Domes, more games, belief of passing selling tickets, tightened roughing the passer rules, stricter interference rules more athletic receivers have all contributed to the gaudy numbers posted by modern quarterbacks. I believe QB is one position that would be competitive over decades of time. The biggest asset to a QB is intelligence and decision making. Those skills haven't changed much. So you take manning and Brady. I will stick with moon, fouts , Marino, Starr, Unitas, staubach and Dawson.

I do understand that a couple of these guys benefitted from some of the "advances" pointed out in my first sentence. Give Marino or Fouts the dominating defense and they change the stat books forever
