The NFL is turning to a passing league with great speed, But why have we turned this way? Just last season Chris Johnson almost passed the NFL single season record for rushing yards. When was the last time in NFL history that someone almost beat the Passing mark for the season(Not counting Drew Brees)?
in 2001 Kurt Warner passed for 4,830 yards with the rams
and then in 2007 Tom Brady made 4,806. Each being over 200 yards for the record.
But if you look at rushing last year Chris Johnson ran for 2,006 yards.
Jamal Lewis Ran for 2,066 yards in 2003, and in 1998 Terrell Davis ran for 2,008 yards.
The numbers don't look that for off for me. The only difference I can see is the touchdown numbers.
In football the only thing that counts is winning, and to win you need to score more than your opponent. And in the NFL the best way to score is a Touchdown. The current NFL record for TD passes in a season is 50 by Tom Brady in 2007, The most rushing TD is 28 by LaDainian Tomlinson in 2006. Thats a 22 touchdown difference.
By the way it looks Quarterbacks are improving in the overall game while runningbacks are just not the same. Today's QB is way better than the old. and The old RB's are better than the new.
Or is it that QB's have the reffs on their side?
