defenders were allowed to jam receivers a lot more and qbs got mugged after every pass. today's game is much more qb and wr friendly. not to take away anything that brees has done. but what fouts and marino did in that era of the game is greater than what any qb can do today.

I hear this all the time and it's simply not true, or at the very least, greatly overblown. The five yard chuck rule was in effect in 1984 and was called frequently back then. In the 60's and early 70's I would agree but not 1984.
Plus, Drew Brees broke the record in 15 games which should more than compensate for any perceived advantage.

You have to realize tha in 84 most teams built to stop the run. Today every builds to try an stop the pass, nickel is the base formation for most teams today. I think that offsets any rule changes.
