What do you guys think when looking at stats for quarterbacks this week?
Cam Newton - 400 yards
Drew Brees - 400 yards
Tom Brady - 500 yards
Chad Henne - 400 yards
The NFL sets up these new ******** rules to limit the defense every few years and look at what is happening.
In the Giants/Redskins game, there were several flags thrown on "touching a defenseless player" just because someone touched a WR before he could get off the ground and run. That helped Rex Grossman to a 300 yard passing game.
Most "Old schoolers" probably remember in the late 80s through early 90's how many quarterbacks put up that good of numbers in a week. Let's see...You had Joe Montana who could easily average 250-300 yards with his west coast offense set up. Warren Moon led the league in passing one year as he was averaging 250-300 yards per game (including a couple 400, and even a 500 yard game) but the Run-N-Shoot Oilers was nothing but a pass game. Dan Marino every now and then could throw that much, and in 1987 Bernie Kosar was in the 200 yards per game club, even with a 400 yard game (that he had zero touchdowns in) Ohhh I forgot one, Jim Kelly and the No huddle "K-Gun" Buffalo Bills were able to throw 200-300 passing yards, when their running game was shut down.
I know some people won't agree with me, and that's cool but I think the NFL is getting overboard with new rules that favor the offense. The stats this week for quarterbacks look ridiculous. If this was 1991 there is NO WAY IN HELL all these quarterbacks would have thrown for 400 yards.
