Our next QB and the Redskins passing records

[TheDane]

If RG3's performance meets his hype he'll throw for 80 TDs and 7,500 yards next year.

More TDs than the Buccaneers all time leading QB, by the way. poor Tampa.

Does that include his rushing yards/TD's?

I don't know if the numbers back this, but I look on Rypien the same way I look at Williams, as one-hit wonders. For one season, Ryp was lights out. And Doug Williams (and the team for example OMG the holes the Hogs made) put on a Superbowl performance that in my opinion has NEVER been surpassed before or since.

But I don't think we've had a consistently top-shelf QB for multiple seasons since Joey T.

Ryp was a two time Pro Bowler and had 3 years in 4 up to 91 when he was one of the better QBs in the NFL (he had one year when he was hurt). He was more than a one year wonder but he was physically limited and a product of a great system and supporting cast. When the team started getting old he just was not good enough to carry them and he got some injuries himself. Then when Joe retired they tried to install a WCO with a short ball control pass offense in which Ryp was horribly miss cast - his strength was the deep ball.

This exactly with respect to Rypien. I would add that he rode the pine for three years (two as one of Gibbs' famed IR stashes).

We'll never know how good Ryp could have been over an extended period of time because he was such a bad fit for WCO. Think about trying to put Tom Brady in the Run and Shoot after 2003. Would he still be Tom Terrific?

Dallas - 165 (Troy Aikman) - I am really suprised by this. I thought Roger S. would have had the record. I wonder how close Tony R. is going to come to this.

Romo is at 149, he will likely break the record this season. He just needs 17 TDs.

Romo is going to have every Cowboys QB record except for 1: SBs.

Griffin might be able to own every 'Skins QB record if he pans out the way we all hope.

Ryp was only "one of the better QBs in the NFL" in 1989 and 1991.

Those were his pro Bowls years for sure and your probably right but he was a good starter in 88 (when he started 6 games winning the job from Doug Williams) and in 1990 when he was injured and started 10 games. He went 18 TDs and 13 INTS in those 8 starts and some spot duty in 88 and 16 TDs and 11 INTs in 1990. Again I would not argue too much with what you say but I think Ryp was a better than average starter in 88 and 90 as well being a Pro Bowler in 89 and 91.

Jesus Christ....can we draft the guy first before this gets started........

We already have....in our minds....and in our hearts.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with what you said here ...

If Griffin pans out the way we all hope, he'll win 2 Super Bowls and own all of the Skins' passing records by his 6th year

Only two?

Um, 6 years might be pushing it for yardage and TDs. SBs, we can dream.
