Level 78

Dec 11, 2013

Column 1 - 7 years...Column 2 - 38 years. Very telling statistic regarding how pass heavy we have gotten.

Level 78

Dec 31, 2013

Fitting that the Bears are missing from this list. The curse of Jim McMahon (and Rex Grossman, Kyle Orton, Jay Cutler...).

Level 52

Sep 11, 2016

Jay Cutler is up there

Level 87

Aug 3, 2018

As a Bronco.

Level 67

Oct 13, 2020

Jay Cutler is the best quarterback the Bears have had in 50 years. And Jay Cutler was a very mediocre quarterback.

Level 76

Oct 13, 2020

True. And true.

Level 47

Dec 31, 2013

42/49..not bad.

Level 48

Jan 1, 2014

surprisingly no Joe Montana here. He and Brady are just products of genius coaches. Put Brady on the Jaguars, he wouldn't even make the playoffs.

Level 35

Jan 2, 2014

Can you even name the WRs that were on the SB winning teams Brady was on? I doubt you can get 5 without looking it up.

Level 50

Oct 29, 2017

i could get five because im an avid pats fan Edelman, randy moss, danny amendola, troy brown, and david patten

Level 83

Jan 13, 2022

I'm sure you knew this, but he didn't win with Moss.

Level 83

Sep 24, 2014

You can refer to the first comment here. A quiz like this is skewed heavily toward recent pass-heavy offenses. Russell Wilson won the Super Bowl last year, but he doesn't have to rack up 4000 yards to do so.

Level 85

Oct 23, 2017

It's the rule changes that have been made that led to the pass-happy offenses, which have led to the inflated passing stats. You used to be able to destroy QBs anywhere/anytime and mug WRs all the way down the field. (which is why a QB like Johnny Unitas doesn't get the credit he deserves)

Level 83

Jun 19, 2018

It puts Tarkenton's record in a new light, doesn't it? He racked up yards unlike anyone before him.

Level 76

Sep 10, 2016

No Brady fan here, but that comment is just ridiculous. These two (and Peyton) were the last guys you'd want facing your team with the ball on their own 10 and 2 minutes left.

Level 80

Mar 26, 2022

This aged so poorly . . .

Level 79

Jan 9, 2023

The same can be said of Montana. Imagine him on the Falcons or the Bucs in the 80's.

Level 78

Jan 13, 2023

Boy, this didn't age well.

Level ∞

Jan 8, 2024

It really didn't. Belichick has been nothing without Brady, and Brady won a Super Bowl with Tampa Bay.

Color me surprised.

I always thought the coach mattered more, but maybe Brady was doing a lot of coaching himself.

Level 81

Sep 8, 2016

Could you loosen the spelling for Don Majokowski, please? Otherwise, fun quiz!

Level 44

Apr 18, 2017

Drew Brees very underrated, He is one of those greats that never gets attention because his team fails him and he plays with Manning and Brady. He has the 2nd most 4,000 yard seasons and most 5,000 yard seasons.

Level 87

Aug 3, 2018

Brees has generally been considered a Top 5 QB pretty much every year for the past 10-12 years. He's an 11-time pro bowler, 2-time offensive player of the year, and a Super Bowl MVP. It's true he's never won a regular season MVP, and yeah, that's largely the fault of playing at the same time as guys like Brady, Manning, and Rodgers, but I wouldn't call that "very underrated." He'll be a HoFer on the first try, same as the rest of those guys.

Level 67

Oct 13, 2020

Yeah, Brees is great, but I don't know where you get the idea that he's underrated. He gets a ton of praise, and is always mentioned alongside Rodgers and Roethlisberger as the guys were a step behind (and occasionally equal to) Peyton and Brady.

Level 68

Jan 21, 2018

Jay Cutler?!?!?

Level 47

Feb 13, 2018

Of course! One of the all-time greats! :p

Level 87

Aug 3, 2018

Like Josh Freeman!

Level ∞

Dec 31, 2018

Hey guys don't forget about Jon Kitna

Level 68

Mar 22, 2019

My man led the league once

Level 85

Dec 31, 2018

Joe Namath wasn't an NFL quarterback in 1967.

Level ∞

Dec 30, 2019

Added a caveat, thanks.

Level 84

Jan 3, 2020

One must behold the sight of Famous Jameis. He became just the 8th person to pass for more than 5,000 yards, despite his clear intentions of opening a "Famous Jameis Sweet Turnovers" branch wherever he goes.

Level 72

Feb 27, 2020

First member of the 30-30 club

Level 53

May 23, 2020

Jameis was a great quarterback. He threw 30 touchdowns to make his team happy. He didn’t want the other teams to feel bad so he threw 30 passes to make them happy.

Level 67

Oct 13, 2020

His 2019 season is just preposterous. It produced so many weird factoids. He's got to be the only guy to throw for 5,000 yards and then be a backup the next season.

Level 75

Jan 5, 2021

He wasn't just a backup, he's been a third-stringer

Level 25

Mar 17, 2020

DETROIT LIONS IS THE BEST TEAM

Level 55

Oct 20, 2020

too bad the steelers are going all the way this season!! they are 5-0 so far

Level 65

Jan 12, 2021

Aged well

Level 24

Dec 29, 2021

Skip to 2021/22 season, and they are literally one of the worst teams right now !!

Level 75

Jan 10, 2022

But they beat the (possibly) best team in the NFL

Level 37

Jan 25, 2024

Fast forward a few years and...

Level 92

May 11, 2021

I feel like Manning's record in 2013 had to be a bit of a nose tweak to Brees. I'm going to beat your record... BY 1 YARD. HA!

Level 79

Jan 9, 2023

I like the gold highlight for the NFL record. I would also like to see a color each time the record was broken, starting with Namath in '67, to see how many times it's occurred.

Level 80

Mar 27, 2023

It's not too interesting. First 5, Marino 1984, Brees/Brady 2011, Manning 2013.

Level 86

Jan 8, 2024

With the advent of a 17 game season, this is going to be even watered down.
