Ghost of Lambeau posted:I would say take what the defense gives you. So on the season if we had 5000 yards rushing and 2000 yards passing, and won the SB - I would be good with that. I realize the other way around is more realistic - but my point is I'm with Boris & Pikes Peak - just win baby ............ whatever it takes.
I don’t really think anyone is arguing against that. I know I’m not.
The central point of the original post is really something that started with a comment I read in a discussion about whether Tom Brady is the greatest QB ever. The comment was that if Rodgers played for Belichick, he’d throw for 7000 yards in that system.
So how possible is that? Well, 7000 probably isn't, but what about 6000? 375/game? That seems possible. The NFL of 2019 and all its pass-happy glory is far more conducive to that possibility than at any time in the past. And I still believe that #12 is thee greatest QB to ever toss the pill- better than Brady, better than them all.
But there’s a part of me I suppose that wants to see this validated somehow. Rings will do that, sure. So will undeniable greatness in performance. Here’s to hoping for both...
