When did Edgerin James win the SB?
I confused him with Marshall Faulk. Brain fart. Seen one former Colt you've seen them all.

Because for one, no QB on that list is named Tom Brady. On the dome stat, no dome team has ever advanced to a Superbowl having to win the conference title game OUTDOORS. Its been attempted 10 times. And there's a reason its never been done. They're DOME teams.

The NFL's passing yardage leader has never gone on to win the Super Bowl in the same season.

Truly -- you find the fact that in the super bowl era the league leader in passing yardage has never won the super bowl? I find that tremendously interesting, and, since our team has that guy this year, certainly as relevant as stuff posted here all the time.
While stats can frequently be misleading, the fact that in 41 years this has not happened is, well, stunning. I can't believe it, in fact. How has this never happened? It's shocking.
I think it tends to support the notion that a balanced offense is important.
I wonder how many times the league leader in rushing yards has won the super bowl. I can think of at least a few in recent history -- Edgerin James, Emmet Smith, Terrell Davis, I think. I bet there have been several in the past 42 years. But not one QB yardage leader.
That's amazing.
kinda. Stats are just that. Stats. Indy can beat us in the AFCCCG (if we get there). Brady can win the SB this year. Just because it hasn't happened (the nature of the NFL makes stats bad, very small sample size), doesn't mean it can't. Thats my real point

Nice thread hijack. There was already a thread about this. The thread was intended to be about how well dome teams do outside domes.

you should ask how many team have led the NFL in points and won the SB - there have been quite a few.
I mean in 1999 Kurt Warner finished 80 yards behind the passing leader (he finished 2nd with 4353), and the Rams won the SB. do you think if he had thrown for 85 more yards in the regular season they wouldn't have won the SB?
and last year Peyton Manning finished 21 yards behind Drew Brees. good thing he didn't throw for 22 more yards!!
Sorry for raining on your parade. Who died and left you as god?
Actually, he does kind of have a point. You did deflect the discussion away from the original point and there is already a thread about your topic.
None of those teams went 16-0, either. Among other things, the Patriots are setting a precedent for breaking old precedents.why it any more or less important than the dome stat?

Interestingly enough, no 16-0 team, has ever won the super bowl.
