JetFan20 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 It’s going be difficult explaining to how John Elway and Brett Favre were HOF QBs to the next generation. Even guys like Big Ben and Tom Brady didn’t put up the big stats until their late 20s/early 30s. If Derek Carr put up the stats he’s put up ten years ago he’d be looked at as a future HOF.

Embrace the Suck Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 When it became illegal to play DB with any semblance of being a sport of physical aggression. It was accentuated when teams started spreading out the D with 4 and 5 receivers more and more regularly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you argue Revis vs. Sanders, you really ought to bring this guy into the debate. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, Brady getting his knee taken out in 2008 and the concussion issue. After these three things. QB's became untouchable, WR's and TE's no longer had to fear going over the middle into traffic and DB's basically had to try and cover guys with both hands tied behind their backs. Goodell took a great game and turned it into the Arena League. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crimson King Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 To make passing stats meaningful, they need to be separated between the pass and the run after the catch. DInk a pass in the flat for 2 yds and he runs for a TD makes all passing stats just plain silly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losmeister Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 the fcat that they EVENTUALLY enforced the rule.... shouldnt make us cry... our QBs being crap except for 1998 ,2002 and 2015 is the problem... Dbs mugging QRs all over the field when they dont have the ball is BS. some of the defenseless player stuff... is kinda weak... and they have over enforced roughing QB.

This is why people think Eli is a Hall of famer, "he's top 10 in yards, TDs!"- yeah but he's sixth all time in attempts playing his entire career in this pass happy era where all the rules favor pass offenses.

Irish Jet Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Rule changes. Some necessary and some ridiculous. Hitting unprotected players was standard practice for defensive players. The middle of the field was a dangerous place to run routes. Now a QB can pretty much attack there at will. That and DB’s being able to contact the WR less and less. I personally think they should have done away with these rules, maybe get rid of pass interference altogether to compensate the measures that had to be introduced for the players’ health. I miss the days before it became all about passing the ball. Made for a more strategic sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section314 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 All the things mentioned so far make Namath’s 1967 season where he became the first QB to throw for over 4,000 yards even more amazing.In 14 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was accentuated when teams started spreading out the D with 4 and 5 receivers more and more regularly. When they took the bump & run away from DBs and instituted no touchee rules...the passing game more resembled a video game then the throwback football days. When you were able to get physical with receivers, you had HOF QBs with 50-59% completion stats. Now the running game is more of a change of pace to keep the defenses honest. As the top QBs are flinging it all over the field 35 - 50 times at 60 - 70% rates. And RBs more and more almost must be very good volumn receivers too. I always made this suggestion on this topic. Why not at least expand bump-run from within 5 yards to 10 yards. This will allow DBs a better chance of throwing receivers off their routes and disrupt the timing with the QBs. Bringing completion % a little more down to earth. For me that would make the game more balanced and not take away any excitement for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeet Ulrich Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 The Ty Law game and the Bernard Pollard game ruined QB records. Go look and see how many QBs have thrown for more than 5000 yards before Pollard ripped up Brady's knee, then look after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting how narratives are created and perpetuated. Outside of the second half of the 2006 AFC Championship Game Peyton did very little to win the other two games. Peyton had the more talented team in every postseason matchup. Peyton lost his 2 leading O to 17 total points, in the 06 title game with reche Caldwell and Jabar Gaffney as his main weapons (with no run game) Brady led his O to 27 points. Peyton won good 2 SBs on the back of his D, he'd be under .500 in the playoffs (despite the more talented team in most years) if his D didn't drag him kicking and screaming to the SB in 2015.
