Going to update this thread every week to list Allen's current place and some notables that Allen will be able to pass in the upcoming game.

 

EDIT: UPDATED post Bucs game

 

Current Place: 113th

 

With a 250 yard performance will pass:

  • Richard Todd (49 yards - hmm, any relation to Sweeney Todd??)
  • Earl Morrall (248 yards)

With a 300 yard performance will pass:

  • Nobody

With a 350 yard performance will pass:

  • Nobody

With a 400 yard performance will pass:

  • Nobody

With a 450 yard performance will pass:

  • Jake Delhomme (414 yards)

 

Players Allen passed last week(324 yards for Allen) - 3 (Trent Dilfer, Billy "Val" Kilmer, Aaron Brooks)

 

Key Look Ahead: Allen is a little under 600 yards from passing Jack Kemp 

Key Look Ahead #2: Allen is a little over 1500 yards from entering the top 100 all-time for career QB passing yards, replacing Carson Wentz at 100.

And I suspect a little Black Fitzmagic to start so many games as the intended backup. He’s got a stash of punctured voodoo dolls somewhere, but he’s too smart to let us find them.

Randy Johnson killed a bird though.  Let's see Allen do that before we get all giddy.

As an aside to show how far the NFL has come in terms of passing...

 

For his career, Arnie Herber completed 40.1% of his passes, threw 81 TDs to 106 INTs and had a passer rating of barely over 50.

 

And was inducted into the NFL HOF.

So b.c a guy had bad stats back when football was played by normal men in the early 1900's Fitz should get in? That is a weak argument...

Who said that? I was merely showing what was considered great back in the late 30s and early 40s in terms of passing.

He's been paying me to make them for years!

This is far far far too early.

 

I really hope you're being sarcastic, and naming Tommy Maddox and Randy Johnson and the rest of these wanted-to-be's "notables" makes me think you may be.

 

But it's still a horrible idea.

No, those are the players Allen will be passing this week if he hits those numbers.

 

It's meant as an ongoing thread which will update every week

As an optimist, I prefer to think of it as a long term project and commitment. Very, VERY long term.

 

But who am I to judge. 🤷‍♂️

 

The first installment I actually found quite interesting. I’m not sure how much “news” comes in weeks, months or even years to follow. Names to remember is interesting. Different eras lead to different types of numbers.

That is a shocker and so is Kerry Collins at 20, one spot ahead of Joe Montana...Flacco just passed him last game for 19th.

This is just evidence that the game is changing.  It's like comparing baseball players from different eras. 

 

Andre Reed was at or near the top of the receiving lists when he retired.  Now a lot of players have passed him.  He was a great player regardless of how many guys come along and play under different situations.

Is this a real thread or a joke?

 

It is the beginning of a thread that will likely run for the next 15+ years....think of it as the longest continual thread of all time on this forum.
