[DirtDirtDirt]

I thought immediately this was a Patriots thread

 

[Trudem]

Romo, Dak, Brady, Rodgers and Wilson

sorry minimum 150 pass attempts in the playoffs

 

[jarntt]

Just looked it up. Stupid to miss the first one. That should have been easy. almost went with the 3rd guy. The list I looked at didn't have Dak, but he should be on there, no? Didn't say minimum # of games

 

[soxfan1468927]

Rodgers, Flacco, Brees, Eli, and Kaepernick?

 

[RobToxin]

Jay Cutler, Brian Hoyer, Alex Smith, Brock Osweiler, Matthew Stafford

Damn, Ya know I knew Brady wasn't on that list

 

[cdumler7]

I actually knew Mark Sanchez was on the list. One of the very few positives when the Broncos traded for him was he ups his game in the playoffs.

Some of the younger poster's don't understand the rule changes

Prior to 2008, a QB has only surpassed 5,000 yards passing in a season only a single time. Brees became the second QB to reach that milestone in 2008. In 2011, 3 QBs alone topped 5,000 passing yards. Only 10 years ago, surpassing 7.0 YPA for a QB was considered very good. Only 11 QBs would reach that mark. 10 QBs surpassed that mark in 2003. By 2008, 17 QBs reached that mark. Over the years, we've changed what we have come to expect from QBs. A 60% completion percentage was once considered a milestone for a successful season. In 1983, only 8 QBs completed over 60% of their passes. 20 QBs surpassed that in 2010. Now, that is just the baseline for a QB. In 1983, when the defense still had an even ground, 10 QBs had 5% or more of their passes intercepted, including John Elway and Ken Stabler. Only 4 QBs, including Dan Marino, had less than 3% of their passes intercepted. In 2010, only a single QB had 5% or more of his passes be intercepted. On the flip side, 18 QBs had less than 3% of their passes intercepted. Offensive production has come at the sacrifice of the defense. At some point, there needs to be an even balance between offense and defense. So how would I recommend balancing out the two sides?
