Don't know if ya'll caught it, but with all the pundits pointing out that Brees got the record "with an asterisk" because the rules are different now for defenses against the quarterback and the wide receivers...MNF had a great stat that even made ME feel better.

I was actually wrapped up in the story of how Brees has had a lot easier time making his yardage, due to the stricter rules on defenses, protecting the quarterback, and wide receivers.

Then they showed a stat about the averages for passing yardage for QB's in 1984. Marino was 80% more than the average passing yards for QB's in 1984. Brees is 95% ahead of the average passing yards for BB's in 2011.

This puts the records on equal footing!! And Brees has done it in 15 games. I really wish THIS stat accompanied all the other asterix comments.
