Do you think this number still represents a good season by an NFL qb, or is more an indication that his team had no running game or played from behind too often?

    I'm not sure, could you rephrase the question?

    Well, if I'm going by Texas Tech's Mike Leach era, I'm gonna say the latter.

    It depends. In the case of Peyton Manning, obviously he was the straw that stirred the drink in Denver last year. However, in the case of Matt Ryan or Matt Stafford their inflated passing #'s had more to with a result of situation football. Not to say that they aren't good quarterbacks in their own right, just that they were forced to throw more as a result of playing catch up often. Bottom line, passing yards on it's own is a lousy metric for evaluating a quarterback's performance.

    5000 is the new 4000. The game has changed.

    Yards only indicates volume, not efficiency.

    Also, by traditional QB rating system Tony Romo is a sure fire hall of famer

    I'm pretty sure it's "300," but 4000 sounds like much better odds
