Should be easy today as 187.5 yards passing per game is all that is needed for playing all 16 games.

I wonder how many times Kelly does

it if he played in this Era.

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.
