BobbyC81 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The Bills have had a total of 19 QB 3,000 yard passing seasons in their history. Drew Brees has 16. The Bills may not reach 3000 passing yards as a team this season as they currently have 2641 yards by 4 QBs plus Logan Thomas. Note: since 3000 yard seasons do not count yards lost by sacks but the Team Total does, the 2641 does not include sack yardage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 3,000 yards??? This ain't the 1980s. 3,000 yards means squat. Kyle Orton passed for 3,000 yards. In 12 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to see impressive, compare Dan Marino to his peers. Brees is quit impressive compared to his peers as well.

row_33 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Bills have relied on the running game, when it was fashionable and even in 2018 when it has been grossly out of fashion for over 30 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBuchanan Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 3000 yards is a useless goal. every QB in the league throws for that if they play 16 games. If they don't, odds are incredibly strong they;ll never start again. The new standard for a good QB is 4000 yards, of which Brees has 12. Without looking, I'm gonna guess that's 12 more than in Buffalo Bills history. he also happens to have 5 seasons where he threw for 5000 yards and one more that was 48 yards shy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty incredible in the era he played, and if you weigh the numbers, he likely does come out as the GOAT. However, no SB wins so he's not going to get that kind of credit in the media. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F the media. Championships are the result of Team play and coaching. I dont give credit to the HOF in any sport, especially baseball because the only thing that should matter is individual accomplishments on the field of play. Specifically how can you accept anything as legitimate when the greatest hitter of all-time is not in the hall of fame. The dumbest and most dishonest people in society may very well be in the media.

If you want to see impressive, compare Dan Marino to his peers. Brees is quit impressive compared to his peers as well. Comparing players to their peers is really the only fair way to do it when you're talking about stat comparisons from differerent eras. Ryan Fitzpatrick, for example, could conceivably pass Jim Kelly in career NFL passing yards when all is said and done. On stats alone, a completely oblivious statistician might think the two were comparable in talent, ignoring the fact that Fitzy played in the flag football era while Jim Kelly played in an era where running the ball was still a viable strategy. Also, the career longevity of NFL QB's these days was simply not possible back then. I'm impressed by how effective Brees and Brady have been into their 40's, but no way they get to where they are now if defenses were allowed to play under the old rules of getting to the QB. One can definitely make a case that Marino was the GOAT. He would have had multiple Super Bowl rings if he had quality RB's playing for him and if the Bills weren't in the same division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
