And honestly, I could see Ben doing it this year considering how terrible our defense is. Matt Schaub took five quarters to hit 527 and ended the game on a 60+ yard walk off Andre Johnson TD. Back when Schaub was competent. Those were nice days. As far as this season, I've gotta think Goff or Mahomes in Mexico City. That's gonna be a fireworks show.

Mahomes has the benefit of a HC/OC that doesn’t like to use his RB. But yeah Big Ben / Brady / Brees have run games that limit the pass game ceiling. And Brady will kill D’s with 10-12 play drives, death by 100 small cuts. Same with Goff (although he can go quick strike as needed, both he and Brady are patient enough to use run / short pass game to kill D’s). Need gunslingers with bad D, non-existent run games and quick strike weapons they lean on. Mahomes is the only guy that fits the bill out of Brees/Brady/Ben/Goff. Mahomes / Winston / Watson for the W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Watson if his OL was better. He's more likely to get sacked 20 times in a game vs throwing for 554... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that’s the issue with Watson. 70 pressures in 6 games when #2 in the NFL is 45, that is just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Steve McNair in his last years in TN all over again - just getting beat up at a legitimately frightening rate. But, instead of a 7+ year vet, we're talking about a guy who will be starting his 12th game this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit In Black Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 6 hours ago, FourThreeMafia said: Our new DC can get pretty pass happy as well, especially if the run game isnt working early. Panthers, Chargers, Raiders, Patriots and the Saints are the games it could most likely happen in IMO. Unlikely because the Steelers will put that game out of reach early. Derek dink & dunk won’t be able to keep up offensively. I see 300+ for Ben though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 It won't be Brady because he usually gets sat if we're destroying a team like that, unless it's close. I always wondered if he'd have broken a record with his 5TDs in one quarter game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 When Warren Moon almost broke it in 1990, he did so against a quality defense in the Chiefs. Receivers just made plays, and raced towards the endzone or for big gains. And the Oilers led that entire game. So it could happen if any defense, especially in this era, just has a complete breakdown. I will say, the staple of their offense at the time was to pass regardless of the situation. A team in that kind of situation now, runs the ball in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asciimo Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Matthew Stafford? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddyboy Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 QB in a high caliber offense vs a team in a death spiral. Van Brocklin set that record in 1951 vs the NY Yanks which had emerged from the AAFC as the Bulldogs and reorganized. Several QBs included John Rauch, who later coached the Raiders in SB 2, George Taliaferro black QB who helped Indiana U win the only Big Ten title. The Yanks folded after that season. The LA Rams were loaded with hof talent in a 5 year dynasty run. No modern team wants to lose to that record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady, Mahomes, Brees and Big Ben have all the weapons and gunslinger mentality to break it. It'll probably be average QB who likes to throw alot though and in a losing effort. This record speaks true testaments to just how far ahead of their time the 50s Rams receiving corps were. They were running 5 WR sets at a time where that type of offensive formation was unprecedented. I cannot believe that record has stood for almost 70 years in today's pass happy league. It's a shame that it has to be broken eventually. I still put this accomplishment on the same pedestal that I put Marino's 5000 yard season in 1984, which is pretty much an unattainable one for everyone else that's played the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk9erfan Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Goff could do it this weekend against the Niners secondary. Hope to hell I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
