The problem wasn't the stats analysis, it was the way the question was asked: "what was the worst case outcome of a player who exceeded 290 DYAR in a single performance?" But the real question that wasn't asked there was "what parameters are consistent in any 290 DYAR performance (specifically, Scott Mitchell's)." It just so happens that Aaron Rodgers, playing in the Packers offensive system, with the Packers offensive talent, is having one of the greatest quarterback seasons of all time. Is Aaron Rodgers one of the greatest quarterbacks ever to play pro football? Maybe. But it's more likely that he's in the prime of his career right now because of the fertility of the offense around him.

Great stats -- ones that I use regularly -- poor analysis of the performance in a limited sample.

Rodgers has been posting great stats ever since he took over as the starter, even when he was one of the most sacked QBs in the league, and he doesn't skip a beat when he loses his "fertile" talent to injury (Finley, Jennings, etc.)

Their running game is a joke. Great QBs make make WRs. Whenever Favre's #1 WR would go somewhere else, they would fail (see Antonio Freeman). While I wouldn't put Flynn in the HOF today, I find it hard to believe his game was fluke. 480 yds and 6 TDs is strong indicator that this guy can play.

If the Skins got Flynn and used their 6th pick for Blackmon or made a deal with Cincy and got Alshon Jeffery late in the first round, they would have some real potential on Offense. Or if they got Bowe or Colston in free agency. Whatever the case, they could have a true #1 WR with Hankerson a good, young #2 and Santana Moss their slot WR. Hightower, Helu and Royster in the backfield and Davis and Cooley at TE. They can easily revamp the O line with other draft picks or in free agency.
