What's scary is that according to my numbers at Football Outsiders, the 2000 Rams were actually the best of the three St. This season is a bit lower than 1999, despite the better completion rate, because Warner threw fewer touchdowns and more interceptions. He's the only QB with two seasons in the top 10. But for three years, he was the best in the business. His tenure with the Giants this season was the NFL equivalent of one of those VH-1 "I Love the '90s" specials.
OTTO MATIC LEVEL 8 SERIES
Like a lot of big stars around the turn of the millenium, Kurt Warner came out of nowhere, was huge for a couple years, and then fell apart, only to launch a series of aborted comebacks. But two other 2004 QBs could also end up with historic years (factoring in regular-season performance only).Īctual stats: 375 for 546, 68.7% completion rate, 4830 yards, 36 TD, 22 INTĢ004 projection: 374 for 534, 70.0%, 4945 yards, 40 TD, 20 INT It turns out that Manning is indeed having a historic season - the greatest of all time, in fact.
OTTO MATIC LEVEL 8 CRACK
Rushing yardage isn't included, which is one reason why Steve Young's 1994 season didn't crack the top 10. Also, this is a list of the best passing seasons of all time, not necessarily the best quarterbacking seasons of all time.
We couldn't include sacks since those numbers don't exist for some seasons, and we didn't adjust for strength of schedule. Unfortunately, we can't break down every single play like we do for Snap Judgment, so we can't adjust quarterbacks who get stuck in bad field position or have no running game. Then we created a formula that turns passes, yards, touchdowns, and interceptions into the same PAR points (points created above a replacement-level QB) that you find each week in the Snap Judgment QB ratings.
OTTO MATIC LEVEL 8 FULL
If teams played only 14 games a year, we give the quarterback an extra two games - and Manning and the other 2004 quarterbacks get an extra four games to make a full season. If teams threw less often than they do now, we project more passing. If interceptions were more common than they are in 2004, we project fewer interceptions. We created a level playing field by transferring each season to the offensive environment of 2004. We've gone through every quarterback season since the AAFC-NFL merger in 1950 to figure out the best passing performances in history. So is Manning really having the best season ever, or has he been helped by the rules? NFL teams are averaging more passing touchdowns per game than in any non-strike year and fewer interceptions per game than in any season ever.
The league as a whole has never had a completion percentage over 60 percent, but thanks in part to stricter enforcement of illegal contact by defensive backs, the leaguewide completion percentage is currently 60.1 percent. Sure, Manning has eye-popping statistics - in one of the most offense-oriented seasons in NFL history. Manning can smile with all the huge numbers he's putting up.
