IF Healthy Can Tua Challenge Dan The Man's 5 K Yards?

Marino would throw for 7,000 yards in today's NFL and I'm being dead serious

I'm with you. He was getting clobbered due to no halo of protection. WRs weren't the polished athletes they are now. No gecko hymen gloves you can catch a cold with.

Not only that, DBs were allowed to put their hands on receivers all the way down the field.

It was like an alley fight just to get separation.

Wow. Didn't realize Nathan had 61 receptions. That could be where Achane contributes the most early on. I'd think Mostert and Wilson get the lion's share of carries.

Nathan was a great receiver out of the backfield

If you transported Patrick Mahomes back to 1984, do you think he could throw for 5k with Duper & Clayton?

Anyhow, as has been pointed out, it’s a much different game now that makes passing so much easier than back then. I expect Tua to rip it for 4500 yards and 35+ TDs

Probably. Those two could’ve put up numbers in any era.

I say no.

Not only were rules different for WRS, rules were different with how you could hit the QBS.

I would be curious to see how long Mahommes is able to run around and take the hits allowed in the 80's/90's
