[QUOTE="Krymestone, post: 384337, member: 3679"] i think you can get too caught up in semantics when it comes to that; but one reason why QB's didn't throw for that much yardage was because you had a more running back-centric league. you don't really have franchise running backs anymore. you have running back by committee in a lot of cases; and after a year or two, a lot of running backs are worn out. if you want to really dissect the rules now, go back and look and see how many defensive pressures/sacks there were back then as well to see if this rule has affected the game that much. i agree that QB's are treated like prima donnas nowadays, and honestly there may be more QB's entering their 40's in the future that could still play the game because they're so protected. as far as bringing up those numbers; first of all, let's not get carried away by one game. at the end of the year if you have guys like chad henne and cam newton throwing for 4k yards, THEN you could make the argument. brady and brees are known for throwing 350+ yard games. and if jason effin' campbell ever cracks the 400 yard mark...change the damn rule! ;) [/QUOTE]
