Keep in mind that these passing statistics won 3 Super Bowls.
The NFL is not a passing league.
In his first year as a starter after Mo Lewis crushed Drew Bledsoe, Tom Brady threw for more than 300 yards only twice.
In Brady's first Super Bowl victory in New Orleans, he threw for 145 yards, and 1 TD.
In 2002 the Patriots finished 9-7 but failed to make the playoffs. Brady threw for over 300 yards 3 times.
In 2003 the Patriots won the Super Bowl again, but it wasn't Tom Brady's arm that got them to Houston.
Brady's passing record from 2003 looks like something out of Matt Cassel's career stats.
In 2004 the Patriots won another Super Bowl, and Brady threw for over 300 yards only 2 times all season.
Brady passed for 236 yards against the Eagles and won his third Super Bowl ring in Jacksonville.
In his first 4 years as a starter, Tom Brady passed for over 300 yards only 10 times out of 72 games including the playoffs and won 3 Super Bowls.
Brett Favre passed for a lot of yards, but only has 1 ring.
Peyton Manning would only have 1 ring today if it weren't for a good running game and damn good defense.
Why does Eli Manning have 2 rings in a league that is supposedly dominated by the pass?
If the NFL is such the "passing league," as many suppose it is, then why don't Dan Marino, Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan and Jay Cutler have rings?
The Ravens have 2 Super Bowl wins, and the Steelers have 6.
Just for the hell of it, let's look at Ben Roethlisberger's "prolific," passing stats from 2005 and 2008 when the Steelers won the Super Bowl.
In Super Bowl 40, Ben Roethlisberger completed 9 out of 21 attempts for 123 yards, 0 TD's, 2 Int's and won.
Yes, that really happened.
In 2008, Big Ben finished the regular season with a 59.9% completion percentage, 3,301 yards, 17 TD's and 15 Int's.
Super Bowl Champions!
