AZ54 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago 14 hours ago, Alaskan Grizzly said: Beg to differ. Brees threw for 5,000 yards in five seperate seasons. All before the NFL went to 17 games in 2021. And point taken about “never being done” …for Chicago. It is a record to be noted considering it’s for one of the founding teams of the NFL. The point isn’t what HoF QBs have done in domed stadiums. People saying 17 games makes it easy for Caleb to hit 4k is just a back handed insult by implying that almost any QB could do that. Yet nobody ever has. Maybe it does take a special QB to hit that mark while playing half the season in windy Soldier Field? It certainly takes someone with a strong arm. I’m confident Caleb will rewrite the Bears record books and exceed 4000 multiple times in his career. Even if Caleb becomes as good as Brees I doubt we’ll see the 5000 yard threshold ever met while playing at Soldier Field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Brady only hit 4K once in his first 7 seasons. Caleb will hit it, and I am sure he will consistently hit it, but if he doesn't, I don't think it is the biggest deal. There are a lot of bad QBs that have hit 4K, so that alone is not the measure of success (Matt Schaub, Brad Johnson, Trent Green, Carson Wentz, Ryan Tannehill, Josh Freeman, Jon Kitna). Notable QBs in top 50 all-time: Elway's best season: 4,030 Passing Yards Esiason's best season: 3,959 Passing Yards Montana's best season: 3,944 Passing Yards McNabb's best season: 3,916 Passing Yards Aikman's best season: 3,445 Passing Yards I just hope he hits it, gets 270+ so we can finally move onto other discussions.
