They also didn't throw the ball as much or have these pass friendly rules that they have today were you can't touch the quarterback or mug receivers. Back in the day you could beat the shyt out of quarterbacks, which is why so many of them had shortened careers due to concussions. Brady, Manning and these other guys played under different quarterback and offensive friendly rules.
100% true.

Great post, but even with that being said, the rules didnt come until full effect until 2011. That when the passing stats became very inflated..2004 had some huge QB seasons, but in 2005, it was right back to a more defensive oriented league. They were only 2 4000 yard passers in 2005. When Manning won MVP in 2008, he had less than 30 td(27, to.be exact) and in 2009, he threw 16 ints as MVP, a far cry from the absurd numbers of 2011-current

Numbers post the rule change that got Tom fukked up are all "different" to me. You can't touch QBs no more. They looking for and pleading for flags and shyt. It's not the same. nikkaz been putting up arena league numbers since.

defenseless player
helmet to helmet


all that shyt has made it easy. WRs running all over the place like it ain't shyt knowing they can't get knocked the fukk out.

All of it.

If that's the case we'd have a strong history of repeats and threepeats in NFL, but we don't.

I trust Mahomes also, but in January all it takes is 1 moment.
It's one and one with football. But out of all the AFC teams, I trust him the most. :yeshrug:

Yeah youre right. That was around 2010/2011, when those began taking form. Then they reemphazised driving the QB into the turf after ARod got hurt by Anthony Barr. Im a firm believer that it takes a few years for the rules to really manifest. So while the rule for Palmer and then Brady, really started to peak in 2011. Rookie QBs rarely played well back in the day. Go to 2011, Cam throws for 400 in his debut. 2012, we have three rookie QBs with excellent seasons(Luck, RG3, Wilson) and so and so forth

Yup.

Now it's looking like the pendulum looks like it needs to swing back in the other direction (more ground game). Especially since these DLinemen are all seemingly being built to stop these new age offensives of throwin 40 to 50 times a game shyt. It's needed.

Too many average mediocre QBs getting elite and ridiculous pay and then complain about lack of weapons and shyt. nikka, you taking up over 20% of the cap by yourself!
