Heard Florio interviewed as he normally is Wednesday mornings by 1090AM in San Diego. He pointed out that top passing yardage season performances by QBs dont equal Lombardis and that he would post up that fact asap:

Our corporate cousin Tom Curran of CSNNE.com recently pointed out something that quickly has become my favorite factoid of the week. The top 10 single-season passing yardage performances in NFL history came from men whose big numbers did not result in the biggest possible prize: a Super Bowl win.

Ditto for the top 20 single-season passing yardage performances.

And for the top 30.

In fact, it’s not until No. 34 on the list that the quarterback who generated big yardage won the Super Bowl — Peyton Manning in 2006, with 4,397. Next, at No. 35, Drew Brees and the Saints won the title in 2009, with Brees throwing for 4,388 yards.

Panther related because with the hysteria of Cam' production we still need to get our tandem running game going in symbiosis to get where we ultimately want to go.

I know there is much Florio hate here but he is useful as a gatherer of information.

i think the top two under appreciated stats to winning the SB is third down conversions in the 4th quarter and red zone defense.

oh and lets throw in length of drives in the 2nd half. that tells us two things. how good one offense is and how fresh the other d is.

I totally disagree, just out of the top five players you have the top passer in the Super Bowl or just at the doorstep. Even the year when the top passer missed the Super Bowl, the winning team had a passer in the top ten. What they didn't have at the top, a running back in rushing yards.

1. Lost superbowl

2. superbowl team 2nd in passing and if Brees did not have a freakish year it would have been first.

3. Lost superbowl

4. Lost superbowl

5. Lost conference championship, superbowl winning QB was 8th, superbowl winning RB not in top 10.

Like that point wasn't made when u lost the two games where Cam was high scoring...

Mike kills me with his desire to make a shallow point. We all know winning isn't based solely on high passing counts but it helps when ur QB can do their job in the passing the department so when the rest of the team gels u hopely got a Superbowl winning team.

      Many layers my frend- Panthers had a draft recently. They picked 4 defense players. Each player picked 11, 22, 33, 55 as their number. For some players that number match the round or pre-draft round rank, example- Prince was a 3rd rounder and choose 33. Nic was a 1st rounder on some mock drafts and Dan Morgan said they had him as a 1st, he picked 11. Cam Jackson recently switched his number to 55, same as draft and has been telling Dave he wants to be special over and over.  The 44 was to add GOAT feels, thoughts, and more intrigue to this rookie phenomenon. X files cause it was a great TV show and maybe it was playing when this theory came together.......   I hope this helps!

      The best things Purdy has are certainly important tools for any QB. His accuracy his timing his decision making etc. I feel like he is a high end Teddy Bridgewater. You can compete and win in the regular season with this especially in a weakened NFC but where his limitations come into focus is when you are trying to contend for a Super Bowl you are going against elite and in some instances generational QB's like Mahomes. And when the time has come for him to go up against Mahomes he simply can't get it done. Now certainly he is not alone in that regard and people will point to another highly regarded QB such as Josh Allen who also cannot get by Mahomes. But the difference I see is Allen is not IMO at a phsyical disadvantage in that matchup whereas Purdy is. And that is with what had been to this point a comically stacked roster around Purdy and let's be clear we cannot understate that regardless of which side of the fence we land on in this debate. Purdy has had a top 5 roster and a top 5 coach. And the last time they went to the Super Bowl they leaned on McCaffrey extremely heavily. Now with what they are having to pay him and divert limited resources elsewhere they face a steep climb to get back to the Super Bowl let alone actually win it.

      Lonzo mentioned Melo going to the Clippers, but he also said we would draft Dylan Harper and he isn't making it to 4.
