Alright then, disregard all of the facts. How do you explain the preponderance of 5000 yard passing seasons and 40+ TD's in a season recently? Prior to the "Golden Era" only Dan Marino threw for over 40 TD's, now there are 6 other QB's who have done it, including the legendary Matthew Stafford (sic). Manning shattered the old record by 10% this year. Defenses are breaking record bad numbers as well.
Certainly you are not naïve enough to think this is all happenstance. The rules of the game have changed, there is no doubt. You may claim you don't see the game changing, that just means that you aren't watching close enough.
I don't hate Manning, I think he is a great QB who would have thrived in any era, but to call him the greatest who has ever thrown a pigskin would be simply foolish, and a disservice to those who came before him and did not have the benefits of today's game.
