“Adjusting for inflation,” a QB these days would have to put up a 7,000 yard/70 TD type season before, IMO, it would even warrant having a debate about whether it was better than Marino’s 1984 season.

Nah, he's right on the money. In the '80s, you had defenses literally nearly killing opposing QBs and maiming receivers downfield. It was carnage and as a defensive person myself (having played safety in high school, college, and semi-pro), I loved it.

Using PFR's stats, and only looking at yardage just for the sake of time...

In 1984 there were 13 QB's who threw for more than 3000 yards.
In 2023 there were 19 QB's who threw for more than 3000 yards.

In 1984 there were 3 QB's who threw for more than 4000 yards.
In 2023 there were 10 QB's who threw for more than 4000 yards.

In 1984 there was 1 QB who threw for more than 5000 yards.
In 2023 there were 0 QB's who threw for more than 5000 yards. You can go back to 2020 and only find 3 QB's who broke 5000 yards. Herbert, Brady, and Mahomes.

WG is absolutely correct that the game has changed drastically and that those numbers in 1984 were significantly harder to achieve than they are in today's game, but they're still not being achieved with any frequency in the modern game. HK wanting to adjust for inflation makes sense, I agree with the concept, I'm just saying that a 7k yard/70 TD season in modern times is a bit too much considering only 11 QB's have exceeded Marino's yardage from 1984 and none of them have even exceeded 6k yards yet. Only 4 QB's have exceeded Marino's TD numbers from 1984 with Manning holding the record at 55.

There's no doubt that the league is trending towards Marino's 1984 numbers becoming "normal" but we're not there yet. I'd say "adjusting for inflation" would realistically be more in the 6k yard range if we're basing that off of how close contemporaries of the era were coming to those numbers. If we're just trying to adjust based off rule changes and the physicalness of the game, I don't really think there is any way to do that other than "feels".

Oh, I get it, that punishes the kicking team more by just doing the easiest thing and kick into the endzone. All good!

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin said that he reached out to ex-Lions and ex-Steelers CB Cam Sutton in light of his off-field issues (active warrant for his arrest for throwing his baby momma out a window).

A reporter followed up by asking Tomlin if he managed to speak with Sutton. Tomlin responded with, "None of your business."

Hey... You're the one who brought it up Mike.

Bad Twitter video that shows what the NFL just showed in a press conference of an example of a now banned hip-drop tackle.

Fuck... The 49ers/Cowboys Pollard tackle. No way that should be fucking illegal. That will be a 15 yard penalty and a fine for the defender? Fucking nightmare.

Same with the Chiefs/Bengals tackle right after it. That's just hitting a guy from the side and dropping your weight to make a tackle man. What do you want guys to do? Blow out his knee with their helmet/shoulder instead?

Yep.  Assuming players modify tackling behavior, there will probably only be about 60 legit hip drops next year.  Further assuming that the refs will flag every ticky-tack play the way they do with PI and defensive holding, 230 still sounds about right.

Last year officials called the following 15-yard penalties:
Click To View SpoilerTotal: 471

An additional 230 15-yard penalties for Hip-Drop Tackles would be an increase of 49%. Equivalent to half of every 15-yard penalty called last season. And would be the highest single category, surpassing Unnecessary Roughness, which covers NUMEROUS types of hits/incidents, by 35%.

Edit: Assuming the Hip-Drop would be a fine equal to Roughing the Passer, and that every fine was a "first offense", then the NFL would collect almost an additional $4M in fines next year.

Last year there were 29,034 tackles in the NFL. The League Office stated today that Hip-Drop Tackles accounted for 230 of them. They account for 0.8% of total tackles.

A special rule for something that makes up less than 1% of all tackles, but will result in HUNDREDS of additional 15-yard penalties and NFL fines every season.

Negative. Including the In Season, there have been 22 total teams, 8 have made the playoffs.

2001 Ravens (Divisional)
2009 Bengals (Wild Card)
2010 Jets (Conference)
2013 Bengals (Wild Card)
2015 Texans (Wild Card)
2020 Rams (Divisional)
2021 Cowboys (Wild Card)
2023 Dolphins (Wild Card)

The most successful regular season was the 2021 Cowboys who went 12-5 but lost in the Wild Card round to the 49ers. The Dolphins (In Season) went 11-6 last year and then lost to the Chiefs in the Wild Card round.

Via ESPN: Even though they signed Daniel Jones to a $160 million deal last year, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll have the green light from ownership to draft a quarterback, if they so desire.

The Giants currently hold the sixth pick in an especially strong quarterback draft.

"If they fall in love with a quarterback and believe that it's worth pick No. 6 or moving up, I certainly would support that," owner John Mara said Monday at the NFL owners meetings.

Maybe a little less than that, but yeah you're not far off IMO.

Nah, he's right on the money. In the '80s, you had defenses literally nearly killing opposing QBs and maiming receivers downfield. It was carnage and as a defensive person myself (having played safety in high school, college, and semi-pro), I loved it.


Using PFR's stats, and only looking at yardage just for the sake of time...

In 1984 there were 13 QB's who threw for more than 3000 yards.
In 2023 there were 19 QB's who threw for more than 3000 yards.

In 1984 there were 3 QB's who threw for more than 4000 yards.
In 2023 there were 10 QB's who threw for more than 4000 yards.

In 1984 there was 1 QB who threw for more than 5000 yards.
In 2023 there were 0 QB's who threw for more than 5000 yards. You can go back to 2020 and only find 3 QB's who broke 5000 yards. Herbert, Brady, and Mahomes.

WG is absolutely correct that the game has changed drastically and that those numbers in 1984 were significantly harder to achieve than they are in today's game, but they're still not being achieved with any frequency in the modern game. HK wanting to adjust for inflation makes sense, I agree with the concept, I'm just saying that a 7k yard/70 TD season in modern times is a bit too much considering only 11 QB's have exceeded Marino's yardage from 1984 and none of them have even exceeded 6k yards yet. Only 4 QB's have exceeded Marino's TD numbers from 1984 with Manning holding the record at 55.

There's no doubt that the league is trending towards Marino's 1984 numbers becoming "normal" but we're not there yet. I'd say "adjusting for inflation" would realistically be more in the 6k yard range if we're basing that off of how close contemporaries of the era were coming to those numbers. If we're just trying to adjust based off rule changes and the physicalness of the game, I don't really think there is any way to do that other than "feels".



Brees did it 5 fucking times. Doesn't get credit because the league is filled with corrupt faggots.

Rod Wood (the Lions President) himself indicated that Cam Sutton was inside Allen Park (the Lions HQ/Training Facility) when the team first learned of the warrant for his arrest. He was working with the strength and conditioning staff when Lions staff then approached him and urged him to seek legal counsel and turn himself in. He left the facility and that was the end of any communication between him and the Lions. They have had no communication since.
