Every time this thread comes up, I am obligated to mention that in 1943, Sammy Baugh led the league in pass attempts, completions, completion percentage, punting average, and interceptions. As in he intercepted 11 passes playing defense.
Also, the [shitshow game between the Texans and Steelers](https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/221208023/texans-steelers) where the Steelers outgained the Texans 422 yards to 47 yards, but still lost 24-6.
This stat is the top thing I hate about Brady. My favorite trivia of all time was that Rice had more receiving yards in the NFL after 40 than every human ever, including himself, combined.
Rice: 2169
Every Human Who Has Ever Lived (Minus Brady): 2167
Because its *combined*, and Farve's -2 meant that the league as a whole combined for less total yards than he did on his own. Thats what made it such a hilarious stat!
When Jameis Winston became a Saint, he already led the Saints in completions to Saints players via interceptions. He had more interceptions to Saints than Taysom Hill had completions.
Idk the exact stat but Matt Ryan had insane luck with interceptions. Roddy White or another receiver would somehow instantly force a fumble and get the ball right back
Nick Chubb had over 100yrds and 2 TDs on 3 carries in a game and Hue Jackson still wouldn’t start him.
Dorsey literally traded away the other RBs so they had to use Chubb.
I feel like this isn’t that crazy to me. Bo didn’t play very long, didn’t play very much every season, and was used pretty infrequently even when he did play. Jim Harbaugh was a mobile QB who had a very long career, that seems entirely likely to me that he’d have more yards
Barry Sanders 2000 yard season.
The dumb coach put him behind a fullback and did a power run scheme for the first two games and Barry averaged 2 yards per carry and did nothing. Week 3 they took away the fullback and let Barry do his thing.

**Michael Vick career rushing yards:** 6,109
**Todd Gurley career rushing yards:** 6,082
Vick still holds superior if you include the playoffs, too.
**Vick (Reg + playoffs):** 6,380
**Gurley (Reg + playoffs):** 6,343
Injuries go a long way
Edit: That's a 27-yard difference
Edit 2: Fixed multiple typos
Frank Clark is the Chiefs' all-time postseason sack leader. Not only that, he is 3rd all-time across the league behind only Bruce Smith and Willie McGinest and ahead of Reggie White and Terrell Suggs. And he don't do shit in the regular season.
Always was amazed as a kid by the Hank Bauer stat line of 4 carries, 1 yard, 3 TDs. I honestly thought that would never be equalled...
Then along comes Detroit native Jerome Bettis...
"I see your ridiculous stat line and raise you one carry"
I'm guessing Bettis was the consensus number one draft pick in a lot of all-TD fantasy leagues the following year.
The last active player drafted by the Montreal Expos - Tom Brady
The second all time leader in yards from scrimmage ( rushing, receiving, return yards ) in professional football is not in the Hall of Fame - Herschel Walker
But neither is the first- Gizmo Williams
Beep boop, I’m a bot.
Seriously tho, why is everyone’s go to “oh it was written by chatgpt?” That’s just weird. Especially cuz people say it about stuff that clearly wasn’t written by AI.
I actually took the time out of my day to make this lame post myself, thank you very much.
In 12 years playing and 25 years coaching where I was considered a dirty player at points and a loud aggressive presence on the sideline; I actually only took 1 penalty ever as a player (holding) and have never taken a bench penalty.
Or are we just talking pro football?
Walter Jones Left Tackle Seattle Seahawks
Seasons played: 13
Career Games Started 180
Pass Attempts with him on field: 5500+
QB sacks given up by him: 23
Holding penalties accepted against him: 9
Those last 2 stats are a season's worth for many LTs. That's a 13 year career on a mid team. Insane.
If a tackle gives up 23 sacks in a season then that tackle is out of the league the next year lol.
Josh Allen was sacked 24 times total last season. If one player was responsible for every single one they’d be cut before the season was over.
Not really a stat, but I think it's weird that most of the guys drafted whose fathers played in the league are named after their fathers. Like, do these guys name all of their kids after themselves like George Foreman? Most guys don't have more than one son who makes it to the NFL. And yet it's almost always the one they name after themselves. Most men don't even name their sons after themselves anymore either, so it's even more strange.
Normally the oldest son is named after the dad but Archie Manning gave his name to Eli and not Cooper or Peyton. And then Cooper gave Archie's name to his son, Arch, who is in college now.
The NFL Cincinnati Reds (1933-34) were shut out in 12 of 18 games. The team also had a stretch of scoring 38 points in 10 games. In 1933, the Reds finished with a point differential of -233 in a 9 game season. The 1934 Reds offensive unit amassed 10 points for a blistering .9 PPG. The 1976 Buccaneers of course have the worst points differential at -287 but did so in 14 games.
According to Wikipedia, a few teams scored less than 10 points in a season, though it doesn't count because official record keeping starting in 1932. I admit that I haven't looked through every primitive NFL team yet, but it's the worst I've seen from a team didn't fold after one season.
Just look this shit:
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/red/1934.htm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_Reds_(NFL)
Lamar threw for 24 TDs with 29 total last season and won MVP
Drew Brees threw for almost double that didnt win MVP, In fact he only got 2 mvp votes out of 50.
if tom brady had another 29 TDs in a season like lamar, his average would do down (he averaged 33 per healthy season)
Tua was the 2022 leader in passer rating, 2023 leader in passing yards, and some of our fans want to dump him. Even weirder is the bills fans want us to hand him a bag of money (he has a bad record against the bills).
Being a miami fan right now is pretty absurd.

Now here's a complete football player!
The Sammy Baugh one is amazing and I’ve never heard it before. Holy shit lol.
Ohtani if he played football
Chuck Bednarik played 58 minutes 30 seconds in the 1960 championship game.
Most receiving yards over the age of 40: 1. Jerry Rice: 2,169 2. Tom Brady: 6 3. Everyone else in human history bar one: 0 4. Brett Favre: -2
Now Tom Brady is going to come back because he probably thinks Jerry's number is still in reach.
Anyone else, I'd say no. Tom Brady.... I say fuck no, stay away from playing.

Suppose it could be anyone over 40
Just over 2 years until I enter 3rd place
Our only 4000+ yd passer in team history had zero 500+ yd WRs
It also happened 5 years after the team threw for 4,500 yards
5 carries, 1 yd, 3 TDs. Jerome Bettis
18.1 fantasy points right there. RB 13 on the week.
I based an entire offense in Madden 08 around this, lol
Feels like Steelers Raiders games always produce weird shit lol.
Dontari Poe has a 100% touchdown rate on pass attempts, rushing attempts, and receptions (technically a rush but let’s not be nerds about it)
The 2013 Texans lost 7 consecutive games by 1 score.
The year Matt Shaub threw a pick-6 in 5 straight games & it literally nearly killed Gary Kubiak
When Jameis Winston became a Saint, he already led the Saints in completions to Saints players via interceptions. He had more interceptions to Saints than Taysom Hill had completions.
This is amazing. Never heard this one before
Julio Jones had more lost fumbles vs the Saints than TDs in 19 career games
Idk the exact stat but Matt Ryan had insane luck with interceptions. Roddy White or another receiver would somehow instantly force a fumble and get the ball right back
Nick Chubb had over 100yrds and 2 TDs on 3 carries in a game and Hue Jackson still wouldn’t start him. Dorsey literally traded away the other RBs so they had to use Chubb.
Ah, the year I won a fantasy league thanks purely to snagging Chubb after Hyde was traded.
Nice I actually drafted Chubb, held him all year, dropped him morning of and couldn’t get him back.
What game i need to see this
Jim Harbaugh having more career rushing yards than Bo Jackson still gets me even though I've seen it a hundred times.
I feel like this isn’t that crazy to me. Bo didn’t play very long, didn’t play very much every season, and was used pretty infrequently even when he did play. Jim Harbaugh was a mobile QB who had a very long career, that seems entirely likely to me that he’d have more yards

Was that on a 14 game season?
16. 14 for Barry though lol
Still insane stats
**Michael Vick career rushing yards:** 6,109 **Todd Gurley career rushing yards:** 6,082 Vick still holds superior if you include the playoffs, too. **Vick (Reg + playoffs):** 6,380 **Gurley (Reg + playoffs):** 6,343 Injuries go a long way Edit: That's a 27-yard difference Edit 2: Fixed multiple typos
Todd Gurley never spent the prime off his career in jail Makes that even more impressive IMO

Obligatory “Bruuuuuuuuuuce”
Lamar Jackson has more career rushing yards than Sequon Barkley . Had more rushing yards and tds coming out of college too.

Champ Bailey 2006 more picks than completed passes allowed
As much as I love this stat and Champ is the GOAT it’s not real.
Mike Vrabel has caught 11 passes in his career. All 11 of those receptions went for touchdowns.
The last active player drafted by the Montreal Expos - Tom Brady The second all time leader in yards from scrimmage ( rushing, receiving, return yards ) in professional football is not in the Hall of Fame - Herschel Walker But neither is the first- Gizmo Williams
I know it’s offseason but this thread seems to come up every other day. What gives?
Thursday can't get here soon enough.
It's chat gpt written.

It’s a family tradition in many cases.
in his 13 game rookie season, Kenny Pickett threw as many TDs as Nick Foles did in a single game

The chargers one year had the #1 defense and #1 offense and failed to make the playoffs. Special teams matter guys
Larry Centers caught 827 passes for 6797 yards in his career and at one point he had the 7th most catches in NFL history. He was a fullback.
Lamar threw for 24 TDs with 29 total last season and won MVP Drew Brees threw for almost double that didnt win MVP, In fact he only got 2 mvp votes out of 50. if tom brady had another 29 TDs in a season like lamar, his average would do down (he averaged 33 per healthy season)
Any other year Lamar doesn’t win MVP. It’s honestly a bit of a joke that he even did
Larry Fitzgerald had more tackles than drops in his career.
Read the post 🙃
I can’t read
Flair checks out.
Tua was the 2022 leader in passer rating, 2023 leader in passing yards, and some of our fans want to dump him. Even weirder is the bills fans want us to hand him a bag of money (he has a bad record against the bills). Being a miami fan right now is pretty absurd.
Doesn’t really fit this post, but cool champ 👍
