Three Colt QBs in Top 10 Passing Seasons Of All Time

[unitaswestand]

I just watched the updated version of the Top 10 Passing Seasons of all time.  They changed the top a few times.  But isn't it such a luxury as Colts fans we have

 

#6 Bert Jones 1976

#3 Peyton Manning 2004

#2 John Unitas 1959

 

Now, once Luck comes up a season on there, we will have complete domination

 

It is so nice to have had so many great QBs .

Wow!  I am impressed.  I have a football signed by Unitas and Manning.  If I meet Luck someday I will have him sign it.

I am actually glad they adjusted this show a bit.  When they first did the show, Manning's 2004 season was #1.  Than when Brady threw 50 TDs, his became #1 on the show. But I am glad they don't just look at a passing season by how many touchdowns someone threw, because it doesn't account for games played and the defenses they played against.  I do think they have it right.   I can't argue with Marino's 1984 season because was head and shoulders above what anyone else was doing at that time.  I am glad they put Manning in front of Brady because Manning had a higher QB rating and could easily thrown 55 TDs had they played like the Patriots did.  So overall, I like the list.  Not sure about Culpepper in there.

Not to mention Manning pulled the throttle back in some of his games while Brady and the Patriots ran up the scores. Peyton could have had a few more TD`s  if the Colts did things that way

I'm glad to see Unitas recognized..In those days, you could basically hold the WRs and you could (and were encouraged to) hit the QB in the knee or in the face,,,to slow him up

 

Even Peyton would bow down to Johnny U....

 

As defending league MVP (Colts won in '38, too) JU had 32 Tds in 12 games in 1959....and he led his side to 24 fourth quarter points in the title game (pre-Super Bowl era) win over the NYGs..

 

When you consider the era, Johnny Unitas is still the No. 1 QB all-time

I didn't even realize Unitas's season in 1959 was so good. This was accomplished when the defenses could still mug you, and it was still a running era. I think the 1959 Championship season sometimes gets overshadowed by the historic 1958 season and Championship win. 1959 ended with a nice 31-16 victory over the NY Giants in Meorial Stadium.

Johnny Unitas, Bert Jones and Peyton Manning. Wow, so them all play and they created a lot of memories and great moments in NFL history.

 

Unitaswestand, is that Tony Lorrick or Eddie Hinton on your icon pic?
