Dan Marino getting 5k yards in 1984 is still crazy. Notable that the year *afterwards* was when the Bears had their star defense...
Coincidentally it was Dan Marino and the Dolphins who SCORCHED that mighty Bears Defense for 38 points on Monday Nite Football in 1985 (Marino threw 3 TD Passes). Otis Wilson, Wilbur Marshal, Dan Hampton, Steve McMichael, Gary Fencik, Dave Duerson, Richard Dent, Mike Singletary.............had no answer for Marino, Clayton, and Duper in '85. More Teams should have used those Dolphins Game Plan: PASS THE FOOTBALL! "Points come out of the Passing Game". Strong Passing Offenses will always out duel those "Defensive Minded" Teams because "Defensive Minded" Teams (like those '85 Bears) can't score enough points to "keep up" with a strong Passing Team.
@@markparker1353 also the Dolphins wanted to preserve their legacy of the 1972 unbeaten season. In addition Miami was home that night and the Orange Bowl was LOUD.
@@markparker1353That game was the example of "offenses win games, defenses win championships." An excellent defense will prevail over an excellent offense 95% of the time in the playoffs.
I know right . The
league was more physical running league at that time . That was more impressive in my opinion than what we see now . Multiple quarterbacks are putting up 4,000 yards now . That wasn’t as common then .
@@markparker1353 nope all you got to do is play Time of Position against a high powered offense and play physical Defense a top notch QB can't beat u staying on the sidelines for most of the game
2009 was a crazy year for QBs. You had Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, and Kurt Warner who were all active and well known at this point. Aaron Rodgers was starting to get well known. Nearly a quarter of all NFL teams had a future Hall of Fame (or likely HoF for those not in yet) QB starting for them with legit hopes of winning it all.
That's just the QBs that are either currently in or probably going into the HoF. Joe Flacco, Eli Manning, Donovan McNabb, Philip Rivers, and Matt Ryan were also active. Some of those guys had SB rings or starts at that point, others would get one later or at least make it to the game. All of them were legit contenders to at least go deep into the playoffs.
There are a bunch of pretty decent QBs I'm not mentioning that also played that year. This was a seriously stacked season for QBs. I don't know if any other season was this deep.
Dan Marino is on this list so many times against a time when defenses could still hit players over the middle. Still one of the best ever even without a ring!
If you put Marino In today’s NFL, with these rules & that release? He throws for 6,000 yards. Easily.
Okay we get it grandpa! It ain't 1984 anymore, get over it.
You damn right he would and he was one tough sob.
@Number8Eigh8 How are you gonna say that on a channel called NFL Throwback 😂. One day some young shit is gonna tell you to get over Mahomes or Allen or whoever you bring up and that it's isn't 2024 anymore.
Marino would put up big numbers, but not 6,000 yards. That is just a delusional take to have. That is assuming defenses do NOT adjust at any point during the season, which is flat-out wrong. I can believe he'd have more 5,000 yard seasons than Brees, but he would really just be another Brees- a guy with a vast amount of volume stats but doesn't have that much success in the playoffs, just like how he is.
@@blacker5826 Exactly. He was that before that even existed. In 1984, that didn't exist. Now there's like been a few in the last 10 years.
They should do a leading rusher and receiver list now
I would like to see a sack leader list too.
I would like it if they could do a Interception in a Season league leader video.
All the above.
@@williamsummerson1204yea most likely they’ll do it all
its done
Dan Fouts leading the league in passing for four straight seasons is incredible. Best QB in Chargers history.
Imagine if he played on a team that had a good defense.
Imagine if he played on a team that didn’t have to face that nasty early 80s Raiders defense twice a year and in the 1980 ACC game.
As soon as the league opened up the passing game, his career exploded.
@@fortynights1513 had one in 79 and 80. He choked. 2nd ranked defense and he threw 5 INTs against an Oilers team missing its starting QB and backfield, notably Earl Campbell. 1980 defense was 18th but Fours picked off twice and completed less than 50% of his passes against the Raiders at home.
2nd best. Philip Rivers is the best. I understand he had a lot more pieces around him, but he was definitely more talented than Fouts.
The fact that Drew Brees never won an MVP is an absolute disgrace.
💯💪💯💪
Fax
Agreed
He does have 2 OPOY’s, and a Super Bowl MVP. It’s not like he’s been completely forgotten.
Should of stayed in San Diego
Who was a receiver for a lot of those late 2010’s teams
Brandin Cooks
That James lofton John Jefferson combination might have been the best 2 wr set ever, up there with Carter and Moss
Jerry Rice and John Taylor has entered the chat Jerry Rice and Terrel Owens or James lofton and Andre Reed
I don’t think John Jefferson did much in Green Bay. I was sad that my chargers let him go but Chandler filled in nicely.
17:52 This catch by Wes Chandler on Eric Wright is one of the greatest I've ever seen. He abused Eric Wright that day for 3 TDs.
I've heard of wes Chandler but didn't know he was that nice.. thanknyou NFL throwback. So many lesser known or forgotten legends.
That catch was tough
Who’s moaning in the background tho lmao
@@JPoct21 Ain't that serious homie lol. Just cheering from the Chargers radio broadcast team at the time.
From a Rodgers fan...Bro, how great was Brees. The dude was unreal
Definitely won’t see any Bears’ QBs on this list 😂
If we went back to the 40’s there was Sid Luckman three times; but none since the merger
Your UA-cam Channel Is One Of My Favorites NFL Throwback
Poor Don Majkowski, he and Sterling Sharpe had injuries derail their careers
Tom, Peyton, and Drew.. unbelievable
This video showed me three things.
1. I'm not crazy suggesting Brees belongs in the QB Goat debate with Manning, Brady, Montana, Mahomes, etc.
2. Warren Moon used to throw some of the most beautiful looking balls I've ever seen.
3. A man named Steve Beurelein exists and he somehow had the most NFL passing yards in 1999.
the thing is Brees has only won one super bowl
@@mariosnum1fan so when the Broncos D carried Manning to his second Superbowl in 2015 that was what allowed him to be goat material? If they lose that game or even before that is Manning not allowed to be considered since he had only won 1?
@@damonthomas2975manning put up great season after great season continuously and got to the Super Bowl on multiple occasions. Brees was inconsistent midway through his tenure with the saints
@@mariosnum1fan idk if I agree with that statement lol. You literally just watched a video that showed Brees topping the league in total pass yards year after year. I'm confused about this inconsistent play you speak of lbvs. I mean I acknowledge he was less good when he was 37 compared to when he was in his prime if that's what it referring to?
@@damonthomas2975 no I’m just addressing the original comment you made to my reply. It is a fact. No shade to what Brees did, he is easily top 10 of all time and arguably top 5.
Drew Brees is the only quarterback in NFL's History to throw for 5000 passing yards 5X on 5 different occasions
With different rules than most these guys! In a climate controlled dome. Before the late 90s? Most these guys were doing this throwing less then 30 times a game. In a run dominate league. Not passing 55-60 times a game like Brees! Imagine if Marino had twice the attempts? And you couldn’t touch his receivers after 5 yards? Or hit him after he threw it? He was definitely a good numbers guy. If i want a guy whos gonna put up good stats? Hes the guy. But if need to win 1 game? Theres at least 10 guys I’m taking before him!
Wait... Drew Brees played 25 plus seasons?!? 😂😂😂 Just say either 5x OR in five seasons.
@@Goji-eletienneDrew Brees only played 20 seasons my guy
@@JeffsParty you must not have graduated math class 🤣 you clearly live in a world where you imagine me not being completely aware of that 🤣
@@Goji-eletienne My bad. I didn't think you were being sarcastic.
Drew really had the better Arm shessshhh 🔥🔥
That 1978 rule change changed everything🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Also, the regular season being extended from 14 to 16 games in '78 helped in padding the stats.
Also before 1972, the hash marks the ball was placed on were closer to the out of bounds line and it was arguably easier to run someone out of bounds
Mel Blount rule
Changed it for the better.
@@hkgcgsdhjgdTrue no doubt.
But I can’t help but wonder what defenses like the Legion of Boom that had good secondaries could’ve done under the rules of the early to mid 70’s.
Drew Brees IMO should've had at least 1 regular season MVP award. too bad He got snubbed every time.
I don’t know about snubbed but he got unlucky. His best chances were 2011, 2012, and 2018 IMO, but Rodgers, Peterson, and Mahomes had unreal seasons those years.
💪💯💪💯
@@SpittUp09?
@@SpittUp Brees definitely should’ve won it over Peyton in 09
@@SpicyPepperon that’s fair. He had a higher QBR, more passing tds, and less picks. Manning got the “QB on the best team” treatment.
This is a cool video idea!
Warren Moon had the 2nd most passing yards in the 80s only one guy had more Dan Mario, both HOF Qbs who deserved a ring 😢.
As a Steelers fan Big Ben was the heart and soul of the Pittsburgh Steelers although he may not have won at least one or two NFL's MVP in his career Drew Brees didn't win NFL's MVP either but make no mistake about it I really appreciate the marvelous career both Roethlisberger as well as Brees have had such a splendid Spectacular football life no matter what both guys will be in the Pro Football Hall Of Fame soon very well soon
Brees should've won MVP in 2009, and Ben could've won it in 2014.
Marino was just ahead of his time. Goddamn that dude would be a top 10 QB 4 decades later today.
A game I'm very surprised we haven't seen yet on Throwback: 10/31/1999 Rams vs Titans in what turned out to be a SB XXXIV preview
Sooooooo many passes
Drew Brees never winning an MVP is not only a disgrace as someone else said but like…so weird. Whenever I think about great players in different sports that never won MVP, when I come to Drew Brees, the default in my mind is always, “Oh, but he won that _one_ later in his career”…even though he didn’t. It just seems so obvious that somebody so deserving of at least won, HAS won at least one, that the idea that he didn’t is still unbelievable.
2009 was his best argument if you ask me.
Also, further back, but Roger Staubach won no MVP either.
Drew Brees Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger deserves at least one NFL's MVP in there respected careers for real
Brees had the best case for winning one in his best seasons
As a Titans fan, I wished the team would've went out and got Steve "Air" McNair more dangerous WR'S. I loved Mason, Dyson was a good 2. Bennett had his moments, obviously Whychek was extremely dangerous. If we have a Moss with Mason at WR 2! George with the pounding runs. Unstoppable!
Titans have been the most cursed team or so in terms of receivers
Food for thought, imagine in a time warp, Houston never moves and you end up watching McNair, Eddie George and Andre Johnson on offense.
As a Ravens fan in glad yall didn't 😂 great battles we had
If mcnair had Owens, Fitzgerald or Andre Johnson, he would've had a greater legacy
Mason would of been wr 1 over moss in moss’s beginning years
Drew Brees played 20 seasons of NFL ball
of the 20, 8 of those seasons were seasons where he led the league in passing yards, 4 of which for 5000+ yards
13/19 seasons he was selected for the Pro Bowl
When he retired he was the all time passing yards leader, he was 2nd in touchdown passes, 2nd in completion percentage (first if you exclude Deshaun Watson's smaller sample size), tied for 1st in touchdowns in one game, most seasons leading the league in passing yards, amongst other accolades.
All without a top 10 defense in 18/20 seasons with the Saints.
He may only have one Super Bowl, but to me, he is better than Brady.
Enjoying seeing my old heroes. Like me! Old asf. 😂
If you adjust Dan Fouts 1982 stats to account for the lockout he would have passed for 5125 yards!
The jump in pass yards from the 70s to the 80s is startling
I wonder how we will look back at this years draft class... Do yall think any of these guys like Caleb Williams or Jayden Daniels can make it on this list?
Chargers should had won it all back in ‘79. Those four picks Fouts threw in the divisional against the Oilers hurt their chances of their best shot at a title while having somewhat of a balanced defense…
And they had defeated the Steelers handily during the regular season.
Drew Brees was insane in his prime
Brees was one of the top 3 qbs in the 2010s.. sometimes the best. His career is supremely underrated and he did it at 6ft
What marino did in 84 will forever ve legendary to me.
Brees had one of the greatest runs ever from 2006-2016
Those Warren Moon led Run N Shoot Oilers were sum else.
They might as well name the passing title the Drew Brees award
I feel like every year Drew brees threw for 5,000 yards. He was that good. Definitely belongs in the GOAT QB conversation
Great to see the Majik Man on any list
Honestly woulda never guessed Buerlin(99) or Lomax(87 Strike shortend)..woulda bin on this list
Ok. I’m ready for football again
There is always one thing you can guarantee when it comes to NFL passing videos. You'll never have to worry about seeing the Bears.
The 2000’s and 2010’s were mainly Brees, Brady, Manning and Big Ben.
Its crazy that the first milestones for yardage:
3000 Johnny Unitas 1960
4000 Dan Fouts 1979
5000 Dan Marino 1984
The most yards since 1984
5069 Drew Brees 2009
The most yards since 2009
5477 Peyton Manning 2013
The number of 5000-yard seasons for QBs since 2013
5: 2016, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022
4 future HOF so far in those seasons
Peyton Manning is the only quarterback in NFL's History to win 5 NFL's MVP 4 with the Colts and one with the Broncos
And that’s a record which likely will not get broken for many years to come unless Mahomes continues to work his magic even more.
Drew Brees leading the league in passing yards 7 times and 5 of those times was he threw for 5,000, never got an MVP is crime still to this day.
peyton manning really beat Brees by 1 yard!
2014, 2018🔥
I'm happy for that sniper Tua after his concussion filled season a year before
Zack Hample should be praised.
As a Bears fan hopefully Caleb can take us the on list one day
A video on what happened to some of those older guys would be interesting
❤ Leading Rusher and Receiver coming soon please 😅
💥💥Do NFL season rushing leader 1970- to present day next
Peyton Manning 2013 5,477 and 55 Touchdowns
Didn't they get molly woped by the Legion of Boom that yr in the SB
@@zztv15They did; really good regular season though, and I’m pretty sure the Bronco defense gave Manning fewer turnovers than some of these team’s defenses.
@@fortynights1513 Yep it's like they D was terrible that year but Peyton last yr he was average and the Defense carry them to title that was his worst yr since his rookie yr
@@zztv15Imagine the 2013 Bronco offense and 2015 Bronco defense on one team
@@fortynights1513 Woooow they probably would of went undefeated
This video makes you realize if Drew Brees had the right team he would have possibly gotten GOAT status.
What team do you think he should be in?
@@jesusortiz-xo2mg if he stayed in San Diego
I just hope that one day Caleb Williams will be on this list cuz god knows us Bears fans truly deserve it 💀💯
My Glorious King Tua Tagovailoa
Thank you for the beautiful moments you create! Your videos are a real source of joy.🥝🐧🟩
Did yall do leading rushers already?
It’s coming!
@@NFLVaultYou Are Doing A Spectacular Job By The Way Keep Up The Good Work
Brees was special as I remember
Dan Fouts way ahead of his time
If this video was the entirety of my football knowledge, I'd think Devery Henderson was the greatest wide receiver ever
He wasn’t? Haha
The QB play in the 2010s will never be matched
A lot of excellent quarterbacks, and the rules at the time helped too.
Counting backwards was a good choice!
Reminder that Drew Brees threw more completions, for more yards, and for more touchdowns than anyone during the 2010s decade. Reminder that any top ten quarterbacks of all time list that does not include Drew Brees is just flat out wrong.
Also was the primary passer for 12 different top five offenses (most would say he wasn’t the best player on two in San Diego, but still).
If you ask me number of top offenses the player is a part of could be something we look at when evaluating them because they don’t play defense.
For comparison, Brady led 13 such offenses in his career, and Peyton led 12.
11:49 hard to believe a Jaguar QB even made this list. But if it was gonna be any, it would be 8.
Brees should have won at least one MVP. He was phenomenal and my all time favorite Saint! Who Dat! First Ballot HOF!
Drew Brees is an underrated goat
The odd ball of matt schaub and steve burlelyn
all the QB records being broken due to all the rule changes,it's getting ridiculous very soft league compared to the 70's and 80's.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮5,000
Why not for this video do best pass
steve young didnt get one? he must have been close some years...
@15:47 a fine diving touchdown catch by Jay Novacek as a Cardinal.
Why is there no music?
As a Steelers fan Drew Brees was HIM 🐐
Ah yes, the Jameis winston 30 and 30 legacy season
If not for the 82 strike, fouts would have put up over 5,000 passing yards before Marino, and God knows what kind of numbers West Chandler would have put up
The rule changes nowadays allow for this
The true great QBs are the ones that did in the elements. So many QB stats get boosted for playing the majority of their games in domes and perfect weather.
This stat bias doesn’t get mentioned enough.
Manning's 2013 season will go down in history as the single greatest of all time. Fight me.😠
In case you forgot who Drew Bree’s was lmao
So Dan Fouts lead the leauge with 4,802 passing yrd in 1981, and then lead the league in passing yrds again in 1982 with 2,883 yrds. That’s a 1,919 yrds less than the year before 😭 how was no other Quarterback able to throw for more yrds 🤔
There was a strike in 1982, so the season was only 9 games long. Fouts actually threw for more yards per game in 82 than in 81.
Bree's being on this list 7 times PROVES he was ROBBED of being MVP
2020: what Bill o brien did to that texans team is smh
Forgot shaub was a friggin passing leader and a decent QB just not superstar lol
Now which of these leaders had the let's say weakest, wide receiving room.
1994 Patriots
1999 Panthers
2004 Patriots
1992 Dolphins
You gotta remove the '04 Patriots from that list. They didn't have pro bowl wideouts but their WRs were still strong. Deion Branch did win SB MVP after all.
1999 Panthers by far. At least the 1982 Packers had Lofton.
Goes to show you how overrated Sean Payton is. Had one of the best QBs of all time and still underachieved.
The team didn’t have much of a defense for a few years.
Granted was he also the GM?
Fun Fact: Drew Brees and Matt Ryan are the only 2 Quarterbacks who passed for over 4,000 yards per season for their entire careers.
that’s just not true
Thats false. Both Qbs didn't hit 4k passing yards until around their 4th season as starter.
Brees played for 20 years and 8 of those he didn’t hit 4K 😂. Matty Ice missed 4K 5 of his 15 years.
False. Matt didn’t with the Colts.
Lying >>>>
@ NFL Throwback, how can I get in touch with you? I’m a statistical, mystical, mythical. I got stats on stats on stats. Need a kickstand where I lean. It’s what I do bro. But I’m only good for 1 team and just wrote my first book. I’m lookin for work and I think I can be of service. I’m the people’s researcher.
If Brandy is the GOAT. Brees is the same as him too.
Hey! This video is wrong!!
Where are all of my Chicago Bears QBs who have had the most Passing Yards in a Season?
As a long suffering Vikings fan I am eagerly awaiting the video that breaks down the teams ranked by their all time recievers.....finally something we walk away with.
Drew Brees never being named the MVP of the league is one of, if not the biggest disgrace in the history of the NFL. In my opinion, there was no player in the NFL that was more valuable to their team than Drew Brees was to the saints throughout his career.
Lol Saints fan. But you're right, he was 2011 MVP over Rodgers in a just world
@@CannataNFL I wasn't implying that he should have won every year 😆 at least once would have been nice though lol
@@D-Lo23The best argument for an MVP is 2009 in my opinion.
In retrospect though, the teams Brees was on weren’t very good defensively when he was more in his prime.
2018 was probably his best chance to win a second title (defense was 14th that year; better than some of the years before it), and that team might’ve been more well rounded than 09 even, but the no call happened in the NFC Championship Game of course.
@@fortynights1513 I have to say, you are correct. In my opinion though I feel that the fact that he was on below average teams and yet was still able to surpass 5000 yards numerous times and lead the league in passing on numerous occasions should have been enough, but sadly it was not. Quite unfortunate.
@@D-Lo23People say defense wins championships or offense wins championships.
I say well roundedness and execution win championships.
In Brees’ case, he was the quarterback for seven or eight different top five offenses, but three or four of them were paired with defenses that weren’t even top 20.
He executed, but his team was not exactly well rounded.
It’s kind of weird that Tua Tagovailoa appears on this list for most passing yards in a single season by a quarterback despite having a losing record of 9-14 against teams with a winning record in his NFL career!
Most passing yards ≠ winning football.
See Jaboo Winston also on this list. Love Jameis, but he’s not an elite QB. Also see Drew Brees the most times on this list. Not comparing him to Jameis at all but guy only has one ring despite having the most years leading the league in passing.
@@jeffreylamarwilliams1638 Agree. Bucs went 7-9 in 2019. The next season's leader, Deshaun Watson, had a starting record of 4-12
@@jeffreylamarwilliams1638Doesn’t mean you didn’t play well individually, but well roundedness and execution above all else lead to teams at their best
Joe Ferguson led the entire NFL with only 2,803 yards in 1977. The Bills went 3-11 and only scored 160 points in 14 games. No wonder they opened up the passing rules.
