nero47 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Add in JK's years in the WFL and collins wouldn't be close .
Jerry Jabber Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Jim was only in the NFL for 10 years. If JK would have played with us from when we drafted him in 83, Collins would be nowhere near Jim's stats.
KRC Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 That is why stats, without context, are meaningless.
devldog131 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Add in JK's years in the WFL and collins wouldn't be close . WFL? I think you mean USFL.
McD Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Add in JK's years in the WFL and collins wouldn't be close . Kelly played in the USFL, but we know what you meant Also, Kelly could have thrown for much more yardage, but he was a team player and KNEW that we needed to be a run first team here to be successful late in the season. He called a very balanced attack. If he threw as much as Marino or Elway (espescially since he lost 3 years of his prime to the USFL), he'd have similar passing #'s to them.

silvermike Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 How many yards would Kelly have added in that '83-'85 run? Ferguson might have started through '83 regardless, so maybe a bonus 6,000 yards? That would certainly be more than Collins will likely pick up between now and the end of his career in January (or even 2009), and enough to hurtle Jimbo past Joe Montana, Johnny Unitas, and several others and thus into 10th place all-time (and possibly into the top 5 at the point he retired).

Good point with Fergie...I think 6K-7K extra yards is a decent number.
