A guy named Drew Brees did it 4 times himself. 

Yep, and the Saints were behind in a ton of games, and really never had much of a running game.  I agree, it is a ridiculous total.  But it really only takes one big play a game over the norm to make it happen.  

One time where Eifert or Uzomah is left alone down the seam as teams crap their pants over getting nickel and dimed by Ross and AJ and it goes for 60 yards. 

One time where Ross, Core, or Malone burns someone deep.  

One time where AJ catches a ball in stride and makes someone miss.

One dump pass to Mixon that he breaks off for a big gainer.

To hit 5,000 yards in a season, a QB has to average roughly 316 yards per game.  That is no doubt a ton of yards week in and week out, and we don't play in a dome.  Dalton is more likely to end up somewhere around the 4300-4500 yard total, but I would sure love to see him involve a lot of players and have teams really confused as to where the ball is going and after backing up teams, then stuffing it down their throats with the running game, instead of trying to establish the run first.
