Was Dan Marino's TD record this sacred ???
I clearly remember a couple of people in the media talking about this when Manning broke the TD record. Not alot, but a couple.
About the same number that are talking about it with Brees. It's something to talk about, but people are acting like there has been some wall of criticism thrown at Brees. It's been a couple of yahoos, at the most.
Pointing out how the rules favor the offense is, IMO, not criticising Brees as much as it's just pointing out reality. The fact that 3 QBs are within striking distance tells you alot about the current state of the game.
Not to take anything away from Drew. As it was pointed out, Drew is the only QB with 2 5,000 yard seasons and he does hold the record. So, if everyone is benefitting from the rules as they are now, it can be said that Drew is probably the best QB in the NFL because he has played the best under said rules.
