Thats clearly unfair to exceptional players on bad teams who dont make the playoffs or get knocked out in the first round (Barry Sanders, etc.). Ofcourse you could say, "well if they were so great they should have lead their team further", but we all know by having the greatest qb of all time who never got a ring, thats not always how it works.
Marino played in 1 more game....is that far? the way Peyton was going last year he prolly would of thrown for 3 TDs in another game.

I beg to differ. Dan Marino has the single season TD record. Peyton Manning has the regular season TD record. I am sure the NFL knows this. Can you provide a link?

Marino threw 7 TD's in his first 2 playoff games that season, including 4 in the AFC championship game against the Steelers. Peyton Manning had 0 TD in his second (and final) postseason game last season. Anything else you wanted to add?

It is common knowledge that Peyton Manning threw 49 TD's in the regular season and Dan Marino threw 48 TD's in the regular season. Do YOU not think that the postseason stats should be factored into the equation? How can you honestly say that postseason stats do not count when determining overall statistics? Does that make sense to you? It is still the SAME SEASON!!!

You asked for a link, and I gave it to you. The playoffs shouldn't count towards the season TD's. What if Marino didn't make the playoffs the year he threw 48. Would you still want Peyton's TD's to count?

it means something to you?
so because Peyton threw 0 TDs in the last game...that means he will throw under 3 the next game? hilarous:rofl3:

cash in fist: NFL stats have ALWAYS been recorded as single-season records. there are many reasons why this was done, but for a glaring one i can give you this: number of games played. Say you are a great player on a crappy team... should you be limited from ever appearing in the record books because your team doesn't make it to the playoffs? Look at LT in '03 - snubbed from ProBowl because his team was 4-12... yet he had amazing stats. Is it fair to rate other RBs over him because they played throughout the playoffs and got more yards? its not. LT had more rushing yards that year than many playoff team RBs... but the playoff team RBs had more yards if you add the playoff games.... this doesn't mean they were better, just had more opportunities... not everyone gets to play in playoff games, so the playing field is NOT even... not fair to all players.
second, stats have ALWAYS been recorded as regular season-only.... if you were to change that stat, you would have to go back through over 50 years of recordkeeping to change everything.
what you are saying, yes is technically true, but for all intents and purposes of record keeping, it is NOT true.
the rules have always been regular season - makes no sense to change it to something in your favor for your QB.
