Just for some perspective, one of the greatest/winning-est QBs of ALL TIME, Terry Bradshaw, had less than 10 300 yd games his entire NFL CAREER. I believe he had less than 5 in the reg season.


Bradshaw was not an all-time great. He had two hall-of-fame receivers, a hall-of-fame running back, multiple hall-of-fame lineman to go along with one of the best defenses in NFL history. Oh, he also had one of the best coaches. Trent Dilfer would have won 4 super bowls with that team. Bradshaw gets way too much credit. His career completion percentage and passer rating is absolutely abysmal. In his career, he only threw 2 more TD's than INT's. So bringing up Bradshaw is a terrible example, unless you mean to say that we should be able to win championships with even a crappy QB.

"Bradshaw was not an all-time great."

Before I even looked, I said to myself, this person is young. Yep. He was born the last year Bradshaw played. The game changed so much with significant rule changes since then (especially since 1978) so you simply cannot go on stats. 2 Super Bowl MVP's, a league MVP, of course the 4 Super Bowl titles, not to mention size, athleticism, and an insanely strong arm. Whatcha gonna do?
