Which record will be harder to break? Cam's or Brees'?

[Fritz88]

Several players came close to breaking Marino's record. Less than that number came close to breaking Manning's rookie record.

Which will be harder to eclipse?

Poll incoming.

There's one game left, I am going to add the average rushing and passing yardage to their current numbers.

[Fritz88]

IMO. I think it will be Cam who breaks Brees' record in the next 4 or 5 years.

His rookie record will be broken, but not before he breaks Brees' record.

Cams will be harder to break because each QB will only have one opportunity to break it and I just don't see many other rookie qbs going what he's doing this year.

$cams will be much more difficult to break IMO.By time Goodell adjusts the rules 2-3 more times guys will be passing for 7,000-8,000 yards a season due to tackling/defense being to rough in the NFL.

Took 13 years to break Manning's record and 27 to beat Marino's. Why would that change?

Common sense.

What about the great Andrew luck if he goes to the colts next year?

I'm going with brees

[BigMeatballDave]

Cam. That may never be broken.

Sick season for a rookie.

Marino broke Fouts' record which was still second going into the 2001 season. Since there have been five QB that have topped that in one decade. This year Marino's record will be broken twice. There is even a chance that two more QB's top Fouts. I expect the record to be broken several times in the next few years barring rules changes which would bring more balance.

Brees record will be broken! The game has shifted toward relying so heavily on passing! I wouldn't be surprised at all if someone broke it next year. Maybe he will break it himself!

[Canofbier]

I voted for Cam's if nothing else because you included his rushing total as well. It's extremely rare that any quarterback has the ability to EITHER pass for that many yards in his first year or run for that many yards at all; that someone will be able to come in and do both in their first year anytime soon seems awfully unlikely.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

4800 combined passing and rushing as a rookie will be MUCH harder to break. Not even close really.

[Rain Man]

I think Newton's record will be harder out of sheer volume. Every year there are 30 guys (I'm not counting Cassel and Tebow) who set out to break Marino's record. There might be one guy who starts 16 games as a rookie, and probably not that many. The numbers make Newton's record more defensible.

[Bump]

Brees record will be broken every other year with all of the rule changes and everything. Cam's will hold for a long time.

[Kerberos]

Brady and Rogers are very close NOW. If they rest Brees next week and Brady and Rogers have big games...One or BOTH could break Brees's record yet this season.

[Brock]

Brady could catch him this year.

Newton's record won't be broken for a long, logn time.

Heh, thread fail ...

Gaz option, because in today's videogame flag-football NFL both of those records will go by the wayside. The league is now full of freakishly athletic players at both the QB and WR position, the rules are set up to make it a passing league (defenders can't defend, or even breathe on the QB), and these young QBs come into the league after having run a pass-oriented spread offense for years in college and even HS.

Passing yardage now just doesn't mean what it did then.
