Excellent recollection, and very, very close - but not quite. Flutie did indeed lead the Pats in passing once, and only once - in '88, two years after the Pats made it to their first Super Bowl. Highlight may have been the Pats getting a bit of revenge against Da Bearz in a 30-7 rout, with Flutie throwing four touchdowns against the team quarterbacked by Jim McMahon, who had publicly ridiculed Flutie when they were teammates with the Bears.

Answer: Marc Wilson with 1625 yards in 1990.


This was a tough question, because it was such a forgettable player in a season Pats fans would rather not think about. The 1990 Patriots went 0-for October, November, and December, losing 14 in a row. The only win evolved in to the Lisa Olsen incident. Former Raider Marc Wilson took over from injured Steve Grogan before being replaced by rookie Tommy Hodson from LSU. Wilson and Hodson both started and lost six games, with Wilson leading all three in passing with 1625 yards, throwing for 6 touchdowns while being intercepted 11 times.

Morris, Sammy

CanadianPat'sFan

I would say either Welker or Faulk of the top of my head...I just got home from work and a few beers so I am going to go with Faulk. Time to do some research.

Answer: Sammy Morris
Congratulations PatsChamp88

CPF, I thought it would be Faulk also, considering Morris missed a few games and Faulk gets more receptions and returns.

175 - Sammy Morris (156 rushes, 17 receptions, 2 kick returns)
153 - Kevin Faulk (83 rushes, 58 receptions, 2 kick returns, 10 punt returns)
139 - Wes Welker (3 rushes, 111 receptions, 1 kick return, 24 punt returns)

After that it was LaMont Jordan (80), BenJarvus Green-Ellis (77), Matt Cassel (73), and Randy Moss (71)

Wow he had 2 kick returns did not know that

CanadianPat'sFan

It was in the return game that I thought he would have passed Morris but I was wrong. I will dust myself off to redeem myself on another day
