You cant pass your way to the Super Bowl Trophy

Heard Florio interviewed as he normally is Wednesday mornings by 1090AM in San Diego. He pointed out that top passing yardage season performances by QBs dont equal Lombardis and that he would post up that fact asap:

Our corporate cousin Tom Curran of CSNNE.com recently pointed out something that quickly has become my favorite factoid of the week. The top 10 single-season passing yardage performances in NFL history came from men whose big numbers did not result in the biggest possible prize: a Super Bowl win.

Ditto for the top 20 single-season passing yardage performances.

And for the top 30.

In fact, it’s not until No. 34 on the list that the quarterback who generated big yardage won the Super Bowl — Peyton Manning in 2006, with 4,397. Next, at No. 35, Drew Brees and the Saints won the title in 2009, with Brees throwing for 4,388 yards.

Panther related because with the hysteria of Cam' production we still need to get our tandem running game going in symbiosis to get where we ultimately want to go.

I know there is much Florio hate here but he is useful as a gatherer of information.

i think the top two under appreciated stats to winning the SB is third down conversions in the 4th quarter and red zone defense.

oh and lets throw in length of drives in the 2nd half. that tells us two things. how good one offense is and how fresh the other d is.

I totally disagree, just out of the top five players you have the top passer in the Super Bowl or just at the doorstep. Even the year when the top passer missed the Super Bowl, the winning team had a passer in the top ten. What they didn't have at the top, a running back in rushing yards.

1. Lost superbowl

2. superbowl team 2nd in passing and if Brees did not have a freakish year it would have been first.

3. Lost superbowl

4. Lost superbowl

5. Lost conference championship, superbowl winning QB was 8th, superbowl winning RB not in top 10.

Like that point wasn't made when u lost the two games where Cam was high scoring...

Mike kills me with his desire to make a shallow point. We all know winning isn't based solely on high passing counts but it helps when ur QB can do their job in the passing the department so when the rest of the team gels u hopely got a Superbowl winning team.

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
