    Obviously, all of these teams had either a great QB our a great play-maker like Randy Moss, etc. We have some good play-makers, but as much as I like Matt Moore, I guess we still have some questions there going forward. Let's hope Philbin can get some similar production here and make the Phins more of an explosive offense. :up:

    Too much of an arbitrary designation for my taste. It's correlation amongst a very small sample size. In the next 100 years, the NFL will finally start to have enough data to find statistical trends.

    He's not wrong. The NFL has existed for 91 years. It took until 1983, 63 years after the formation of the league for an offense to break the 540 barrier. It took another 15 years for it to happen again. In the 29 years since it happened the first time, it's only happened 5 additional times. And if you want to get technical you can throw out 2 of them (this past year's Saints and Packers) because there are no future results to draw a comparison to. So you're left with 4 occurrences over 91 years and only 2 of those by offensive coordinators. So you have Brian Billick and Josh McDaniels as your only real comparisons. Do you really think that's an adequate sample size to try to interpret any sorts of patterns or correlations from? This is just another off-season fluff piece. We'll see a lot of them until August.
