I think it would serve better to look at the other players (QB) in the NFL at the same time ...
Compare the stats then and see what result you get ...
My point being ... Throwing for alot of yards with alot of TD's is pretty much done by (almost) the majority of starting QBs today;
24 players threw for more than 3000 yards in the 2012 season ...
17 players threw for more than 3500 yards
11 players threw for more than 4000 yards
6 players for more than 4500 yards
20 players threw 20+ Tds
12 players threw 25+ Tds
5 players threw 30+ Tds (Brees, Rodgers, P. Manning, Brady, Ryan)
10 players had a QBrating of 90+
8 players had a QBrating of 95+
4 players had a QBrating of 100+
2010 (Packers SB with Rodgers)
22 players threw for more than 3000 yards in the 2010 season ...
12 players threw for more than 3500 yards

3 players threw for more than 4500 yards (Rivers, P. Manning, Brees)
17 players threw 20+ Tds
11 players threw 25+ Tds
5 players threw 30+ Tds (Brady, Brees, P. Manning, E. Manning, Ryan)
13 players had a QBrating of 90+
6 players had a QBrating of 95+

Comparatively (Favre's last season as a Packer):
15 players threw for more than 3000 yards in the 2007 season ...

7 players threw for more than 4000 yards

2001 Season:
19 players threw for more than 3000 yards in the 2001 season ...
9 players threw for more than 3500 yards
2 players threw for more than 4000 yards
1 player threw for more than 4500 yards (Warner)

Not to mention 1996 (Packers SB with Favre)
9 players threw for more than 3000 yards in the 1996 season ...
5 players threw for more than 3500 yards
3 players threw for more than 4000 yards
Highest that season was 4367 yards (Brunell)
7 players threw for more than 20+ Tds
4 players threw for more than 25+ Tds
2 players threw for more than 30+ Tds (Favre 39, Testaverde 33)
I just took out some "random" years in succession, however anyone looking at those same stats year by year will be able to deduct the same; - Passing yards and Tds have gone up significantly all over the board ...
- Interpret these numbers how you will ...
