***Drew Brees Season Passing Yards Record***

Dan Marino needed only 564 attempts to compile a single season record 5,084 yard passing in 1984. Drew Brees has thrown 19 more passes before kick off tonight. Yes, e will still have the record and yes it will be a great achievement. But, like any great record comes a debate. Like the All-Time home run record in MLB. The Babe needed less games than Maris and Mantle to get 62.

So, it's only fair to wonder what Marino would have had with say--another 60-80 attempts, well since Dan the Man averaged a ridiculous 9 yards per pass which is so Tecmo bowl good. He would have had another 540 yards at with 60 attempts.

My all time Marino game was hanging 38 on those 85 Bears and their big bad defense.


Brees will break Marino's passing record...but he is no Marino, and that is a fact.

You are a Party Pooper!

I call em' like I see em'.

You're right, he's no Marino...Marino never won a Super Bowl.  

If it's fewer games, than yes, there can be a debate. If both played exact same number of games, 16, then you're a complete moron and should be banned.

Smartest thing you've said in this forum to date

You're wrong on this one- both are impressive- If he keeps it up, Brees will be considered just as good as Marino if not better-

Payton Manning lost that Super Bowl...lets get that str8 at least.

Now this is a funny post!

I must say that is some funny shit. I'm sending a friend request to you...we should hang out and you know, just get crazy and rap or something.

I agree if Marino had more attempts he would have alot more yardage but he didn't. I think Danny had better receivers then Drew when he did it but the thing thats most impressive to me is he did it in his 2nd year in the league.

Brees is not in the same conversation as Marino. Everbody falls in love with the new guy,Marino is top 3 or 5 of all time,Brees isn't even close

what alot of people who try and compare the old to the new never understand or just dnt want to admit is that, back then there was not  20 DE who ran 4.6  40s or 20 LB that were 6'3  250, ...the old will never compare to the new in any sport, the technology in sports training, nutrition, food, weights, etc...it cant compare.  i know all you old schoolers wnt ever be able to admit it but its the truth. there is always gnna be someone better than the last guy. period point blank!

Marino could hit the school bus from his front yard left handed in pre-school....gimme a break   

Brees will kill marino's record by over 500 yards so stop the hating and just enjoy this historic night

The league caters to passing, when Marino played you get your head knocked off with no flags and the illegal contact box rules were not even a thought.

I never stated if I think Marino is better because I thought that went without saying. Brees isn't even in the same galaxy as Dan Marino in NFL Lore.

I just was making a point that he had more chances to break it which is true--he threw more passes than Marino.

Emmitt Smith has the rushing record big fucking deal. Everyone knows Barry Sanders was the best RB ever anyway. It's all just "Fluf" any way.

In 1984 you could still hit the qb and celebrate after a td.......

Marino in his prime was better than Brees is or will ever be. Period.

yes and the reason he didnt get to face them in the superbowl was because he laid an egg in the championship game at home

20-48   248 yards  2 tds and 2 picks 

In 1984 you didnt have 275 pound beasts running 4.4 40s neither

This is a single season record NOT a career record......who cares who had a better career.

Maris was no Babe Ruth.....he holds (held) the single season record.
Who cares that Ruth had a better career??

Brees crushes Marino's single season record.......FACT!!

Brees jersey cant get dirty in 2011....between the refs and the dome.....

Thats how good Dan was.....
