It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Different eras and I have no idea what Starr would have done in a Paul Brown, Weeb Ewbank -type offense where he would throw it 400 times a year but that wasn't the system Lombardi ran. Even back when he was OC with the Giants Conerly only threw it a couple hundred times a year. Manage the game. Impose your will on the other team. Throw only when absolutely sure a turnover won't be a result and when it doubt, run the ball and protect the defense.Post season passing attempts.

Brady is throwing so many more times per game.
there are many explanations for it. One is bigger sample size, two is better defenses the deeper you get into the postseason usually, three is different eras but the sample size is by far the biggest factor.
I’m sorry. You mean the Brady rule, right? No, that was the hitting the QB in the legs rule, wasn’t it...no! My bad. The tuck rule was the Brady rule I think. Shoot....I can’t keep up with them all.Sample size.
Brady has 40 playoff games played. Nobody else is close.
Also Brady has played in more than one era of football- both before and after the Polian rule changes to favor the passing game.
The INT he threw in KC right to a D-lineman in the end zone, I was like !Brady's thrown too many INTs in the POs recently, including the SBs, thus his overall career PO passer rating isn't as high as the others. Most of those INTs were simply terrible decisions, too, and not really forced.
That was one of the few instances where Brady was fooled. He thought Ragland was going to take the cheese on the PA and shoot the B-gap which would have left Gronk open in the end zone. Ragland almost did but dropped into the underneath zone just before Brady turned. Rare mistake and one of the few instances where watching as much film as a guy like Brady does can come back to bite you in the ass on the field.The INT he threw in KC right to a D-lineman in the end zone, I was like !
He did this at weird times early in his career as well. For instance, in the 2003 Super Bowl, they lead 21-10. He has a chance to blow the game wide open, going up 28-10 or 24-10, only to throw a bone headed pick in the end zone.
As good as Brady has been, he still makes some throws you’re like “WTF are you doing?”

That’s a throw your remote at the Tv pass.The falling on his butt pass in Miami in 04 was a doozy too. Probably cost them the game.
Oh ok.Passer rating is a formula developed for people who don’t understand football to have one, extremely flawed, and laughably inaccurate metric to compare QBs.
Passes defensed is a statistic you accumulate by having QBs find your man open.
Defending a few while getting torched is not better than covering your man so the qb can’t throw to him.
So what do you think of ESPN’s total QBR thing they’ve been trying to force down people’s throats? Better/worse?Yes. But the weighing is stupid.
Probably better but they don’t define how they calculate it so hard to say.So what do you think of ESPN’s total QBR thing they’ve been trying to force down people’s throats? Better/worse?
I was just about to say probably because Brady throws the ball away. This just confirms it. And we all know how Rodgers likes to hold onto the ball resulting in more sacks.Here's an interesting article explaining the flaws of QB ratings.

Great post, but a lot of 'leadership, play-calling, and other intangible factors' come from the sidelines. It's a team sport. QB rating is fungible.It is important to remember that the system is used to rate pass-ers, not quarterbacks. Statistics do not reflect leadership, play-calling, and other intangible factors that go into making a successful professional quarterback.
