14 QBs passed for greater than 300 yards this weekend. That is amazing considering there were no minicamps. On a related note, Vikings QB Donovan McNabb, passed for more than 30 yards this weekend.

Weird. Brady going over 500 was impressive. Newton going over 400 surprised me.

Fixed.
If Arod would have had to throw more than 11 passes in the 2nd half on Thursday, he'd probably have gone over 500 as well, at least over 400
Yup! As long as he insists on running up big scores early he won't throw very often and his QBR will be total crap.
I reckon it's easier for the offense to get in sync than it is for the defense. Offensive players know what they have to do before the snap, and receivers at least do their own thing needing to bother too much what their teammates are doing. Defensive players have to react to the offense and have to make sure they know what everyone else is up to. Give it two or three weeks, it'll be back to normal.
I'm in the camp that if you're QB throws for over 500 yards something has gone wrong. If you're QB throws for 280-320 a couple TD's, no picks and you can run for 150-180 you're probably winning the game.
The Patriots continuing to dial up pass plays kept Miami in that game Monday night. Partiots had a 14 point lead with 9 minutes left and went three and out with two incomplete passes, took about 35 seconds off the clock, then handed it back to Miami. Then they did the same thing with about 3:30 left in the game.
No question AR could go for 500 if he decided that's what he wanted to do. But that's not how MM wants to win games.
