[QUOTE="Bogart, post: 384311, member: 3900"] Exactly. Cam Newton set a record, should I really care? In 1984 Dan Marino set the record of a 5,000 yard passing season. Since then, the only quarterback to come close to that record was Brees. Manning and Brady both have come close but not enough. I think it was a bigger accomplishment back then than it is today. People forget that back in the day defenses were much more brutal. Quarterbacks are treated way better today than they were when Young was getting concussion after concussion, and Warren Moon was getting his brains knocked out. A good example of this is to watch how the Buffalo Bills used to play from 1990-1993. Their pass rush would have flags all over the field today. I like to believe in my own opinion the greatest quarterback of all time was Joe Montana, and taking a look at his career, he did not benefit from the tuck rule, or any of the newer rules today and the man got 4 rings. Actually if the Tuck Rule was around back in 1991, the 49ers would have played Buffalo in the Super Bowl cause before the Giants knocked Joe Cool out the game (which today would have had roughing the passer flags everywhere) there was a turnover that would have been called an incomplete pass thanks to the rules today, and that turnover led to points.
