and Browns passed for well under 4,000 yards. By your reasoning, they simply chose not to do so---completely ignoring that those teams flat out sucked personnel-wise, the real reason they didn't have a good passing attack. On the other hand, Philly (3100+ yards passing) chose not to pass that much because they had a great running attack. Do you see the difference between Philly and the other teams I mentioned? One has excellent personnel that let them play anyway they wanted, while the other four teams couldn't because they were ***. Or do you still believe that those teams didn't pass for 4,000+ yards because they, in your own words, "chose not to do so?"

Did Kurt Warner approve of all this? Is Cole Beasley online?
 
Respectfully disagree, K.

You should have included every year from 1979 till today. It shows since 1979, the average passing yards leaders were around 4,500. That means there wasn't much of a difference in passing yards from 1979 through today.
