@@Tone22845probably not quite as dominant of a season, but I could see Davante Adams putting up over 1000 yards and like 8 tds in 2 seasons at 33 lol, and Adam thielen had a pretty good age 33 season with the dogshit panthers last year
There was something going on in 1995! Go back to 1993 and passing numbers were as expected. Then they had a boost in 1994 and exploded in 1995, only to slide right back to normal in 1996 and beyond. It's no coincidence that two of these seasons happen in '95.
Jerry Rices entire career in the 80s and 90s are filled with seasons better than any wide receiver playing today. And a 1200 yard season at 40 is far more impressive than anything Brady did in his 40s. Jerry Rice has a strong argument of being the greatest football player that ever lived and his numbers are untouchable
@@chrisparente3446 I appreciate your ability to recite stats but I’m aware. An important distinction, and the point I’m trying to make is still having seperation ability at 40. Taking way more hits, the physical fitness and speed required to be productive at receiver is not required to play quarterback. Your mind, and your arm for that matter doesnt go at 40. Your body’s resilience, ability to recover, athleticism does. Things that aren’t required near as much at quarterback, especially for Brady as he was never a John Elway type to begin with. Quarterback is still a thinking man’s position even though it’s been dumbed down to cater to the RPO, tuck and run after the first read type quarterbacks of today
@solidsnake7167 if your arm and body don't go at 40, why is Brady the only one that has been able to be that successful like rice? Not taking anything away from Jerry because you are right, but to say Bradys isn't impressive either is odd
1700 yards in a 14 game (averaging almost 125 yards per game) season is crazy! Especially in the run dominant and nasty defense of the 1960s NFL. All others pale in comparison in the modern day arcade game NFL. It’s not a coincidence that all others on this list came in 1995 or after. Two to three more games vs what Hennigan had to contend with and an NFL that has become focused on offense and the passing game! Crazy Legs Elroy Hirsch would likely have been on this list if he had played in a 14 game season. In 1951 he averaged almost 125 yards per game.
Personally, I think Kupp will be fine. Yes he's had some injuries the last two seasons, but if Stafford stays healthy and with defense having to hella respect Puka, I say 65-80 catches, 1,000-1,200 yards, and about 6-8 TDs
It really was. To understand how obscene the receiving stats were that year - 9 players had over 101 receptions. 4 players had over 1600yds receiving. 2-players had 17 receiving touchdowns, and neither were 1st team All-Pro. Oh, and Larry Centers (a fullback) had 101 receptions for 962yds. A FULLBACK!!!
@PurpleMonkeyDishwasher88 bro 23 recievers had 1000 yards and over 11 receivers had 10 or more tds that's crazy 23 had 8 tds or more damn!!! No lie 2015 is nice too just not better than 1995
Catching passes from 3 different QBs. The only time I ever won my fantasy league is when I picked up Josh Gordon off the waiver wire that year. I also drafted the bears defense which was scoring at an alarming rate. Those 2 carried my team that year.
Stafford threw TWO WR's to the mark...and yet somehow, still gets more disrespect than any QB I can think of. I guess hard work and actual passing skill isn't worth tipping the hat to anymore.
Kupp didn't just have one of if not the best regular seasons of a WR ever, he had the definitive best WR Postseason ever all in 1 season. This guy had 2425 yards combined (Regular+Post) no one else has even broke 2000, he has a lead of 400 yards on every receiver ever.
Lamb's season was especially busted (in a good way) because he only put up 358 yards and 1 TD over his first 5 games as the offense bogged down with Mike McCarthy's ill-advised Texas Coast offense (which forced the ball out quickly for no good reason). Once the offense changed things up (12 games), he went for 108 catches, 1391 receiving yards, and 11 TDs, which would make for an excellent full season line.
Megatron and rice, I think are legit 1700 yard receivers. In this day and age all WR are good receivers. Everything is set up for big numbers cause of rules.

Matthew Stafford was able to escape something or someone called the Detroit Lions to finally feel like a winner instead of being cursed with losing. Unfortunately, this didn't happen for Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson.
The Cupp season was the only time I've gone undefeated. Had Herbert, Cupp, Jonathan Taylor, Eckler, Kelce, Traded for Devante Adam's..Had 5 backs in top 7, and 4 receivers in top 5.

Hill was on pace for 2,000 until late season nagging injuries, also he missed a game but also was taken out of a game early bc of injury so it's almost like he did it missing 2 games
Not a chance he gets to 2000. Calvin had 200 targets to get there, Tyreek has had 170 the last two seasons. I think it will drop, & it will drop even more now that they signed Waddle to a big contract, no way Tyreek gets 200 targets

you need to convert these to average YPG instead of totals. Given that the # of games per season changes over time, the better stat is average YPG. I believe 1961 was the first season with 14 games.
Just some constructive criticism, you seem to stick to a template format for each player in your videos. Brief intro-how they did to start the season-best game-awards. You miss a lot of cool details doing this. For example, you didnt mention Megatrons legendary game against the Cowboys, how Julio's falcons dethroned the Panthers perfect season after he mossed Kuechly for prob his best career play, or Jefferson's game against the Bills which was his best game and where he put up his amazing one hander. These details make the video a lot cooler and show a lot more context than just sticking to a template.
