    If there’s one thing zn has drilled into wv-head over the years, itz this: If an NFL QB has had a good year, the team probly had a good running game. And if an NFL QB had a bad year, it mite-behoove-one to look at the running game.

    So my question is, can anyone think of some exceptions to that. Can we come up with some great season long performances by QBs who had pathetic running games?

    4. Since no once could agree on the realignment of the NFC after the AFL/NFL merger, the five best plans were put into a vase and Pete Rozelle’s secretary selected one at random.

    15. Pete Rozelle was voted NFL commissioner on the 23rd ballot.

    22. Sammy Baugh once led the NFL in passing, punting and defensive interceptions in the same season.

    23. The 2000 Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens had a five-game stretch in which they didn’t score a touchdown and their only points were field goals by Matt Stover (14 in all). The team went 2-3 in that run of offensive ineptitude, but only lost one other game all season, setting an NFL record with 165 points allowed and almost scoring as many points in Super Bowl XXXV (34) as they did in that historic five-game stretch (42).

    36. Franchises in Houston have experienced the worst single-season drop-offs in NFL history. The 1993 Oilers followed up a 12-4 season with a 2-14 turn in 1994 that included QB starts by Billy Joe Tolliver, Cody Carlson and Bucky Richardson, names that evoke, well, a 2-14 season. Then, in 2012 and 2013, the Texans pulled the same trick, including the quarterback name thing. Case Keenum went 0-8 in ’13.

    42. Steve Young is the only left-handed quarterback in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

    50. Andrew Luck already has more playoff passing yards than two-time Super Bowl champion Bart Starr.

    59. An older unbreakable mark: Paul Krause’s 81 interceptions. The active leader is Charles Woodson, with 61. The only other active player in the top 100 is DeAngelo Hall.

    61. The top five players in NFL history according to pro-football-reference’s career approximate value: Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Jerry Rice, Fran Tarkenton and Reggie White.

    I actually don’t remember ever saying that. I’m not even sure it’s true. For example Marino had some great seasons passing, with a mediocre running game in many of those years.

    I think you’re thinking of the OTHER zn.
