MTBill Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Interesting nugget on that list. One of the QBs on our roster is on that list - with 3,700 yards in a season. Playing for Cleveland... None other than Derek Anderson.

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. I'd be interested to see what the 90's Bills would have looked like with Marino under center.

That is one of the reasons I say Dan Marino is the GOAT and it is possible that an actual goat may have been better than some of the WRs and RBs he had at his disposal. What's even more amazing is that he was drafted by the Dolphins and not the Steelers who watched him throw every week at Pitt and passed on him, I'm still bitter about it.

If you want to see impressive, compare Dan Marino to his peers. Brees is quit impressive compared to his peers as well. Yeah, it’s a completely different era now. What Marino did was like Babe Ruth did in the white major leagues. He was so superior to his peers. But when Matt Stafford gets multiple 5,000 yards seasons, maybe it’s not that impressive anymore.

BobbyC81 Posted December 18, 2018 Author Posted December 18, 2018 6 hours ago, MichaelAbdallah said: 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. How about Joe Ferguson? At one point he was among the career leaders in a few categories like yards, attempts, completions based mainly on longevity. He may arguably be the 2nd most accomplished passer in Bills history but he was just an average quarterback.

Buffalo716 Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 The Bills have 28 seasons with 1000 yard rushers... 3rd In NFL history...
Nick the Greek Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 3000 yards divided by 16 games equals 187.5 yards per game. Let’s shoot higher people. Allen WILL be better than that.
