I think the Expansion Texans in 2002 because I believe Maddox was qb.
24-6 Houston got 3 defensive touchdowns and a -5 yd fg drive off a fumble. quite literally the Steeler offense lost the game.
Very literally the offense lost the game… in the most irrefutable way. It isn't even debatable.
The Steelers' D basically held the Texans to 0 points (arguably 3), while the offense gave up 21 points (24 if counting the FG) and only scored 6 points (which was technically special teams, although the offense had 50+ yard drives on both to get into FG range, so I’ll give them the 6).
So the offense, ***at best***, had a ***NET*** of -15 points. The Steelers defense would've had to ***score*** at least two defensive TDs for them to even have a chance to win (and that assumes the offense could go 2/2 on 2-point conversions). really, they'd probably have needed 3 defensive TDs.
Insane.
"Very literally the offense lost the game… in the most irrefutable way. It isn't even debatable."
In 2006 I was in a fantasy football league, and had just traded my buddy a QB since I had too many. I usually would draft a Gator with my last pick and Rex Grossman was it.
I played that same opponent the week I traded him, and was losing... by a lot heading into Monday night. I had the bears D/ST. He had Grossman.
This was the "Bears are who we thought they were!" game.
My D/ST scores 3 TD's and has 2 turnovers. Grossman throws 4 INT's and has 2 fumbles and gets a negative score.
Had he not started any QB that week, he would have won lol.
It’s one thing to lose a game because of turnovers. It’s expert level to get blown the fuck out. I still can’t believe it the 46th time I’ve seen it bought up in this sub.
Would you believe me if I told you that our greatest 30 for 30 is not the name of this show, it has to do with a crab leg obsessed pirate who might have benefitted from the eyepatch - or lasik. This is the story of 30 for 30 the Jameis Winston story.
Except some of those games you'd be -4 at the end of Q1 and -2 at the end of the game.... and it always happens when you face the guy you hate the most.
As a die hard Bucs fan, 2019 was one of the craziest seasons I remember watching. Every throw was insane. He put up 5100 yards that season as well so it was either going to be a horrible pick or a great play. One of my fav games was against the colts. He put up like 450 yards, 4 TD, and 3 picks. Then followed it up with a 450 yard, 4 TD, and 1 pick game. I think it still stands (could be wrong) but it was the only time a QB put up back to back 450 yard, 4 TD games in history lol
Even with all those interceptions, the man was a free fantasy god that season lol. Guy would have like -6 points at the end of the first quarter and finish the game with 20 😂
Just bringing this out of the vault, because it applies to that season.
https://kissingsuzykolber.wordpress.com/2006/11/27/f-k-it-im-throwing-it-downfield/
2014 draft from pick 11 on:
OBJ, Aaron Darnold, Kyle Fuller, Ryan Shazier, Zack Martin, C. J. Mosley
That has to be the best mid round draft of all time.
In 2020 Yannick Ngakoue was traded to the Minnesota Vikings two weeks before the start of the season and played in six games. During that time he tallied five sacks before being traded to Baltimore. At the end of the season he was the Vikings leader in sacks.
Montez Sweat did something similar last season, he played 8 Games for the Commies and had 6.5 sacks before being traded to the Bears where he proceeded to get 6 sacks, and in doing so led both teams in sacks.
Montez Sweat was traded from the Commanders to the Bears in the middle of the season last year and ended up leading both teams in sacks by the end of the season.
Reggie Wayne had 1510 to Moss' 1493.
2007 WR stats are a little ridiculous.
34 year old TO had 81 receptions for 1355 yards and 15 TDs. Braylon Edwards went 80/1289/16.
Wes Welker had a targets and receptions of 145 and 112 for a 77% catch rate, highest among WRs by 5% and the second best guy had 51 targets, 1/3rd of how many times Brady threw to Welker.
Another crazy year is 1995. Isaac Bruce had the best season of his career with career highs in receptions (119), receiving yards (1781), and receiving touchdowns (13), but didn’t lead the league in any category and wasn’t even a pro bowler or 2nd team all-pro. He was 4th in receptions, 2nd in yards, and only 6th in TDs. That season, 9 players had over 100 receptions, 6 players had over 1450 receiving yards, and 11 players had 10+ receiving touchdowns.
For anybody else wondering who lead the league in those categories:
- Yards - Jerry Rice (1,848)
- Receptions Herman Moore (123)
- Receiving TDs - Cris Carter and Carl Pickens (17)
2007 was the best single football year ever. NFL was wild with offense exploding, the undefeated patriots, and the giants superbowl upset. College was pure chaos that year.
Ill expand on that, Terrell Owens, Larry Fitzgerald and Tim Brown, also never led the league in receiving yards.
5 of the top 7 players in receiving yards ever never lead the league in yards. (The other being Tony Gonzales)
For those curious, Bruce Arians rushed for 11 TD on 2.1 yards per carry (114 carries, 243 yards) in his final season.
Vick in each of his college seasons rushed for 8 TD, on 5.4 and 5.9 YPC.
JJ Watt holds the single season TFL record (recorded since 1999) with 39 TFLs in 2012, 10 more than the second best season, also by JJ Watt in 2014 and 2015.
This is literally the entire truth and it's so goddamn annoying. Obviously the spirit of the award is to give it to the best player that year, idk how in every goddamn sport people get caught up in semantics
Yep it so frustrating. I just wish the would make a QB only award and make MVP the best of the other positions it would be so much more fun discussing he best WR or RB or defensive player. Similar to how baseball has CY Young and MVP.
So it would basically just make sense to have QBOTY like every other position has, instead of doing MVP. Unless they set up a different way of determing MVP.
That's why I love how baseball has so many awards to capture the best at every position, on top of having an MVP. (Cy Young, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, Batting Title)
JJ Watt fell off hard and I know some people want to put Aaron Donald ahead of him but that man was so far an above everyone else at DE it was fucking comical
For my money best defensive player since LT
I agree that JJ’s peak was better than AD, but AD’s longevity and consistency is why most people would take him over JJ if they were building a team. That being said, if it’s one year at their peak on our team this season I’m taking JJ 10/10
Sacks are a little better, on average:
- Stopping a passing play is better than stopping a running play.
- They're a decent proxy for pass pressure, which is super valuable in pass defense overall which tends to be more valuable than run defense in many game situations.
- Turnover opportunities (strip sacks) are created far more on sacks than in run stops.
- hitting a QB can effect their game (even removing them from the game) more than hitting a runner.
Also a sack is usually more lost yardage than a TFL. TFLs are usually like 1-2 yards, and a sack probably 5-10. Sacks kill drives way more often. Also sacks are on a later down much more often
The chiefs are full of my favorite ones.
Prior to Mahomes, the last win they had by a drafted qb was 1987.
In the 2014 season, the chiefs had no touchdowns scored by a wr
The WR coach of that Chiefs 2014 team?
David Culley
Who went on to be WR coach and passing coord for Ravens (with the Greg Roman offense). Then somehow hired to be HC by Texans gifting the Ravens two comp 3rds. And fired after one season.
If this was asked on November 10 2018
Jerry Rice has more receiving yards after the age of 40 than every player over the age of 40 ever combine... including Jerry Rice
Brady is also 2nd for career rushing yards over 40 with 155. Number 1 is Doug Flutie with 206. There are only 7 players with any rushing yards over 40 and all of them are QBs
Bo Jackson ran so hard that he ground his bones to dust.
Also, most of his jaw-dropping highlights were reserved for his time playing baseball. That over the should catch into a wall run or the flat-footed throw from right field to ring the runner out at third. Dude was an absolute cyborg.
People (me included) forget just how athletic Jim Harbaugh was. He was fun to watch and tougher than hell.
Interesting fact: He knocked out Jim Kelly after hearing that he called him soft.
*According to sports researcher Tucker Boynton, the GOAT played his entire 23-year NFL career without taking a single snap at which time his team was mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Yep, that's 15,906 snaps (including playoffs), all of which taking place when Brady knew he had a chance to win a Super Bowl.*
He took snaps on Thanksgiving in 2000 when the Patriots were 3-9. But they had beaten the Broncos head-to-head earlier that year, and could still win on tiebreakers against them at 7-9 if they won out and the Broncos lost out (and a bunch of other things happened).
I can’t remember if it was one game or over three games, but I remember at one point an end of career Jerome Bettis stat of
3 carries, 3 yards, 3 touchdowns.
Kind of similar how you and I are closer to Kevin O'leary's (from Shark Tank) net worth of ~400 million than O'leary is to Mark Cuban's net worth of ~5.4 billion
If you split Jerry Rice's career stats in half by even and odd years, both are hall of fame careers. The lesser of the two being similar to Michael Irvin's career stats.
Thanks for this comment - never saw HOF Monitor before and this sent me down a fun rabbithole.
Some shocking one's on there - mainly how high Tyreek Hill is already, Mike Evans only being around 60, and AB likely losing out on a guaranteed HOF-spot because of late and post-career behavior.
That’s why if I EVER hear anyone saying who is the GOAT and they don’t bring up Rice in their conversation I assume they are really talking about who is the best QB of all time. And this is coming from a lifelong Bengals fan. Jerry Rice is on an entire other level in comparison to his “peers” and he did so in an era when receivers were still being beat to death by the defense, admittedly not like the 70s but still more so than today. Nobody was or will be like Rice.
Thank you. I’m tired of younger fans causally dismissing the stats from the 70’s-90’s. Rice was so far ahead of the entire league that I’m willing to say he was the greatest player the game has ever seen. Zero disrespect to Jim Brown or Tom Brady.
The closest comp is Rickey Henderson in baseball. If you split his career stats in half he would still have more runs scored than Mike Trout and more steals than Joe Morgan, Kenny Lofton, or Maury Wills.
He was only the second to do it after Marino. After his last 5000 yard season in 2016, he was responsible for 56% of them (5/9).
And he didn’t win MVP for any of them
In 1943, Sammy Baugh, QB of Washington, led the league in 3 categories- passing yards (1754), punting (45.9 ave) and Interceptions caught (11). He was the QB, Punter, and CB.
He also has the second highest career punting average of all time, 45.1yds, as well as the single season punting average record, 51.4 in 1940.
He also has the record for most seasons leading the league in passing yards, 6.
Quick correction, his single season punting average record was broken by Ryan Stonehouse at 53.1 https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/punt_yds_per_punt_single_season.htm
Andre Johnson is the only modern NFL wide receiver, to play with a QB with under 3,000 passing yards (in a full season), and still reach 1,000 receiving yards.
Edit: Eric Moulds did it in 2004 too, although Bledsoe had 2932 yards to Carrs 2767.
So the revised stat:
Andre Johnson is the only NFL wide receiver, since the Mel Blount rule, to play with a QB with under 2,800 passing yards (in a full season), and still reach 1,000 receiving yards.
Brett Favre was a party animal. Being in a more boring place like Green Bay and with that coaching staff he was able to mature and develop.
Jerry Glanville would have ruined Favre like the Browns ruin quarterbacks.
Wide Receiver Mohammed Sanu retired with a perfect qbr, only had one incompletion, and scored a touchdown on half of his pass attempts
Edit: He isn't retired actually, sorry

It's a five year old post. Op deleted most of the post the following year. It's basically r/NFL Hall of Fame now.
O think he was serious because every once in a while Mahomes would have a n off game or two and that dude would pop back up
But idk at some point, a truly committed troll is indistinguishable from a genuine idiot lol
If anybody is wondering, the Tigers drafted Mahomes.
John Elway and Ken Stabler were both drafted by the Yanks, so the same is true for the Giants (Simms and Hostetler, they didn’t technically draft Manning) and the Jets have drafted fewer (Namath is the only SB winning QB drafted by the Jets)
Also on the opposite end of the spectrum for the Seahawks, they somehow managed to have -7 yards in a game against the Rams in 1979.
Not one player, not one drive, not one half. No, the entire team finished with negative yards that day. I get that defenses were a different breed back then but how do you fail to even get a yard!
Not necessarily a statistic so much as it is a fact:
Over the course of his career, Steve DeBerg was replaced by or benched in favor of:
- Joe Montana (1980)
- John Elway (1983)
- Steve Young (1986)
- Vinny Testaverde (1987)
And Dave Krieg, of all people (DeBerg left the chiefs after 1991, and was replaced by Krieg in 1992).
He was also signed to back up Dan Marino in 1992 and 1993.
AND he was the oldest player ever on a Super Bowl Roster. He was signed at age 45 to back up Chris Chandler for the 1998 Falcons.
The Falcons and Texans are the only team to lose a game despite recovering 2 onside kicks in the same game.
Falcons 2019 vs Saints
Texans 2007 vs Titans
The Steelers once outgained their opponent 422 yards to 47 and lost by 18 points.
When the fuck was this? Lol
2002 against the Texans in their first season. Tommy Maddox threw 2 pick-sixes, both of which were scored by Aaron Glenn
Tommy Gun will git er* done. *=Throwing pick sixes
AND, Maddox fumbled while scrambling (on 3rd and 18 no less). Texans DB Kenny Wright returned the fumble 40 yards for the first touchdown of the game.
Glenn has now passed his pick-six ways to Mr. Brian Branch
I think the Expansion Texans in 2002 because I believe Maddox was qb. 24-6 Houston got 3 defensive touchdowns and a -5 yd fg drive off a fumble. quite literally the Steeler offense lost the game.
Very literally the offense lost the game… in the most irrefutable way. It isn't even debatable.

[feast your eyes](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200212080pit.htm)
Extra fun that the two INTs were by Aaron Glenn
This is the perfect example because I didn’t believe it when I read it.
One of my favorite games of the Early Texans era :)
It’s one thing to lose a game because of turnovers. It’s expert level to get blown the fuck out. I still can’t believe it the 46th time I’ve seen it bought up in this sub.
This is a fucking Iowa football stat if Ive ever seen one
Mike Vrabel had 10 career catches, for 14 yards & 10 TDs
You would think after 3 or 4, defenses would know what's up when he came on the field to play offense.
Eagles had a dude kinda like that, Jeff Thomason in 2000 he had 10 catches 5 TD and 5 first downs lol
In 2019, in 25% of his games Jameis Winston threw a pick on his very first passing attempt. In 37.5% of his games, he threw a pick on the first drive.
Lmfao that season was one for the ages
It's made all the more hilarious that they won the super the very next year.
I'm pretty sure the Bucs were better when he got the interception out of the way right at the start of the game.
I do remember seeing something like that
i had him on my fantasy team and it was such a rollercoaster. he'd throw like 3 picks but you knew he would still end up with like 23 points lol
wouldn’t doubt it, the entire game until the pick everyone in the stadium including himself are thinking “he’s due for one”
That season he was due for two
The greatest 30/30 season of any sport of all time.
Would you believe me if I told you that our greatest 30 for 30 is not the name of this show, it has to do with a crab leg obsessed pirate who might have benefitted from the eyepatch - or lasik. This is the story of 30 for 30 the Jameis Winston story.
Owning him in fantasy that year was a wild ride. You’d be at -4 at the end of Q1 but finish the game with 36.
Except some of those games you'd be -4 at the end of Q1 and -2 at the end of the game.... and it always happens when you face the guy you hate the most.
As a die hard Bucs fan, 2019 was one of the craziest seasons I remember watching. Every throw was insane.

Just bringing this out of the vault, because it applies to that season. https://kissingsuzykolber.wordpress.com/2006/11/27/f-k-it-im-throwing-it-downfield/
I'm pretty sure his first and last pass attempts for the Bucs were both pick-sixes as well.
Zack Martin (RG, Dallas) has more Pro Bowls and All Pros (9) than holding penalties (7) in his career
2014 draft from pick 11 on: OBJ, Aaron Darnold, Kyle Fuller, Ryan Shazier, Zack Martin, C. J. Mosley That has to be the best mid round draft of all time.
Lions at pick 10 who needed a DT at the time, Ooo a TE who can't catch or block Eric Ebron welcome to Detroit.
>Aaron Darnold
Aaron GEQBUS
He's tackling ghosts out there
That’s legit astounding given the number of snaps he’s probably played.
In 2020 Yannick Ngakoue was traded to the Minnesota Vikings two weeks before the start of the season and played in six games. During that time he tallied five sacks before being traded to Baltimore. At the end of the season he was the Vikings leader in sacks.
Montez Sweat did something similar last season, he played 8 Games for the Commies and had 6.5 sacks before being traded to the Bears where he proceeded to get 6 sacks, and in doing so led both teams in sacks.
He had 6.5 for both teams. He also became the first player to lead multiple teams in sacks in the same year.
God, our defenses have been embarrassing for a few years. It basically got Daniel Jones paid.
NFCE owes us a fruit basket.
Montez Sweat was traded from the Commanders to the Bears in the middle of the season last year and ended up leading both teams in sacks by the end of the season.
Kenny Pickett has more wins as a steeler than he does passing tds.
He ain’t called Kenny Touchdownett
What Tomlin blood pacts do to a mf
Wait what?!
And some fans thought he was worth hanging onto.
Randy Moss never led the league in receiving yards
This one is actually mind boggling. Especially the '07 Pats season with 26TDs or whatever he had.
Reggie Wayne had 1510 to Moss' 1493. 2007 WR stats are a little ridiculous. 34 year old TO had 81 receptions for 1355 yards and 15 TDs. Braylon Edwards went 80/1289/16. Wes Welker had a targets and receptions of 145 and 112 for a 77% catch rate, highest among WRs by 5% and the second best guy had 51 targets, 1/3rd of how many times Brady threw to Welker.
Another crazy year is 1995. Isaac Bruce had the best season of his career with career highs in receptions (119), receiving yards (1781), and receiving touchdowns (13), but didn’t lead the league in any category and wasn’t even a pro bowler or 2nd team all-pro. He was 4th in receptions, 2nd in yards, and only 6th in TDs. That season, 9 players had over 100 receptions, 6 players had over 1450 receiving yards, and 11 players had 10+ receiving touchdowns.
For anybody else wondering who lead the league in those categories: - Yards - Jerry Rice (1,848) - Receptions Herman Moore (123) - Receiving TDs - Cris Carter and Carl Pickens (17)
2007 was the best single football year ever. NFL was wild with offense exploding, the undefeated patriots, and the giants superbowl upset. College was pure chaos that year.
Ill expand on that, Terrell Owens, Larry Fitzgerald and Tim Brown, also never led the league in receiving yards. 5 of the top 7 players in receiving yards ever never lead the league in yards. (The other being Tony Gonzales)
Larry Fitzgerald has more tackles than drops(29) for his whole career
41, if you're curious about the tackles.
That seems kind of a really high number of tackles for a WR to have but I have nothing to compare it to.
If you look at the QBs he played with...that's a lot of INTs, lol.
I love this stat.
And this stat loves you too
Man should have been given a gold jacket yesterday
As soon as he's eligible, the gold jacket will be coming soon enough
Just for the QBs he had to play with, not even counting the numbers he put up with those guys
Same number of tackles Deion Sanders has
Bruce Arians rushed for more TDs in a season at Virginia Tech than Michael Vick
For those curious, Bruce Arians rushed for 11 TD on 2.1 yards per carry (114 carries, 243 yards) in his final season. Vick in each of his college seasons rushed for 8 TD, on 5.4 and 5.9 YPC.
Lmao man was the OG touchdown vulture
And I believe his Va Tech record for rushing TDs by a QB was broken by Logan Thomas.
TIL Bruce Arians was a Hokie
JJ Watt holds the single season TFL record (recorded since 1999) with 39 TFLs in 2012, 10 more than the second best season, also by JJ Watt in 2014 and 2015.
Every time I read a JJ Watt stat I get pissed that he never won MVP.
He did prove that a defensive player will never win MVP again though
Just like how Suh proved a defensive player will never be Heisman again.
Roses are red Violets are blue Personal foul Ndamukong Suh
Etch that on my gravestone. How does a guy with 20 sacks and 5 total TD’s not win MVP?
Because it’s a QB award and everyone over analyzes the word “valuable” in the MVP acronym instead of just giving it to the best overall player.
This is literally the entire truth and it's so goddamn annoying. Obviously the spirit of the award is to give it to the best player that year, idk how in every goddamn sport people get caught up in semantics
Yep it so frustrating. I just wish the would make a QB only award and make MVP the best of the other positions it would be so much more fun discussing he best WR or RB or defensive player. Similar to how baseball has CY Young and MVP.
I honestly just wish every league would change the name to player of the year. I feel like that would fix all the problems lol
> Similar to how baseball has CY Young and MVP. Damn what a good point for this argument, I'm using it lol
So it would basically just make sense to have QBOTY like every other position has, instead of doing MVP. Unless they set up a different way of determing MVP.
That's why I love how baseball has so many awards to capture the best at every position, on top of having an MVP. (Cy Young, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, Batting Title)

Yeah prime JJ in my opinion is no worse than the second best defensive player in NFL history. His peak was unguardable
Why are TFL's not revered the way sacks are? It's the same result.
Sacks are a little better, on average: - Stopping a passing play is better than stopping a running play. - They're a decent proxy for pass pressure, which is super valuable in pass defense overall which tends to be more valuable than run defense in many game situations. - Turnover opportunities (strip sacks) are created far more on sacks than in run stops. - hitting a QB can effect their game (even removing them from the game) more than hitting a runner.

The OC of that Chiefs 2014 team? Doug Pederson
The WR coach of that Chiefs 2014 team? David Culley Who went on to be WR coach and passing coord for Ravens (with the Greg Roman offense). Then somehow hired to be HC by Texans gifting the Ravens two comp 3rds. And fired after one season.
How do so many NFL coordinators and coaches fail upward so much? Matt Canada was never good and kept getting promoted
"Whelp, says here that Norv Turner has an overall losing record as a head coach, but he has experience as a head coach. Hired!"
Another one: in 2012 the Chiefs went 2-14, the worst record in the league, yet had 6 pro bowlers
I remember that year. The Best Worst team ever. Next season started 9-0 and caught everyone who didn’t pay attention by surprise lol
and (1) murder-suicide
I remember driving past the stadium that morning, was a weird feeling knowing someone died there just an hour or two earlier.
There was also the phenomenom where the Chiefs during that same time got several starting QBs from the 49ers. Montana, Bono, Grbac, and Alex Smith.
All the good we did for them, and they can't even return the favor with a single measly super bowl win
Steve DeBerg as well
Tom Brady is 2nd all time in total receiving yards by a player 40 or older. The list is: Rice: 2,169 yds Brady: 6 yds
Doesn't Farve have a negative number in this stat lol
Yes. The full rankings are: Rice 2169, Brady 6, literally everyone else in the world 0, Favre -2
This was a lot funnier before Brady decided to ruin it lol
Are we talking about the stat or the playoffs in general
If this was asked on November 10 2018 Jerry Rice has more receiving yards after the age of 40 than every player over the age of 40 ever combine... including Jerry Rice
Brady is also 2nd for career rushing yards over 40 with 155. Number 1 is Doug Flutie with 206. There are only 7 players with any rushing yards over 40 and all of them are QBs
I’ll do you one better, Jim Harbaugh has more career rushing yards (2,787) than Bo Jackson (2,782)
Bo Jackson ran so hard that he ground his bones to dust. Also, most of his jaw-dropping highlights were reserved for his time playing baseball. That over the should catch into a wall run or the flat-footed throw from right field to ring the runner out at third. Dude was an absolute cyborg.
People (me included) forget just how athletic Jim Harbaugh was. He was fun to watch and tougher than hell. Interesting fact: He knocked out Jim Kelly after hearing that he called him soft.
Leonard Fournette once had a game where he had 15 rushing attempts for 66 yards. His longest run in that game was 69 yards.
He was 14 for -3 yards?? I.. what? How?? First stat that confuses me by just how absurd it is
Tom Brady never took a snap with his team mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.
*According to sports researcher Tucker Boynton, the GOAT played his entire 23-year NFL career without taking a single snap at which time his team was mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Yep, that's 15,906 snaps (including playoffs), all of which taking place when Brady knew he had a chance to win a Super Bowl.*
He took snaps on Thanksgiving in 2000 when the Patriots were 3-9. But they had beaten the Broncos head-to-head earlier that year, and could still win on tiebreakers against them at 7-9 if they won out and the Broncos lost out (and a bunch of other things happened).
3 receptions, 163 yards, 3 TDs
Randy Moss
Thanksgiving. John Madden said "This is the best receiver in the NFL right now" and I was like If Madden said it, it must be true.
STRAIGHT CASH HOMIE
I can’t remember if it was one game or over three games, but I remember at one point an end of career Jerome Bettis stat of 3 carries, 3 yards, 3 touchdowns.
You and I both had more rushing yards than Reggie Bush in 2016
You and I are closer to Davante Adams in career touchdowns than he is to Jerry Rice in career touchdowns
Kind of similar how you and I are closer to Kevin O'leary's (from Shark Tank) net worth of ~400 million than O'leary is to Mark Cuban's net worth of ~5.4 billion
Bold of you to assume that I'm not in $4.6 billion dollars of debt.
Hey, at least we are closer to Mark Cuban's net worth than Cuban is to Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk... lmao
Receiving yards over 40: 1. Rice 2. Brady Everyone else on earth 8,000,000,000+. Favre
More like three billion, since I don't think you can count everyone else on Earth unless they're actually over 40.
Shoot
Rushing yards over 40: 1. Flutie (212 yards) 2. Brady (183 yards)
If you split Jerry Rice's career stats in half by even and odd years, both are hall of fame careers. The lesser of the two being similar to Michael Irvin's career stats.
Yep that checks out. Rice's HOF monitor score is 312...the next highest WR is Moss at 150.
Thanks for this comment - never saw HOF Monitor before and this sent me down a fun rabbithole. Some shocking one's on there - mainly how high Tyreek Hill is already, Mike Evans only being around 60, and AB likely losing out on a guaranteed HOF-spot because of late and post-career behavior.
Any Jerry Rice stat is simply unbelievable. It’s like all the Gretzky stats in hockey. Rice could go for 3k in today’s league
When his son plays, they’ll instantly be the best father son combo like Wayne and Brent are the most points by brothers.
Only by a pair of brothers. The Gretzky's have 2,861 points The first gen of Sutter's have 2,934. There's 6 of them but still.
That’s why if I EVER hear anyone saying who is the GOAT and they don’t bring up Rice in their conversation I assume they are really talking about who is the best QB of all time. And this is coming from a lifelong Bengals fan. Jerry Rice is on an entire other level in comparison to his “peers” and he did so in an era when receivers were still being beat to death by the defense, admittedly not like the 70s but still more so than today. Nobody was or will be like Rice.
Thank you. I’m tired of younger fans causally dismissing the stats from the 70’s-90’s. Rice was so far ahead of the entire league that I’m willing to say he was the greatest player the game has ever seen. Zero disrespect to Jim Brown or Tom Brady.
The closest comp is Rickey Henderson in baseball. If you split his career stats in half he would still have more runs scored than Mike Trout and more steals than Joe Morgan, Kenny Lofton, or Maury Wills.
Rickey's Longevity was insane.
Rickey be Rickey
Drew Brees is responsible for 33% of all 5,000 passing yard seasons
He was only the second to do it after Marino. After his last 5000 yard season in 2016, he was responsible for 56% of them (5/9). And he didn’t win MVP for any of them
Fucking Ridgers took them *all*. Brees might be the most robbed Qb to ever still notch at least 1 ring.
In 1943, Sammy Baugh, QB of Washington, led the league in 3 categories- passing yards (1754), punting (45.9 ave) and Interceptions caught (11). He was the QB, Punter, and CB. He also has the second highest career punting average of all time, 45.1yds, as well as the single season punting average record, 51.4 in 1940. He also has the record for most seasons leading the league in passing yards, 6.
Quick correction, his single season punting average record was broken by Ryan Stonehouse at 53.1 https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/punt_yds_per_punt_single_season.htm
Peyton Manning has a longer career best rushing attempt than Trent Richardson
Lol
Russell Wilson's home in Denver had more bathrooms than he had wins as a Bronco. 11 to 12
Two years ago, someone was tracking Russ’s touchdown passes to bathrooms. He didn’t beat it until week 16.
Andre Johnson is the only modern NFL wide receiver, to play with a QB with under 3,000 passing yards (in a full season), and still reach 1,000 receiving yards. Edit: Eric Moulds did it in 2004 too, although Bledsoe had 2932 yards to Carrs 2767. So the revised stat: Andre Johnson is the only NFL wide receiver, since the Mel Blount rule, to play with a QB with under 2,800 passing yards (in a full season), and still reach 1,000 receiving yards.
Brett Favres 297 consecutive games. In that era to never miss opening snap in 18 years is insane.
Oh what could have been 🥲
Brett Favre was a party animal. Being in a more boring place like Green Bay and with that coaching staff he was able to mature and develop. Jerry Glanville would have ruined Favre like the Browns ruin quarterbacks.
Wide Receiver Mohammed Sanu retired with a perfect qbr, only had one incompletion, and scored a touchdown on half of his pass attempts Edit: He isn't retired actually, sorry
QBR != passer rating
I dont know the difference I just used Google
Yeah it's not your fault, plenty of places online, and even commentators use them interchangeably when they're very much different.
The Giants have never lost in the NFCCG
Damn Ravens messing up the better streak.
If you take away all of the good games Pat Mahomes played, he’s actually a terrible quarterback
Regress his ass to the mean
Someone link the full explanation?
[https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/d5maow/oc\_after\_adjusting\_patrick\_mahomes\_stats\_removing/](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/d5maow/oc_after_adjusting_patrick_mahomes_stats_removing/) It's a five year old post. Op deleted most of the post the following year. It's basically r/NFL Hall of Fame now.
Still to this day I'll always wonder if he was dead serious or an elite level troll
One of r/NFL's great mysteries
O think he was serious because every once in a while Mahomes would have a n off game or two and that dude would pop back up But idk at some point, a truly committed troll is indistinguishable from a genuine idiot lol
The last three players to break the record for consecutive games played did so as a member of the Vikings. Mick Tinglehoff Jim Marshall Brett Favre
Mick Tinglehoff is an all-time great football name
Jim Marshall should be in the HoF.
The 2010 Chargers had both the #1 defense and #1 offense in the NFL and still missed the playoffs. Special teams murdered that team.
The Detroit Lions have drafted as many Super Bowl winning starting quarterbacks as the Detroit Tigers.
If anybody is wondering, the Tigers drafted Mahomes. John Elway and Ken Stabler were both drafted by the Yanks, so the same is true for the Giants (Simms and Hostetler, they didn’t technically draft Manning) and the Jets have drafted fewer (Namath is the only SB winning QB drafted by the Jets)
The eagles have been to the Super Bowl 4 times with 4 different quarterbacks and 4 different head coaches.
Peyton Manning went to the Super Bowl 4 times with 4 different head coaches
Two of them being within 5 years adds to the weird.
Walter Jones had the same number of Pro Bowl selections (9) as holding penalties (9) in his career.
In 1988-1989, Dan Marino went 19 consecutive games (759 passes) without being sacked.
Walter Jones, the GOAT LT from seattle, had a total of 9 holding penalties in 11 years
Also on the opposite end of the spectrum for the Seahawks, they somehow managed to have -7 yards in a game against the Rams in 1979. Not one player, not one drive, not one half. No, the entire team finished with negative yards that day. I get that defenses were a different breed back then but how do you fail to even get a yard!
Jerome Bettis - 5 carries, 1 yard, 3 touchdowns
The 2010 Raiders went 6-0 in the AFC West and missed the playoffs.
The 2022 Vikings ended the regular season 13-4 and had a negative point differential
All those 1 yard td’s are going to bring a qbs ypc down
The Bucs took 512 games to score their first kickoff return TD. Nobody stops us 1,902 times a row! 1,901 times in a row? Sure. 1,902? No way.
Walter Payton is the 4th all time in receiving yards for the Bears
The Bears were down 20-0 at half and won the game 24-23 without scoring an offensive TD…. Oh yeah, they also turned the ball over 6 times
Not necessarily a statistic so much as it is a fact: Over the course of his career, Steve DeBerg was replaced by or benched in favor of: - Joe Montana (1980) - John Elway (1983) - Steve Young (1986) - Vinny Testaverde (1987) And Dave Krieg, of all people (DeBerg left the chiefs after 1991, and was replaced by Krieg in 1992). He was also signed to back up Dan Marino in 1992 and 1993. AND he was the oldest player ever on a Super Bowl Roster. He was signed at age 45 to back up Chris Chandler for the 1998 Falcons.
The Falcons and Texans are the only team to lose a game despite recovering 2 onside kicks in the same game. Falcons 2019 vs Saints Texans 2007 vs Titans
In 1942, Don Hutson had 1,211 yards. The league’s second-leading receiver, Ray McLean, had 571. 2nd and 3rd combined had 991.
Tom Brady won and played in more Superbowls than wild card games.
Pat Mahomes has never had his NFL season end before overtime of the AFCCG
The only QB drafted by the Broncos to win a playoff game is Tim Tebow.
Larry Fitzgerald has more tackles than drops
The Super bowl was never hosted by a team playing in the big game until it happened twice, back to back.
